Informatics Panel

The Informatics Panel is the left-hand section of the Certegra Workstation user interface and enables the
interaction with the licensed applications and management of informatics. The Informatics Panel manages
information important to injection procedure. Key groups of information managed through the Informatics Panel
include patient information, procedure information, fluid information, procedure notes, and events information.
