Windows devices not receiving NEMSIS dataset updates

Defaults button for IABP fields
We added a 'Defaults' button on the Resp/Cardio > IABP Checklist and IABP Assessment pages so that default values will only be populated and saved when the 'Defaults' button is clicked.
Billing Signature
We fixed an issue where the Billing Signature was not removed from the PCR when it was deleted.
Auto-updater
We fixed an issue that prevented the auto-update feature from displaying notifications to prompt end users to install the update. 4.3.7 requires a manual update, but future updates can be installed using the auto-update feature.
We are aware of the following issues and are working to resolve them in an upcoming release:
-
NEMSIS 3.5: ZOLL emsCharts for Windows is not yet updated for NEMSIS 3.5 and cannot generate NEMSIS 3.5 data. You must upload your charts and complete them in ZOLL emsCharts Web to generate and validate NEMSIS 3.5 data.
-
ZOLL Cloud EKG Import unexpected error: If the EKG Report Image Type for your service is set to anything other than 'Default (Leave as JPG, Bitmap)', users will receive an "Unexpected error" when trying to import into ZOLL emsCharts for Windows. Administrators can update this setting in the Web EKG Configuration code table.
-
Multiple brands of EKG devices: If you use both ZOLL EKG devices and other manufacturers' devices, you will need two instances of ZOLL emsCharts for Windows installed.
-
Windows on ARM is not currently supported. For example, Microsoft Surface Pro X devices. For more information about Windows on ARM, see Microsoft's Windows Arm-based PCs FAQ.
