Proposed Draft IEEE Standard - Medical Device Communications - Medical Device Application Profiles (MDAP) - Base Standard

Abstract

This project is limited to service and protocol definitions that are identified in IEEE 1073.2, "Framework and Overview" and are used by related medical device application profile standards, e.g. P1073.2n. The definitions augment and in some cases optimize related industry standards, chiefly ISO Systems Management standards, particularly with respect to cost-performance improvements for real-time medical data communication.

Scope

The scope of this standard is upper-layer (i.e. ISO OSI Application, Presentation, and Session) services and protocols for information exchange under IEEE 1073 Standards for Medical Device Communications (MDC). This standard is the Base Standard of the Medical Device Application Profiles (MDAP).

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to define MDC upper layer application, or ISO “A-type” profiles for interchange of data which are defined by the Medical Device Data Language (MDDL) format, or ISO “F-type” profiles (IEEE 1073.1-series).
