IEEE Draft Standard for Health informatics -- Point-of-care medical device communication -- Device specialization - ECG monitoring

Abstract

This standard establishes a model for the implementation of the ECG 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 abstraction. This standard defines the Virtual Medical Device abstractions for ECG's.

Purpose

The purpose of this MDDL subset is to facilitate normative definition among major medical deviceclasses in a way that maximizes the specializations used, and minimizes the interactions with other device classes. This project will define the base object for ECG's. The users of the standard will be medical device manufacturers and hospital software application vendors.
