How to use the USB key
The USB key must be formatted before any use. The format should be done
on the Mythic 18.
How to proceed?
1. Plug the USB key on
oOne of the two USB port for the Mythic 18 equipped with normal USB port.
oThe USB port on the lower position for the Mythic 18 equipped with small
USB port (like camera USB port).
2. Go to Set Up, Advanced menu, Storage Options.
3. Then, press USB thumb drive format.
4. When the format is finished a prompt will appear.
oIf the USB key is not compatible, a prompt will appear to inform you. In
this way, try another one.
NOTE: The format is done in FAT16. For this reason it is not necessary to
equip the Mythic 18 with a USB key with a capacity higher than 2 Gb.
2 Gb capacity = Around 60.000 patients.
128 Mb capacity = Around 10.000 patients.
Once your USB key is formatted, you can start to work with it.

Overview of the main tree of the USB key:
The serial number of the Mythic 18 is coded as : xxxxxx-yyyyyy
These two groups of 6 digits will be used to create private folders, only usable on one
instrument.
Root folder for Mythic 18 analyser
Common folders. The content of this part
can be used on all Mythic 18 instruments.
NOTE: These folders must be created
manually, with Explorer Windows for
example.
All of these folders and datas contained in
these folders are dedicated to the
instrument and can’t be transfer to
another instrument.
Each folder is automatically created by the
Mythic 18.

Once installed, you can use the USB key how you want.
Two cases:
5. The USB key is not connected on the instrument:
All the patient results will be saved on the internal memory of the instrument.
NOTE: The capacity of the internal memory is 1.500 patient results instead of 500 in the
previous version.
When the key will be locked on the instrument, the Mythic 18 will ask you if you want to
transfer the data on the USB. In this way, these data will be erased from the internal
memory.
6. The USB key is connected on the instrument:
If you have activated the option Real time runs save in the Storage Options, all the
results from the patient will be directly saved on the USB key.
NOTE: To avoid the problem of memory full, we recommend activating the option FIFO
Mode (First In, First Out) in the storage options. When the memory is almost full the first
result will be erased and replaced by the last one.
