The sticker on the back of a 2100 (a backup unit for my 2000 (upg)) I
got from eBay a few weeks ago says "BBC Property." I infer that the BBC
referred to is the British Broadcasting Corporation, but it came with a
complete medical database on it with all the info intact, so maybe it's
some other BBC. Patients were identified by initials, and the rest of
the info was in a very cryptic shorthand, , so it was meaningless, but
still someone should have erased all that.
This thing hadn't had a battery in it for quite some time I imagine,
but all the software was still there except for owner info. How long
will these things last before the stored items disappear?
