IDE Devices: First select IDE Device Manufacturer
IDE Devices: Enter N/A for device details, diameter and length (product number then defaults to IDE)
IDE Devices: NEVER, NEVER, EVER enter IDE’s in “other” Add IDE details in the comment box for internal use only Rationale: we need to exclude them from research projects and we can’t easily accomplish this if they are in “other” Plan to audit all “IDE and Other Devices” in the near future to clean up these lists Always email Pathwayssupport@M2S.com if you can’t find a device in the list Future enhancement: Adding free text “other device” box for all devices and medications Interfacing with GUDID for all devices in all registries
