Data Export. Data Export applies to data that displays patient information, such as screen
captures, data base records, and pdf reports. Data Export is nominally set to encrypt exported
data (see Personal Identification Number). Session Records and Programmer Logs are
automatically encrypted, and only Abbott Medical personnel can access the data.
You can view Data Export settings in Preferences from the Tools menu To adjust the patient data
export setting, contact Technical Support.
Personal Identification Number (PIN). To export data you must create a Personal Identification
Number. The PIN cannot:
Repeat a number six times in succession, for example 555555

Have consecutive numbers in either ascending or descending order, for example 123456 or

654321
NOTE: Be sure to document the PIN selected. The PIN will be required later to access the
data from the flash drive.
