IEEE Draft Standard for Medical Device Communications - Medical Device Data Language (MDDL) Medical Device Specializations - Pulse Oximeter

Abstract

This standard establishes a model for the implementation of the Pulse Oximeter Virtual Medical Device. It establishes a Design Model and specifies how this Model should be implemented. It also provides guidance concerning bandwidth requirements as well as how to specify conformance with this standard.

Scope

The scope of this MDDL subset is the set of definitions that are normative specializations of the Virtual Medical Device abstraction. This standard defines the Virtual Medical abstraction for pulse oximeters.

Purpose

The purpose of this MDDL subset is to facilitate normative definition among major device classes in a way that maximizes the utility of the specializations used, and minimizes the interactions with otherre device classes. The project will define the base object for pulse oximeters. The development of base objects allows for standard applications to be developed for healthcare.
