Note
To remove the medical record of a patient which is stored online on NobelConnect®, the patient file first has to be removed online (see: Stop storing patient online). A copy of the patient file will be stored 'privately' (in a Practice setup) or 'locally' (in a Single user setup). The patient file can be deleted.
Deleting an online patient file, however, will be impossible if the patient has been created with a newer version of the software than the one available on your PC.
