Ordering Patient Specific Devices

The process for placing an order with a patient's custom files is through the p.d software. On rare occasions, it may be necessary to load .dec files that were created by the p.d software based on a patient's files. This is usually done by .decimal personnel.

If it becomes necessary to upload a patient's .dec files to complete an order, full instructions for uploading the patient's files and placing the order can be found here, along with a list of possible error codes.
