The rules for assigning meter readings to the database are as follows:

■You may transfer readings from a particular meter to the same patient as the previous transfer, a new patient, or a Guest patient.

■If you want to transfer readings from a meter to a different patient than before, you must have selected Require name confirmation to get the meter readings in the General Tab of the Preferences screen. You will be prompted to select a new patient name. Scroll through the names in the Patient field and select the desired one. If you do not see the patient name you are looking for, you may click on the Add New Patient link to create a new name.

■A Guest patient is a permanent entry in the OneTouch® DMS database. It serves as a generic patient name. For example, you can transfer meter readings to the Guest patient name for anyone for whom you want to generate a report but for whom you don't care if their records are saved in the database. Previous Guest entries are deleted from the database every time you start up the Software and each time you transfer new readings to the Guest patient.

■You may stop the transfer process by clicking on the Cancel button.

Notes:

■If you are a new OneTouch® DMS user with a blank (empty) database, only the Guest patient name exists in the database. This means you will have to click on the Add New Patient button to create a new patient name for the meter transfer.

■If meter readings are not successfully transferred, an on screen message box will prompt you to check the meter/cable connections. For other meter communications problems, see Appendix C: Troubleshooting.
