1. How do I merge two patient records together or move images to another record?

   Duplicate patient records or images acquired under the wrong patient name may be corrected for by using the "Change Patient Feature."

2. Do I have to manually select which patients to archive?

   No, the Eye Explorer software automatically keeps track of which images have to be archived and therefore images do not have to be manually selected.

3. How often should I archive?

   Archiving protects images from being irretrievably lost due to a system crash. It is recommended to archive daily or at least once per week to protect acquired images.

4. Can I change the date of an exam?

   No, exams are time-stamped by the software and cannot be altered after acquisition.

   This is to ensure compliance with Federal guidelines and that patient data is not illegally altered.
   If the date on the computer is not correct, it will incorrectly date acquired images
   Immediately amend an incorrect date through the date and time control panel in the Microsoft Windows software:

   To amend the date and time on your instrument:

   Double-left-click on the time in the bottom right corner of your Windows desktop
   Correct the date and time
   Click on "Apply"
   Close the Date and Time Properties

5. Do I have to manually select which patients to archive?

   No, the Eye Explorer software automatically keeps track of which images have to be archived and therefore images do not have to be manually selected.
