Welcome to ToxCOdata™
This manual outlines the basic functionality of the software and guides you
through how to use each function. ToxCOdata™ can be used with compatible
ToxCO® breath monitors to store and export results.
For further information about the ToxCO® device, please see the printable
manual, which can be accessed via the help menu within the software.
Installation
To access ToxCOdata+™, you must first download and install the Bedsoft
framework software.
Bedsoft has been updated to conform to the new GDPR standards, which means it
now includes accounts and passwords to help limit unnecessary access to
patient information. Once Bedsoft has been installed and updated, a prompt
will appear asking if you want to set up user accounts.
Clicking ‘yes’ will prompt you to make the first account, which will be an
administrator’s account. It is advisable to assign an admin person for the
first account as this account will be used to manage any future users should
they forget their login details.
Upon your first login, you will be
prompted to provide 3 security questions and answers. This will be required in
the event you should forget your password.
Please note:
- A user level account cannot access the admin panel to reset security questions or change account privileges – only an administrator account can access the admin control panel to reset security questions, passwords, username’s and create/delete accounts.
- Within the admin panel there is an option to turn user accounts off completely. If this option is off then patient details will be accessible to anyone on the computer.
- In order to change accounts, Bedsoft must be restarted.
- If you decide to set up user accounts later or switch user accounts on/off, this can be accessed from the settings menu at any time.
Once you have enabled user accounts, you will not be able to access
ToxCOdata+™ without your login details.
Once BedSoft has been downloaded and user accounts enabled/disabled,
ToxCOdata+™ can be downloaded and installed from the left hand side of the
screen, under the Bedfont® Store heading.
Once ToxCOdata+™ installation is complete, the software tab will move into the
centre of the screen, as shown below.
