Foreword
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 documents 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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the
ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World
Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/
iso/foreword.html.
ISO/IEEE 11073-10101 was prepared by the IEEE 11073 Standards Committee of the IEEE
Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (as IEEE Std 11073-10101-2019) and drafted in
accordance with its editorial rules. It was adopted, under the “fast-track procedure” defined in the Partner
Standards Development Organization cooperation agreement between ISO and IEEE, by Technical
Committee ISO/TC 215, Health informatics.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEEE 11073-10101:2004), which has been
technically revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO/IEEE 11073-10101:2004/Amd 1:2017.

Abstract: Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for point-of-care (POC)
and personal health devices (PHD) medical device communication (MDC), this standard provides
the nomenclature that supports both the domain information model and service model
components of the standards family, as well as the semantic content exchanged with medical
devices. The nomenclature is specialized for patient vital signs information representation and
medical device informatics, with major areas including concepts for electrocardiograph (ECG),
haemodynamics, respiration, blood gas, urine, fluid-related metrics, and neurology, as well as
specialized units of measurement, general device events, alarms, and body sites. The standard
defines both the architecture and major components of the nomenclature, along with extensive
definitions for each conceptual area.

Important Notices and Disclaimers Concerning IEEE Standards Documents
IEEE documents are made available for use subject to important notices and legal disclaimers. These
notices and disclaimers, or a reference to this page, appear in all standards and may be found under the
heading “Important Notices and Disclaimers Concerning IEEE Standards Documents.” They can also be
obtained on request from IEEE or viewed at http://standards.ieee.org/ipr/disclaimers.html.
Notice and Disclaimer of Liability Concerning the Use of IEEE Standards
Documents
IEEE Standards documents (standards, recommended practices, and guides), both full-use and trial-use, are
developed within IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards
Association (“IEEE SA”) Standards Board. IEEE (“the Institute”) develops its standards through a
consensus development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute (“ANSI”), which
brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. IEEE
Standards are documents developed through scientific, academic, and industry-based technical working
groups. Volunteers in IEEE working groups are not necessarily members of the Institute and participate
without compensation from IEEE. While IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote
fairness in the consensus development process, IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the
accuracy of any of the information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards.
IEEE Standards do not guarantee or ensure safety, security, health, or environmental protection, or ensure
against interference with or from other devices or networks. 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.
IEEE does not warrant or represent the accuracy or content of the material contained in its standards, and
expressly disclaims all warranties (express, implied and statutory) not included in this or any other
document relating to the standard, including, but not limited to, the warranties of: merchantability; fitness
for a particular purpose; non-infringement; and quality, accuracy, effectiveness, currency, or completeness
of material. In addition, IEEE disclaims any and all conditions relating to: results; and workmanlike effort.
IEEE standards documents are supplied “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.”
Use of an IEEE standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE standard does not imply that there
are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related
to the scope of the IEEE standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved
and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and comments
received from users of the standard.
In publishing and making its standards available, IEEE is not suggesting or rendering professional or other
services for, or on behalf of, any person or entity nor is IEEE undertaking to perform any duty owed by any
other person or entity to another. Any person utilizing any IEEE Standards document, should rely upon his
or her own independent judgment in the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances or, as
appropriate, seek the advice of a competent professional in determining the appropriateness of a given
IEEE standard.
IN NO EVENT SHALL IEEE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS;
OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY,
WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR
OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE PUBLICATION, USE OF, OR RELIANCE
UPON ANY STANDARD, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE AND
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGE WAS FORESEEABLE.

Translations
The IEEE consensus development process involves the review of documents in English only. In the event
that an IEEE standard is translated, only the English version published by IEEE should be considered the
approved IEEE standard.
Official statements
A statement, written or oral, that is not processed in accordance with the IEEE SA Standards Board
Operations Manual shall not be considered or inferred to be the official position of IEEE or any of its
committees and shall not be considered to be, or be relied upon as, a formal position of IEEE. At lectures,
symposia, seminars, or educational courses, an individual presenting information on IEEE standards shall
make it clear that his or her views should be considered the personal views of that individual rather than the
formal position of IEEE.
Comments on standards
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards documents are welcome from any interested party, regardless of
membership affiliation with IEEE. However, IEEE does not provide consulting information or advice
pertaining to IEEE Standards documents. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a
proposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments. Since IEEE standards represent a
consensus of concerned interests, it is important that any responses to comments and questions also receive
the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its societies and
Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to comments or questions
except in those cases where the matter has previously been addressed. For the same reason, IEEE does not
respond to interpretation requests. Any person who would like to participate in revisions to an IEEE
standard is welcome to join the relevant IEEE working group.
Comments on standards should be submitted to the following address:
Secretary, IEEE SA Standards Board
445 Hoes Lane
Piscataway, NJ 08854 USA
Laws and regulations
Users of IEEE Standards documents should consult all applicable laws and regulations. Compliance with
the provisions of any IEEE Standards document does not imply compliance to any applicable regulatory
requirements. Implementers of the standard are responsible for observing or referring to the applicable
regulatory requirements. IEEE does not, by the publication of its standards, intend to urge action that is not
in compliance with applicable laws, and these documents may not be construed as doing so.
Copyrights
IEEE draft and approved standards are copyrighted by IEEE under U.S. and international copyright laws.
They are made available by IEEE and are adopted for a wide variety of both public and private uses. These
include both use, by reference, in laws and regulations, and use in private self-regulation, standardization,
and the promotion of engineering practices and methods. By making these documents available for use and
adoption by public authorities and private users, IEEE does not waive any rights in copyright to the
documents.

periodically.
Patents
Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require use of subject matter
covered by patent 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 http://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.

Introduction
This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 11073-10101-2019, Health informatics—Point-of-Care Medical Device
Communication—Nomenclature.
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.
“Real-time” means that data from multiple devices can be retrieved, time correlated, and displayed or
processed in fractions of a second. “Plug-and-play” means that all the clinician has to do is make the
connection — the systems automatically detect, configure, and communicate without any other human
interaction.
“Efficient exchange of medical device data” means that information that is captured at the point-of-care
(e.g., patient vital signs data) can be archived, retrieved, and processed by many different types of
applications without extensive software and equipment support, and without needless loss of information.
The standards focus on acute care devices, such as patient monitors, ventilators, infusion pumps, ECG
devices, etc, and personal health devices and systems. They comprise a family of standards that can be
layered together to provide connectivity optimized for the specific devices being interfaced.
IEEE Std 11073-10101 was originally published in 2004 in conjunction with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO). In 2015, IEEE published an amendment that expanded the nomenclature and
definitions covered in the standard to reflect the continued innovation in medical device and system design.
This 2019 revision integrates the amendment into the original text and further updates and expands the
nomenclature and definitions.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes
nationaux de normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales
est en général confiée aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une
étude a le droit de faire partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales,
gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux.
L'ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission électrotechnique internationale (IEC) en ce qui
concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les procédures utilisées pour élaborer le présent document et celles destinées à sa mise à jour sont
décrites dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 1. Il convient, en particulier de prendre note des
différents critères d'approbation requis pour les différents types de documents ISO (voir
www.iso.org/directives).
Les documents normatifs de l’IEEE sont développés au sein des sociétés de l’IEEE et des Comités de
Coordination des Normes du Conseil des Normes de l’Association des normes IEEE (IEEE-SA). L’IEEE
élabore ses normes par le biais d’un processus d'élaboration du consensus approuvé par l’American
National Standards Institute, qui rassemble des volontaires représentant divers points de vue et
divers intérêts pour parvenir au produit final. Les volontaires ne sont pas nécessairement des
membres de l’Institut et aucune compensation ne leur est attribuée. Bien que l’IEEE administre le
processus et établisse des règles pour favoriser l’équité au cours du processus d'élaboration du
consensus, l’IEEE n’évalue pas, ne soumet pas à essai ou ne vérifie pas de manière indépendante
l’exactitude des informations contenues dans ses normes.
L'attention est attirée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet
de droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour
responsable de ne pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence. Les détails

Résumé : dans le contexte de l’ensemble de normes ISO/IEEE 11073 relatives aux
dispositifs médicaux sur les sites des soins et à la communication entre dispositifs de
santé personnels, la présente norme fournit la nomenclature qui prend en charge à la
fois le modèle d’information du domaine et les composantes de modèle de service de la
famille de normes, ainsi que le contenu sémantique échangé entre les dispositifs
médicaux. La nomenclature est spécialisée dans la représentation des informations
relatives aux signes vitaux d’un patient et l’informatique des dispositifs médicaux, avec
des domaines majeurs tels que des concepts pour l’électrocardiographe (ECG),
l’hémodynamique, la respiration, le gaz sanguin, l’urine, les mesurages liés aux fluides et
la neurologie, ainsi que des unités de mesure spécialisées, les événements de dispositifs
généraux, les alarmes et les sites corporels. La norme définit à la fois l’architecture et les
principaux composants de la nomenclature, ainsi que des définitions étendues pour
chaque domaine conceptuel.

Notes importantes et rejets de responsabilité concernant les documents
normatifs de l’IEEE
Les documents de l’IEEE sont mis à disposition pour utilisation sous réserve de notes
importantes et de rejets de responsabilité légale. Ces notes et rejets de responsabilité, ou
une référence à cette page, apparaissent dans toutes les normes et peuvent être trouvés
sous l’en-tête « Notes importantes et rejets de responsabilité concernant les documents
normatifs de l’IEEE ». Ils peuvent également être obtenus sur demande auprès de l’IEEE
ou visualisés sur le site : http://standards.ieee.org/ipr/disclaimers.html.
Note et rejet de responsabilité concernant l’utilisation des documents
normatifs de l’IEEE
Les documents normatifs de l’IEEE (normes, usages recommandés et guides), à la fois
pour une utilisation pleine et un essai d’utilisation, sont développés au sein des sociétés
de l’IEEE et des Comités de Coordination des Normes du Conseil des Normes de
l’Association des normes IEEE (IEEE-SA). L’IEEE (« l’Institut ») élabore ses normes par
le biais d’un processus de développement de consensus approuvé par l’American
National Standards Institute (« ANSI »), qui rassemble des volontaires représentant
divers points de vue et divers intérêts pour parvenir au produit final. Les normes de
l’IEEE sont des documents élaborés par des groupes de travail scientifiques,
universitaires et techniques (issus du secteur industriel). Les volontaires collaborant
aux groupes de travail de l’IEEE ne sont pas nécessairement des membres de l’Institut et
aucune compensation ne leur est attribuée pour leur participation. Bien que l’IEEE
administre le processus et établisse des règles pour favoriser l’équité au cours du
processus de développement du consensus, l’IEEE n’évalue pas, ne soumet pas à essai ou
ne vérifie pas de manière indépendante l’exactitude des informations ni le bien-fondé de
tous les jugements contenus dans ses normes.
Les normes de l’IEEE ne fournissent ni garantie, ni assurance quant à la sûreté, la
sécurité, la santé ou la protection environnementale, et n’assurent pas de protection
contre les interférences avec d’autres dispositifs ou réseaux ou provenant de ceux-ci. Les
personnes qui mettent en œuvre et celles qui utilisent les documents normatifs de l’IEEE
sont responsables de la détermination appropriée de la sûreté, de la sécurité, des
pratiques environnementales, sanitaires et de protection contre les interférences et de
toutes les lois et réglementations applicables ainsi que de la conformité à celles-ci.
L’IEEE ne garantit ni ne représente l’exactitude ou le contenu des informations
contenues dans ses normes, et décline expressément toute garantie (explicite, implicite
et statutaire) non incluse dans le présent document ou tout autre document en rapport
avec la norme, y compris, sans toutefois s’y limiter, les garanties d’aptitude à la
commercialisation, d’adéquation à un usage particulier, de non-contrefaçon, ainsi que de
qualité, précision, efficacité, actualité ou intégrité des informations. De plus, l’IEEE
renonce à toutes les conditions relatives aux résultats et aux efforts professionnels. Les
documents normatifs de l’IEEE sont fournis « EN L’ÉTAT » et « AVEC TOUS LES
DÉFAUTS ».

ISO/IEEE 11073-10101:2020(F)
L’utilisation d’une norme IEEE est totalement volontaire. L’existence d’une norme IEEE
n’implique pas qu’il n’y ait pas d’autres manières de produire, de soumettre à essai, de
mesurer, d’acheter, de commercialiser ou de fournir d’autres biens et services qui se
rapportent au domaine d’application de la norme IEEE. En outre, le point de vue
exprimé à l’instant où une norme est approuvée et publiée est soumis aux changements
provoqués par les développements dans l’état de la technique et les commentaires reçus
des utilisateurs de la norme.
En publiant ses normes et en les rendant disponibles, l’IEEE ne suggère pas ou ne rend
pas de services professionnels ou autres pour une personne ou une entité quelconque, et
n’entreprend pas non plus l’exécution d’une responsabilité quelconque de toute autre
personne ou entité envers une autre. Il est recommandé à toute personne utilisant un
document normatif de l’IEEE de s’appuyer sur son jugement indépendant en exerçant
une diligence raisonnable dans des circonstances données quelconques ou, selon le cas,
de demander l’avis d’un professionnel compétent pour déterminer la pertinence d’une
norme IEEE donnée.
EN AUCUN CAS L’IEEE NE SAURAIT ÊTRE TENUE POUR RESPONSABLE DE
QUELCONQUES DOMMAGES DIRECTS, INDIRECTS, INCIDENTS, SPÉCIAUX,
EXEMPLAIRES OU CONSÉCUTIFS (Y COMPRIS, SANS TOUTEFOIS S’Y LIMITER : ACHATS
DE MARCHANDISES OU SERVICES DE REMPLACEMENT ; PERTE D’UTILISATION, DE
DONNÉES OU DE BÉNÉFICES ; OU INTERRUPTION D’ACTIVITÉ) CAUSÉS DE QUELQUE
MANIÈRE QUE CE SOIT ET SELON TOUTE THÉORIE DE RESPONSABILITÉ, QUE CE SOIT
DANS LE CONTRAT, RESPONSABILITÉ STRICTE OU DÉLICTUELLE (Y COMPRIS LA
NÉGLIGENCE OU AUTRE), RÉSULTANT DE LA PUBLICATION, DE L’UTILISATION OU DE
LA CONFIANCE DE/EN TOUTE NORME, MÊME EN CAS D’INFORMATION DE LA
POSSIBILITÉ DE TELS DOMMAGES, ET INDÉPENDAMMENT DU FAIT QUE CES
DOMMAGES ÉTAIENT PRÉVISIBLES OU NON.
Traductions
Le processus de développement du consensus de l’IEEE implique l’examen de
documents en anglais uniquement. Si une norme de l’IEEE est traduite, il convient que
seule la version anglaise publiée par l’IEEE soit considérée comme la norme IEEE
approuvée.
Déclarations officielles
Une déclaration, écrite ou orale, qui n’est pas traitée conformément au manuel des
opérations du Conseil des Normes IEEE-SA ne doit pas être considérée ou supposée être
la position officielle de l’IEEE ou de l’un de ses comités et ne doit pas être considérée
comme une position officielle de l’IEEE, ni servir de base à une telle position. Lors de
conférences, de symposiums, de séminaires ou de cours de formation, une personne
présentant des informations sur les normes de l’IEEE doit indiquer clairement qu’il
convient que ses points de vue soient considérés comme les points de vue personnels de
cette personne plutôt que comme la position officielle de l’IEEE.

Introduction
Cette introduction ne fait pas partie de la norme IEEE 11073-10101-2019, Informatique
de santé — Communication entre dispositifs médicaux sur le site des soins —
Nomenclature.
Les normes ISO/IEEE 11073 permettent des communications entre des dispositifs
médicaux et des systèmes informatiques externes. Elles permettent une capture
automatique et détaillée de données électroniques concernant les informations relatives
aux signes vitaux du patient et les données opérationnelles du dispositif. Les objectifs
principaux consistent à :
 fournir une interopérabilité prête à l’emploi en temps réel aux dispositifs
médicaux connectés au patient ;
 faciliter l’échange efficace de signes vitaux et de données de dispositifs médicaux,
acquis sur le site des soins, dans tous les environnements de soins de santé.
« En temps réel » signifie que les données de plusieurs dispositifs peuvent être
récupérées, corrélées dans le temps et affichées ou traitées en une fraction de seconde.
« Prêt à l’emploi » signifie que le clinicien se contente de connecter le dispositif. Les
systèmes effectuent automatiquement les opérations de détection, de configuration et
de communication sans aucune autre interaction humaine.
« Échange efficace de données relatives aux dispositifs médicaux » signifie que les
informations saisies sur le site des soins (par exemple données relatives aux signes
vitaux des patients) peuvent être archivées, récupérées et traitées par différents types
d’applications sans support logiciel et matériel majeur et en évitant toute perte inutile
d’informations. Les normes se focalisent sur les dispositifs de soins actifs, tels que les
moniteurs patient, les ventilateurs, les pompes à perfusion, les ECG, etc., ainsi que les
dispositifs et systèmes personnels de santé. Elles comprennent une famille de normes
qui peuvent être superposées pour fournir une connectivité optimisée pour les
dispositifs spécifiques interfacés.
L’IEEE 11073-10101 a été publié, à l’origine, en 2004 en collaboration avec
l’Organisation internationale de normalisation (ISO). En 2015, l’IEEE a publié un
amendement qui a élargi la nomenclature et les définitions couvertes par la norme afin
de refléter l’innovation continue dans la conception des dispositifs et systèmes
médicaux. Cette révision de 2019 intègre l’amendement dans le texte d’origine et met à
jour et élargit la nomenclature et les définitions.

Foreword
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 documents 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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the
ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World
Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/
iso/foreword.html.
ISO/IEEE 11073-10101 was prepared by the IEEE 11073 Standards Committee of the IEEE
Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (as IEEE Std 11073-10101-2019) and drafted in
accordance with its editorial rules. It was adopted, under the “fast-track procedure” defined in the Partner
Standards Development Organization cooperation agreement between ISO and IEEE, by Technical
Committee ISO/TC 215, Health informatics.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEEE 11073-10101:2004), which has been
technically revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO/IEEE 11073-10101:2004/Amd 1:2017.

Abstract: Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for point-of-care (POC)
and personal health devices (PHD) medical device communication (MDC), this standard provides
the nomenclature that supports both the domain information model and service model
components of the standards family, as well as the semantic content exchanged with medical
devices. The nomenclature is specialized for patient vital signs information representation and
medical device informatics, with major areas including concepts for electrocardiograph (ECG),
haemodynamics, respiration, blood gas, urine, fluid-related metrics, and neurology, as well as
specialized units of measurement, general device events, alarms, and body sites. The standard
defines both the architecture and major components of the nomenclature, along with extensive
definitions for each conceptual area.
Keywords: codes, IEEE 11073-10101™, IHE PCD-01, independent living, information model,
medical device communication, nomenclature, ontology, patient, personal health devices, PHD,

notices and disclaimers, or a reference to this page, appear in all standards and may be found under the
heading “Important Notices and Disclaimers Concerning IEEE Standards Documents.” They can also be
obtained on request from IEEE or viewed at http://standards.ieee.org/ipr/disclaimers.html.
Notice and Disclaimer of Liability Concerning the Use of IEEE Standards
Documents
IEEE Standards documents (standards, recommended practices, and guides), both full-use and trial-use, are
developed within IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards
Association (“IEEE SA”) Standards Board. IEEE (“the Institute”) develops its standards through a
consensus development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute (“ANSI”), which
brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. IEEE
Standards are documents developed through scientific, academic, and industry-based technical working
groups. Volunteers in IEEE working groups are not necessarily members of the Institute and participate
without compensation from IEEE. While IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote
fairness in the consensus development process, IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the
accuracy of any of the information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards.
IEEE Standards do not guarantee or ensure safety, security, health, or environmental protection, or ensure
against interference with or from other devices or networks. 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.
IEEE does not warrant or represent the accuracy or content of the material contained in its standards, and
expressly disclaims all warranties (express, implied and statutory) not included in this or any other
document relating to the standard, including, but not limited to, the warranties of: merchantability; fitness
for a particular purpose; non-infringement; and quality, accuracy, effectiveness, currency, or completeness
of material. In addition, IEEE disclaims any and all conditions relating to: results; and workmanlike effort.
IEEE standards documents are supplied “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.”
Use of an IEEE standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE standard does not imply that there
are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related
to the scope of the IEEE standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved
and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and comments
received from users of the standard.
In publishing and making its standards available, IEEE is not suggesting or rendering professional or other
services for, or on behalf of, any person or entity nor is IEEE undertaking to perform any duty owed by any
other person or entity to another. Any person utilizing any IEEE Standards document, should rely upon his
or her own independent judgment in the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances or, as
appropriate, seek the advice of a competent professional in determining the appropriateness of a given
IEEE standard.
IN NO EVENT SHALL IEEE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS;
OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY,
WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR
OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE PUBLICATION, USE OF, OR RELIANCE
UPON ANY STANDARD, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE AND

Translations
The IEEE consensus development process involves the review of documents in English only. In the event
that an IEEE standard is translated, only the English version published by IEEE should be considered the
approved IEEE standard.
Official statements
A statement, written or oral, that is not processed in accordance with the IEEE SA Standards Board
Operations Manual shall not be considered or inferred to be the official position of IEEE or any of its
committees and shall not be considered to be, or be relied upon as, a formal position of IEEE. At lectures,
symposia, seminars, or educational courses, an individual presenting information on IEEE standards shall
make it clear that his or her views should be considered the personal views of that individual rather than the
formal position of IEEE.
Comments on standards
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards documents are welcome from any interested party, regardless of
membership affiliation with IEEE. However, IEEE does not provide consulting information or advice
pertaining to IEEE Standards documents. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a
proposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments. Since IEEE standards represent a
consensus of concerned interests, it is important that any responses to comments and questions also receive
the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its societies and
Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to comments or questions
except in those cases where the matter has previously been addressed. For the same reason, IEEE does not
respond to interpretation requests. Any person who would like to participate in revisions to an IEEE
standard is welcome to join the relevant IEEE working group.
Comments on standards should be submitted to the following address:
Secretary, IEEE SA Standards Board
445 Hoes Lane
Piscataway, NJ 08854 USA
Laws and regulations
Users of IEEE Standards documents should consult all applicable laws and regulations. Compliance with
the provisions of any IEEE Standards document does not imply compliance to any applicable regulatory
requirements. Implementers of the standard are responsible for observing or referring to the applicable
regulatory requirements. IEEE does not, by the publication of its standards, intend to urge action that is not
in compliance with applicable laws, and these documents may not be construed as doing so.
Copyrights
IEEE draft and approved standards are copyrighted by IEEE under U.S. and international copyright laws.
They are made available by IEEE and are adopted for a wide variety of both public and private uses. These
include both use, by reference, in laws and regulations, and use in private self-regulation, standardization,
and the promotion of engineering practices and methods. By making these documents available for use and
adoption by public authorities and private users, IEEE does not waive any rights in copyright to the
documents.

Photocopies
Subject to payment of the appropriate fee, IEEE will grant users a limited, non-exclusive license to
photocopy portions of any individual standard for company or organizational internal use or individual,
non-commercial use only. To arrange for payment of licensing fees, please contact Copyright Clearance
Center, Customer Service, 222 Rosewood Drive, Danvers, MA 01923 USA; +1 978 750 8400. Permission
to photocopy portions of any individual standard for educational classroom use can also be obtained
through the Copyright Clearance Center.
Updating of IEEE Standards documents
Users of IEEE Standards documents should be aware that these documents may be superseded at any time
by the issuance of new editions or may be amended from time to time through the issuance of amendments,
corrigenda, or errata. A current IEEE document at any point in time consists of the current edition of the
document together with any amendments, corrigenda, or errata then in effect.
Every IEEE standard is subjected to review at least every ten years. When a document is more than ten
years old and has not undergone a revision process, it is reasonable to conclude that its contents, although
still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check to
determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE standard.
In order to determine whether a given document is the current edition and whether it has been amended
through the issuance of amendments, corrigenda, or errata, visit the IEEE Xplore at
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/ or contact IEEE at the address listed previously. For more information about the
IEEE SA or IEEE’s standards development process, visit the IEEE SA Website at http://standards.ieee.org.
Errata
Errata, if any, for all IEEE standards can be accessed on the IEEE SA Website at the following URL:
http://standards.ieee.org/findstds/errata/index.html. Users are encouraged to check this URL for errata
periodically.
Patents
Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require use of subject matter
covered by patent 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 http://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.

Introduction
This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 11073-10101-2019, Health informatics—Point-of-Care Medical Device
Communication—Nomenclature.
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.
“Real-time” means that data from multiple devices can be retrieved, time correlated, and displayed or
processed in fractions of a second. “Plug-and-play” means that all the clinician has to do is make the
connection — the systems automatically detect, configure, and communicate without any other human
interaction.
“Efficient exchange of medical device data” means that information that is captured at the point-of-care
(e.g., patient vital signs data) can be archived, retrieved, and processed by many different types of
applications without extensive software and equipment support, and without needless loss of information.
The standards focus on acute care devices, such as patient monitors, ventilators, infusion pumps, ECG
devices, etc, and personal health devices and systems. They comprise a family of standards that can be
layered together to provide connectivity optimized for the specific devices being interfaced.
IEEE Std 11073-10101 was originally published in 2004 in conjunction with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO). In 2015, IEEE published an amendment that expanded the nomenclature and
definitions covered in the standard to reflect the continued innovation in medical device and system design.
This 2019 revision integrates the amendment into the original text and further updates and expands the
nomenclature and definitions.
