IEEE 11073-10101a-2015

This project will add new term definitions to the existing standardized set. It will contain a set of amendments to specific tables within the existing standard. The purpose of this standard is to define the unique terms and concepts required for point-of-care medical device data communication. This document will serve as the data dictionary for present and future medical device data communication applications. Amendment Standard - Superseded. Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for point-of-care (POC) medical device communication (MDC), the nomenclature defined by the base ISO/IEEE 11073-10101:2004 nomenclature standard is extended by this amendment. Significant extensions to support haemodynamics, respiration, ventilation and anesthesia monitoring, blood gas, urine, fluid-related metrics, and neurology, as well as units of measurements and measurement sites, are included. Formal definitions for observation identifiers used by the IEEE 11073 Personal Health Device standards and additional attributes for reporting their regulatory and certification status are also captured and provided. Information attributes to support alert communication and accurate medical device time synchronization and timekeeping are also defined.
