Before issuing the Data Card, make sure that it has been labeled with the patient's ID
and that the bubble mailer is correctly addressed. Refer to "Using the Mailback
Envelope and Bubble Mailer" on page 39 for more details.
Check that the patient knows:
why they are being issued with a Data Card
•
when and how they must use the Data Card
•
how to insert the Data Card
•
how to remove the Data Card
•
how to return the Data Card
•
where to look for information (the "Troubleshooting" section of the User's Manual
•
for their S8 device) if the data transfer does not work as expected.
L
ABELING THE
We strongly advise that you write the patient's identification details on the Data
•
Card to prevent any mix-up of patient data. A space is provided on the Data Card
for this purpose.
Each Data Card is reusable. If you are issuing an existing Data Card to a new
•
patient, make sure that the card is labeled with the new patient's ID. Use the space
provided on the Data Card label when issuing a new card.
Notes:
a. When reusing a Data Card, make sure that you use a label that does not cover more
than the ID area on the Data Card, and is not more than 0.078" (0.2 mm) thick. If the
label is larger than this, the patient may not be able to insert the Data Card into the
Data Card module on their flow generator.
b. If you reuse a Data Card that already has a label on it, remove the old label before
attaching a new one.
S
UPPLYING THE
The patient may be given a blank Data Card when they receive an
Card module attached, or if they subsequently have their
Cards.
If you want to monitor a patient's treatment, you can give or mail them a blank Data
Card with a mailback envelope. The patient can return the card to you when they have
copied their data onto it. If you are mailing the Data Card, you need to advise the
patient when the card is being mailed out to them.
If you want a patient to update the settings in their
settings on to a Data Card and either give or mail them the card with a mailback
envelope. The patient can return the card to you when they have applied the settings
on their S8 device. The information on the card will allow you to assess whether the
patient's settings have been changed as expected.
Notes
a. The Data Card should be stored in its mailback envelope when not in use.
b. Use a postal envelope to mail the bubble mailer and its contents to the patient.
