Database Repair for CASE/CardioSoft
Card_Rep V7.0
Terms and Definitions
REPAIR The Database Repair Tool: CARD_REP.exe
CARDIO CASE / CardioSoft application
PC System PC/laptop platform on which the CARDIO

application is installed
General
• The Database Repair Tool can be used for all CASE CardioSoft versions up to V7.0.
• There is no installation program. The program file CARD_REP.EXE must be copied
from infocenter manually to the directory where CARDIO is installed (Program
Install Directory). There is a choice between English or German user interface
language.
• The database can be repaired, because CARDIO stores the patient data in the
header of the examination files. So with each examination file that can be
successfully read from the disk, the appropriate patient and examination records
can be stored in the files PATIENT.BTR,EXAMINA.BTR, and VISIT.BTR.
• REPAIR supports the following modalities: Exercise Test, Resting ECG, Ambulatory
Blood Pressure, Spirometry, and Archived Patient Records. The modalities from
CardioSys up to V4.2 like Exercise Test, Late Potentials, STAT ECG, and Right-Heart
Cath are also supported. Ergospirometry Tests are a subset of Exercise Tests and
will also be repaired.
• REPAIR also supports to repair the entries made from External Programs acquired
with system version 6.5 and later.
• It is not possible to repair the following entries, because the corresponding data
is not stored in the examination file: Device/Cart number, Flag if the examination
was sent to MUSE.
• REPAIR does not modify the original data from the CARDIO database. The repaired
data is stored in a temporary directory CARD_RX, which is selected by the user
in the tool. Therefore, the person who repairs the database is responsible for
determining how to continue working with the repaired data.

Database Repair for CASE/CardioSoft Card_Rep V7.0
• After the repair is finished, a protocol can be viewed and printed.

Repair Workflow
Each examination is stored in a different file. This file contains the complete data test
and also the patient demographics. To have fast access to the patient examinations,
there are three index files. These files are the patient database (PATIENT.BTR), the
examination database (EXAMINA.BTR), and the visit number database (VISIT.BTR). The
repair works as follows:
1. Generate new temporary databases for patients, examinations, and visit

numbers.
2. Find first examination.
3. Repeat until all examination files are scanned.

a) Extract the patient demographics from the examination file.
b) Make a new entry or update the patient database.
c) Make a new entry in the examination database.
d) Make a new entry in the visit database, if applicable.
e) Copy the examination file from the master directory to the repair directory.
f) Rename the examination file according to the new internal patient index.
g) Find next examination.
When the repair is done, the complete data (index files + examination files) are
available in the repair directory. The result of the repair is that the index files, used
from the Patient List and Test List, are generated new, while the content of the binary
examination files remain unchanged.

Repair Directory Structure

The repair directories have fix names Card_R0 … Card_R9. Any writeable disk drive
can be selected.
User Interface
• Select the directory where the CARDIO database is installed (Database Directory,
Master). Depending on this directory, REPAIR generates the directory names for all
modalities where the examination files are located.
• Select the disk drive and the directory where all the repaired data is stored. Make
sure that there is enough disk space.

Settings
Special Settings for Handling the Patient Data

This describes what to do when the patient data stored in the examination file is
different from the data stored in the CARDIO database. This may happen when the
patient data was modified after an examination was acquired.

1. Control the Patient data with a dialog box that displays the data from the
database and the patient data coming from the examination file.
2. Always use the patient data from the examination file.
3. Always retain the patient data found in the database.
4. Use the data from the database and update empty fields with valid entries from
the examination file.
Special Settings for Handling the Examination Data
This describes what to do when the key generated from the examination file is
already available in the database. This may happen when examinations are merged
from different directories and there are several entries for one patient with the same
date and time (year, month, day, hour, minute, and second). This is unrealistic under
normal circumstances.
1. Ignore the examination: The examination file shall not be copied to the repair
directory.
2. Generate a new key and store the examination: The seconds of the recording
time shall be incremented and a new attempt is made with the modified key.
This possibility should be used with care, because when REPAIR is executed
several times with the same examination files, several entries will be found in the
database for the same test.
Building the Patient ID
This setting may be helpful for tests coming from ECG devices like MAC800, 1200,
1600, 3500, 5000, 5500 where the user did not enter a Patient ID and the CARDIO
application assigned all tests to the patient with ID 000000.
It is also possible to rebuild the whole Patient ID system by using random numbers or
by using some characters from the patient's Last Name, First Name, and the Date of
Birth.
Patient Filter
It is possible to set a filter for the patient's Last Name and Patient ID, so only
patients/examinations matching this filter are stored in the new database. The filter
specification can also include wildcards (* ?). Examples:
Filter "Last Name":
Me* Selects patients beginning with Me followed by

any other combination of characters.
Me??? Selects patients beginning with Me followed by

exactly three other characters.
Meier Selects patients with the Last Name Meier.
*xyz* Selects patients containing the substring xyz.

The specification for searching can also be extended by the property Match case.
After Repair
With the View button you can have a look at the entries made in PATIENT.BTR and
EXAMINA.BTR.
This window also supports the functionality to export all patients, examinations, and
visit numbers to a text file.
You can continue working with the repaired database by choosing one of the
following options:
1. Delete the files PATIENT.BTR, EXAMINA.BTR, and VISIT.BTR in the database

master directory and copy these files from the repair directory. Delete the
examination files in the database master directory: RESTECG\*.* ERGOECG\*.*
AVER\*.* SPIR\*.* EMECG\*.* RHK\*.* HOLTERBP\*.* CAS\*.* SOUND\*.* ONLINE\*.*
and copy these files from the repair directory.
2. When separate folders are used as "program directory" and "database

directory", the following steps can be performed: Copy the files USERS.BTR and
the Configured Report Templates (directory: NARRATIV) and the .ini files from the
database master directory to the repair directory: (button: Users/Conf. Reports…)
Delete the database master directory. Rename or copy the repair directory to the
database master directory.

Specialties
Merging Data
With REPAIR, it is also possible to merge the patient data and examination data
stored in different directories into one database:
1. Decide which database to use as the base and copy the whole directory into a
repair directory (C:\Card_R0, ... C:\Card_R9 )
2. Select the directories of the files where the examinations are stored that should
be merged.
3. Start Repair and the selected examinations will be merged to the repair
directory.
Continue as described in "After Repair" on page 18.
External Stored Examinations
It is possible to rebuild the database entries for the examinations stored on external
media.
However, the device where the examinations are stored must be writeable, because
during the repair procedure the header of each examination file will be changed
and the file will be renamed. The examination files will not be copied to the repair
directory.
Examinations with Online-ECG
When using a directory structure not complying with the CARDIO conventions, there
may be problems with examinations that include a full disclosure ECG.
That is why REPAIR assumes that the full disclosure files are stored in the directory
named ..\ONLINE which exists in parallel with the examinations. When REPAIR
does not find such a directory, no full disclosure file will be available for these
examinations.
Modalities for which full disclosure ECGs may exist are Exercise Test, STAT ECG, Right-
Heart Cath, and Ergospirometry.
Example: If you want to repair Exercise Tests, where the examinations are stored in
the directory d:\exercise, make sure that the corresponding full disclosure files are
stored in d:\online.

Functions Controlled with Card_Rep.ini

The following functions are implemented by defining settings in Card_Rep.ini section
[Settings] and cannot be activated from the user interface. We recommend using the
Windows text editor Notepad.exe to edit these settings in Card_Rep.ini.
NOTE:
CARD_REP.ini is located in the same folder as CARD_REP.exe.
PatNameFormat1
PatNameFormat1=1
• If the length of the patient name is 2 characters, a point shall be insert after
characters.
• If the length of the patient name is 3 characters and the second character is a '.' '-'
',', a point shall be set at the second and fourth positions.
AN --> A.N.
U,G --> U.G.
NOTE:
This was implemented at the request of a customer who wanted
to get a special patient ID format uniform.
PatIdFormat1
C-syntax like format string used to format numeric patient IDs
Range: maximum 20 characters
Default: empty
Example 1: PatIdFormat1="%06d"
Result: the PID has 6 characters with leading zeros
PID New PID
457 000457
63 000063

Example 2: PatIdFormat1="%8d"
Result: the PID has 8 characters with leading blanks
PID New PID
457 ' 457'
63 ' 63'
Example 3: PatIdFormat1="1%06d" and NumPatIdLength=6

Result: adds one Million to the PID
PID New PID
457 1000457
63 1000063
Example 4: PatIdFormat1="%d"
Result: Leading zeros shall be trimmed
PID New PID
00457 457
63000 63000
002200 2200
PatIdFormat3
PatIdFormat3=1
Uses acquisition date and file extension to generate the Patient ID, if the items Patient
ID, Last Name, First Name coming from the examination file are empty and the
acquisition date is valid.
PatIdFormat3=2
Generates a random Patient ID, if the items Patient ID, Last Name, First Name coming
from the examination file are empty and the acquisition date is valid.
Length see chapter settings
PatIdCarddas
PatIdCarddas=1
Added a special rule to transform the Patient ID:
All characters after the first ^ need to be deleted.
0001234567^1^M11 => 0001234567

0001233333^M11 => 0001233333
1234567 => not changed

NOTE:
This was implemented at the request of a customer who changed
the Patient ID format in the EMR system and so could no longer
view the tests stored in CardioSoft, via the GDT interface.
PatIdRefList
This function is helpful to transform Patient IDs to a new Patient ID system.
• Old and new Patient IDs will be read from a reference file.
• The reference file is a text file.
• Old and new Patient IDs need to be separated by a special character (Default =
TAB).
PatIdRefList="d:\PidRefList.txt" (Folder + Filename)

PatIdSeparator="\t" (Default="\t", others can be used, such as "," ";")
PatIdOldname=1 (Default=1:old PID new PID 2:new PID old PID)
