Set up HST devices
Before you can set up an HST device for a patient, you must have SDI installed and running on your workstation. You must also install any software required by the HST device on your computer.
If the HST device can connect by USB, connect it to your computer.
The SDI displays a notification that the device is ready to be initialized and shows the device serial number.
In Somnoware, hover over the Scheduler module and click HST.
In the calendar, click the patient who requires the HST device.
Click Checkout Device.
From the Device Type list, select the HST device to assign to the patient.
If the HST device is connected to your computer, the Device Type and Scan / type fields are pre-populated based on the information from the connected device.
In the Scan / type field, enter the serial number of the HST device.
Click Initialize/Checkout.
