ResScan Essentials Clinical Guide

Match downloads to patients

When you insert an SD card for PAP machines or a USB stick for Astral devices, and ResScan Essentials is running, the application recognises the device and displays a popup window. You can click the popup to review data without assigning it to a patient.

If the serial number located on the SD card or USB stick matches an existing patient file, the Matched patient dialogue opens.

To download Matched patient data:

  1. If this patient is the one you're looking for, click the patient.

  2. Click Continue.

    The Download data dialogue appears. By default, ResScan Essentials downloads summary data. To change this setting:

    • Select Detailed data for All nights, or choose from one of the other menu options: Last night, 7 nights, or 14 nights.

    • Select Include high-resolution data (when available).

  3. Click Download data.

If the serial number doesn't match your patient

If the inserted SD card brings up a different Matched patient, you can select one of two options:

  1. Search for a patient: enter the patient name or patient ID in the search bar if you know the patient has an existing account.

  2. Create a new patient if the you know that that patient is not in the ResScan Essentials patient directory.
