Introduction
This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 11073-10417™-2023, Health Informatics—Device Interoperability—
Part 10417: Personal Health Device Communication—Device Specialization—Glucose Meter.
ISO/IEEE 11073 standards enable communication between medical devices and external computer
systems. This document uses the optimized framework created in ISO/IEEE 11073-20601 and
describes a specific, interoperable communication approach for glucose meters. These standards align
with and draw on the existing clinically focused standards to provide support for communication of
data from clinical or personal health devices.

Part 10417: Personal Health Device
Communication—Device Specialization—
Glucose Meter
1. Overview
1.1 Scope
Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, this standard
establishes a normative definition of communication between personal telehealth glucose meter devices
and compute engines (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, and set-top
boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability. It leverages appropriate portions of
existing standards, including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology, information models, application profile
standards, and transport standards. It specifies the use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors in
telehealth environments restricting optionality in base frameworks in favor of interoperability. This
standard defines a common core of communication functionality for personal telehealth glucose meters.
1.2 Purpose
This standard addresses the need for an openly defined, independent standard that support information
exchange to and from personal health devices and compute engines (e.g., cell phones, personal
computers, personal health appliances, and set-top boxes). Interoperability is key to growing the
potential market for these devices and enabling people to be better informed participants in the
management of their health.
1.3 Context
See ISO/IEEE 11073-20601 for an overview of the environment within which this standard is written.
This standard defines the device specialization for the insulin pump, being a specific agent type, and
provides a description of the device concepts, its capabilities, and its implementation according to this
standard.
This standard is based on ISO/IEEE 11073-20601 which in turn draws information from both
ISO/IEEE 11073-10201 [B7] and ISO/IEEE 11073-20101 [B8]. The medical device encoding rules
(MDERs) used within this standard are fully described in ISO/IEEE 11073-20601.

Device Specialization—Glucose Meter
The object classes and attributes in this standard are identified by nomenclature codes. Each code
consists of a reference identifier (RefID) string and an integer code value. By using a consistent
nomenclature, interoperability is enhanced as all implementations maintain the same semantic meaning
for the numeric codes. This standard leverages the existing nomenclature codes in ISO/IEEE 11073-
10101. Between this standard, ISO/IEEE 11073-10101, ISO/IEEE 11073-20601, and other IEEE Std
11073-104zz, all required nomenclature codes for implementation are documented. New codes may be
defined in newer versions/ revisions of each of these documents. In the case of a conflict, where one
term code has been assigned to two separate semantic concepts with different RefIDs, in general the
oldest definition that is in actual use should take precedence. The same policy applies when one RefID
has two different code values assigned in different specifications. The resolution of such conflicts will
be determined through joint action by the responsible working groups and other stakeholders, and any
corrective action will be published as corrigenda.
NOTE—In this standard, IEEE Std 11073-104zz is used to refer to the collection of device specialization standards
that utilize ISO/IEEE 11073-20601, where zz can be any number from 01 to 99, inclusive.
