RAPIDPoint 500/RAPIDPoint 500e Configuration Guide
1 Introduction
This manual describes the use of the UniPOC™Point of Care Data Management System software to
configure the RAPIDPoint®500 and RAPIDPoint®500e device.
Please read this configuration guide for step-by-step instructions and illustrations on how to configure the
devices prior to placing them in service.
2 Intended Use
This software allows you to configure and use the RAPIDPoint®500/RAPIDPoint®500e device with the
UniPOC™Point of Care Data Management System. This product is not for diagnostic use.
3 Instrument Configuration Pages
Important: Configuration settings can change based on the UniPOC application version and device driver
pack versions installed. For example, a device driver pack may be updated to support a new or changed
configuration setting but if you are using an older version of the UniPOC application that does not support
the change, you will not see the updated configuration setting in the UI.
The following Instrument Configuration pages are described in this manual.

4 Configuration Screens
The Instrument Configuration screens in UniPOC allow you to view and edit the RAPIDPoint 500 and
RAPIDPoint 500e configuration data for a specific location. These devices can be configured for the entire
Organization or for an individual Facility, Department or Location.
Note: Siemens recommends entering configuration data at the Facility level when possible. Department
level settings should then be used to vary the instrument configurations only as needed. The Organization
level settings then remain available for reference as default values.
Procedure:
Select a Facility, Department or Location in the tree.
From the menu, select Instruments > Configuration.
The Instrument Configuration screen appears.
Select RAPIDPoint 500 from the Instrument drop-down list.
Select one of the following Configuration Download options:
Assigned Location (Recommended) If you select this option, UniPOC uses the Location
where the device’s serial number or name resides in the Location Tree
regardless of where the device is used or docked (Default). This location
will determine the:
•Configuration settings to be downloaded to the device
•Supported lists downloaded to the device
•Location where all test data are uploaded to in the Tree
Download Location (Not Recommended) If you select this option, UniPOC uses the Location
where the device’s or docking station’s IP address resides in the Location
Tree. This location will determine the:
•Configuration settings to be downloaded to the device
•Supported lists downloaded to the device
•Location where all test data are uploaded to in the Tree
Note: UniPOC will automatically update the device’s location in the Tree
when it communicates to UniPOC.
Select the desired configuration tab and set the options.
Note: Be sure to note the selected Tree level prior to saving the instrument configuration
settings to ensure the settings are applied to the appropriate locations.
Do one of the following:
•Click the Save Configuration button to save the settings.
This will break the Parent-Child relationship and save the configuration as a new one, even
if no changes were made. Saving an instrument configuration for a lower level of the Tree
(Department or Location) will sever the relationship between the child and its parent level on

the Tree. Breaking the Parent-Child relationship is necessary to enable configuration settings
different from the global Organization or Facility.
Refer to the UniPOC User’s Manual for more information about the Location Tree Parent-
Child Relationship.
•Click the Restore Default Configuration button to re-establish a Parent-Child relationship
that was severed in error or when the configuration settings should be the same as its parent
(Facility, Department or Location). This action will save the configuration from the parent.
•To cancel the configuration action without saving, go to a screen other than the Instrument
Configuration screen.
4.1 Download Options
When a device is placed into operation for the first time, all data that can be downloaded from UniPOC to
the model are automatically activated from this screen. This tab is used to set the download options. When
you enable a download, all pre-existing data of that type stored on the device will be overwritten. Once
enabled, options can be disabled at any time.
Note: When a selected download option is disabled, any previously downloaded data of that download type
will be removed from the device when the device receives its new configuration.
Explanation of the parameters
Enable download of the following
data:
Device users If selected, device users’ data will be downloaded.

4.2 Instrument Settings
Each operator is assigned to a home Location within a Facility. Each Facility in the organization maintains
a separate operator list. Instrument settings saved at the Facility level affect the Department and Location
levels as well. Settings saved at the Location level affect only the selected Location.
Note: Instrument settings saved at the top level of the Tree affect all sub-levels.
Explanation of the parameters
Operator list location Choose from four location options to download the operator list.
Location
Facility The operator list will be downloaded to all instruments within the Facility. The
list will contain all operators certified for the device whose home location is
within the Facility.
Department The operator list will be downloaded to all instruments assigned to location
within the associated Department. The list will contain all operators certified for
the instrument whose home location is within the Department.
Location The operator list will be downloaded to all instruments assigned to a location.
The list will contain all operators certified for the instrument with a matching
home location.
None The operator list will not be downloaded. (Default)
