DIN EN ISO 11073-10419:2016-10

The ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards enables the data transfer between medical devices and computer systems. It allows for automated, detailed recording of personal vital data and functional parameters by using monitoring and therapy devices - for example, in an intensive care unit or in the operating theatre, but also in the domestic or private environment. The primary objectives are: - provision of "plug-and-play" functionality and interoperability of patient-connected or personal medical devices for real-time applications. - simplification of the efficient exchange of measured vital data, relevant contextual information, and operational data of the medical devices used. "Real-time" means that data from several different medical devices, if appropriate, are recorded exactly on time and can be plotted or processed in fractions of seconds. "Plug-and-play" means that users only have to establish the communication link to a device. Its recognition, configuration of communication parameters and application, if applicable, and finally, the beginning of the data transfer are automatically achieved by the system, that means, without human intervention. Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, a normative definition of communication between personal telehealth insulin pump devices and compute engines (such as cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, set top boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability, is established in this standard. Appropriate portions of existing standards including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology, information models, application profile standards, and transport standards are leveraged. The use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors in telehealth environments restricting optionality in base frameworks in favor of interoperability are specified. A common core of communication functionality for personal telehealth insulin pump devices is defined. In the context of personal health devices, an insulin pump is a medical device used for the administration of insulin in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, also known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy. This standard provides the data modeling according to the ISO/IEEE 11073-20601 standard, and does not specify the measurement method. This standard addresses a need for an openly defined, independent standard for controlling information exchange to and from personal health devices (agents) and managers (such as cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, and set top boxes). Interoperability is key to growing the potential market for these devices and to enabling people to be better informed participants in the management of their health.
