Implant import into MEMdoc
Implant data can be sent to MEMdoc in a simple XML format. The implants will be automatically linked to the surgery form of the specified patient. In case the implant cannot be linked, it will be available in a tool for manual linkage.
Transmitting data:
Data will be transmitted to MEMdoc by SFTP. You will be given an account on our FTP server.
Every 2 minutes, the FTP server will be checked for new data, which will be validated and imported into the database
Data files
The data will be sent in XML files. Each file must have a unique name.
You will be given a providerID, The files should be named:
yourProiderid-uniqueString.xml
You can use a timestamp or whatever you want to create a unique string, but every file must have a unique name!
