Barcode Scanner
The Internal Configuration Mode allows you to enable the scanning of patients’ and/or
clinicians’ barcodes for identification purposes. The barcode scanner supports most linear
barcodes.
1. Remove the barcode scanner from its holder.
2. Hold the scanner approximately 6 inches (15.4 cm) from the barcode and squeeze the
button so that the light from the scanner appears on the barcode. The scanner
provides an audible tone with each successful barcode reading.
If the scanner has difficulty reading the barcode, slowly adjust the distance and the
angle between the scanner and the barcode while squeezing the scanner button. If it
continues to have difficulty, verify that the barcode is as flat as possible.
The patient identification number displays in the Navigation Window on the Spot LXi
display. However, if both Patient ID and Clinician ID are enabled in the Internal
Configuration Mode, Spot LXi asks if the scanned ID is for the patient or the clinician.
If Patient ID is enabled and the Clinician ID is disabled in the Internal Configuration
Mode, Spot Vital Signs LXi interprets the scanned bar code as the Patient ID.
Follow the instructions on the display. Clinician ID numbers do not appear on the Spot
LXi display; however, they are retained in memory for recall, printing, or to send
electronically to patient records.
Erase Removes the displayed record from memory. Yes or no.
Erase All Removes all records from memory. Yes or no.
WARNING When connecting a weight scale to the Spot LXi, only operate the
scale using battery power. DO NOT use the weight scale’s AC adapter power
supply.
Note If the weight scale is enabled in the Internal Configuration Mode, you cannot
manually enter the patient’s weight.
