Adding a New Patient
To add a new patient in the Welch Allyn Image Capture System:
1. Login to the Welch Allyn Image Capture System. Your password brings you to the Select
Session / Create Patient screen.
2. Click the New Patient button. The computer generates a new file folder.
3. Name the new folder with a unique Patient ID, the system allows combinations of alpha and
numeric characters, and click the Enter key. Do not use the characters \ /:*?"<>| or a series
of periods (...) in your naming conventions as Windows considers these invalid naming
characters.
4. The Welch Allyn Image Capture System creates a session for the current date, is now in
Image Capture mode, and ready to take images.
Adding a New Session

Patient Already Has A Session Folder for Today's Date. Any Previously Captured Images
Will Now Be Loaded”, clicking OK will load the current images and allow the user to add
more images to the folder.
