ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has
been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted (see www.iso.org/directives).
IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating
Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards
through a consensus development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which
brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product.
Volunteers are not necessarily members of the Institute and serve without compensation. While the IEEE
administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process,
the IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in
its standards.

rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken by the IEEE with respect to the existence or validity of any patent
rights in connection therewith. If a patent holder or patent applicant has filed a statement of assurance via an Accepted Letter
of Assurance, then the statement is listed on the IEEE SA Website at https://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/patents.html.
Letters of Assurance may indicate whether the Submitter is willing or unwilling to grant licenses under patent rights without
compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair
discrimination to applicants desiring to obtain such licenses.
Essential Patent Claims may exist for which a Letter of Assurance has not been received. The IEEE is not responsible for
identifying Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or
scope of Patents Claims, or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in connection with submission of a
Letter of Assurance, if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory. Users of this standard are
expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely
their own responsibility. Further information may be obtained from the IEEE Standards Association.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
IEEE Standards do not guarantee or ensure safety, security, health, or environmental protection, or ensure against interference
with or from other devices or networks. IEEE Standards development activities consider research and information presented to
the standards development group in developing any safety recommendations. Other information about safety practices,
changes in technology or technology implementation, or impact by peripheral systems also may be pertinent to safety
considerations during implementation of the standard. Implementers and users of IEEE Standards documents are responsible
for determining and complying with all appropriate safety, security, environmental, health, and interference protection
practices and all applicable laws and regulations.

Introduction
This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 11073-10101b-2023, Health informatics—Device interoperability—
Part 10101: Foundational—Nomenclature—Amendment 1: Additional definitions.
ISO/IEEE 11073 standards enable communication between medical devices and external computer systems. They provide
automatic and detailed electronic data capture of patient vital signs information and device operational data. The primary goals are
to:
 Provide real-time plug-and-play interoperability for patient-connected medical devices
 Facilitate the efficient exchange of vital signs and medical device data, acquired at the point-of-care, in all health care
environments
This amendment extends the nomenclature defined in IEEE Std 11073-10101-2019. It reflects the continued innovation in
medical device and is based on a highly successful collaboration with the following organizations:
 Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise Devices (IHE DEV) domain, which includes the Patient Care Devices (PCD),
Personal Connected Health (PCH) and Device Point-of-Care Interoperability (DPi) Programs
 ISO/TC 121, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment, Subcommittee 4, Terminology and semantics
In addition, other vendors and standards development and profiling organizations have contributed to and have recognized the
value of this work and the benefit it provides to the user and provider communities and to the patients that we ultimately serve.
This nomenclature amendment includes significant extensions to support:
 Haemodynamic monitoring, pulse oximetry and regional cerebral oxygen monitoring
 Respiratory, ventilation and anesthesia: high-frequency ventilation, high-flow therapy, neurally adjusted ventilatory
assist (NAVA) and ventilation mode based on ISO 19223
 Infusion pumps, target-controlled infusion (TCI), patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and other capabilities based on
the work of the IHE DEV PCD domain program
 Hemodialysis for chronic and acute care, including fluid chemistry and other fluid related metrics
 Neuromuscular transmission monitoring (NMT) and stimulation modes
 Signal quality index (SQI) and mapping to a unified vendor- and device-independent representation
 Major extension of medical device event and alert nomenclature and grouping with existing terms
 Alarm inactivation and additional attributes related to alert management and communication
 New units of measurement
 New medical device types and monitoring parameters

This amendment also includes:
 Units of measure associated with individual numeric observations and attributes
 Enumerated values with descriptions associated with individual observations and attributes

NOTES as used in this amendment (preceding editorial instructions) are not meant to be included in the rollup or part of the
editorial instructions. They are used solely to provide informative guidance and background to the reader as to why certain
changes were made.
