IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the
IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards through a consensus develop-
ment process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which brings together volunteers representing varied
viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members of the Institute and serve with-
out compensation. While the IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus devel-
opment process, the IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained
in its standards.
Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The IEEE disclaims liability for any personal injury, property or other dam-
age, of any nature whatsoever, whether special, indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting
from the publication, use of, or reliance upon this, or any other IEEE Standard document.
The IEEE does not warrant or represent the accuracy or content of the material contained herein, and expressly disclaims
any express or implied warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a specific purpose, or that
the use of the material contained herein is free from patent infringement. IEEE Standards documents are supplied “AS IS.”
The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market,
or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the
time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and
comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least every five years for revi-
sion or reaffirmation. When a document is more than five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude
that its contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check
to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.
In publishing and making this document available, the IEEE is not suggesting or rendering professional or other services
for, or on behalf of, any person or entity. Nor is the IEEE undertaking to perform any duty owed by any other person or

petent professional in determining the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances.
Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they relate to specific
applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare
appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of concerned interests, it is important to ensure that any
interpretation has also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its soci-
eties and Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to interpretation requests except in
those cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration. At lectures, symposia, seminars, or educational
courses, an individual presenting information on IEEE standards shall make it clear that his or her views should be considered
the personal views of that individual rather than the formal position, explanation, or interpretation of the IEEE.
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership affiliation with
IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together with appropriate
supporting comments. Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:

ISO Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has
been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates
closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical
standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for
voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the member bodies
casting a vote.
A pilot project between ISO and the IEEE has been formed to develop and maintain a group of ISO/IEEE
standards in the field of medical devices as approved by Council resolution 43/2000. Under this pilot
project, IEEE is responsible for the development and maintenance of these standards with participation and
input from ISO member bodies.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the
subject of patent rights. Neither ISO nor the IEEE shall be held responsible for identifying any or all such
patent rights.
ISO/IEEE 11073-30300:2004(E) was prepared by IEEE 1073 Committee of the IEEE Engineering in
Medicine and Biology Society.

IEEE Introduction
This introduction is not part of ISO/IEEE 11073-30300:2004(E), Health informatics — Point-of-care medical device
communication — Part 30300: Transport profile — Infrared wireless.
ISO/IEEE 11073 standards enable communication between medical devices and external computer systems.
They provide automatic and detailed electronic data capture of patient vital signs information and device
operational data. The primary goals are to:
— Provide real-time plug-and-play interoperability for patient-connected medical devices
— Facilitate the efficient exchange of vital signs and medical device data, acquired at the point-of-care,
in all health care environments
“Real-time” means that data from multiple devices can be retrieved, time correlated, and displayed or
processed in fractions of a second. “Plug-and-play” means that all the clinician has to do is make the
connection — the systems automatically detect, configure, and communicate without any other human
interaction.
“Efficient exchange of medical device data” means that information that is captured at the point-of-care
(e.g., patient vital signs data) can be archived, retrieved, and processed by many different types of
applications without extensive software and equipment support, and without needless loss of information.
The standards are especially targeted at acute and continuing care devices, such as patient monitors,
ventilators, infusion pumps, ECG devices, etc. They comprise a family of standards that can be layered
together to provide connectivity optimized for the specific devices being interfaced.

— Annex H discusses lower layer compatibility with other medical communication standards.
— Annex I provides bibliographical references.
1.1 Scope
The scope of this standard is to define an IrDA-based transport profile for medical device communication
that uses short-range infrared, as a companion standard to ISO/IEEE 11073-30200, which specifies a cable-
connected physical layer. This standard also supports use cases consistent with industry practice for
handheld personal digital assistants (PDAs) and network APs that support IrDA-infrared communication.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to provide connection-oriented communication services and protocols con-
sistent with IrDA specifications, using short-range infrared as the physical layer. This standard extends and
complements ISO/IEEE 11073-30200, which specifies a cable-connected physical layer. The use of IrDA-
infrared is appropriate for mobile and portable point-of-care (POC) clinical lab instruments (e.g., glucose
meters) and other medical devices that require intermittent point-and-shoot connectivity to a data repository.
This standard utilizes the work embodied in the Connectivity Industry Consortium (CIC) and
NCCLS POCT1 device and AP interface specification (Appendix A), which is part of an overall effort to
standardize communication for POC medical devices using a single transport protocol (IrDA Tiny Transport
Protocol [TinyTP]) running over two physical layers: cable-connected and infrared.
1.3 Standards compatibility
This standard is one part of the family of ISO/IEEE 11073 standards. It is a companion standard to ISO/
IEEE 11073-30200. Both standards describe connection-oriented communications services and protocols
consistent with standards of the IrDA.
Like ISO/IEEE 11073-30200, this standard is designed to be compatible with the ISO/IEEE 11073 upper
layer standards such as the ISO/IEEE 11073-10000 and ISO/IEEE 11073-20000 families of standards. It is
also fully compatible with (and is largely based on) Appendix A of the NCCLS POCT1 and is capable of
supporting other upper layer medical device communication standards, such as the NCCLS POCT1 device
messaging layer for POC diagnostic devices.
Finally, this standard specifies and provides recommendations for how a network AP acts as a relay between
the IrDA TinyTP connection to the medical device and a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) connection to a remote host on the network. This is an essential first step toward deploying the
ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards on the widely used TCP/IP and other standard Internet protocols.
1.4 Audience
The primary users of this standard are technical personnel who are creating or interfacing to a medical
device communications system. Familiarity with the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards is recommended.
Familiarity with communications and networking technologies is also recommended.
This standard provides a normative specification regarding network APs for NCCLS POCT1 devices in Annex F and informative
guidance regarding network APs for ISO/IEEE 11073 devices. A future ISO/IEEE 11073 internetworking standard may include other
profiles based on User Datagram Protocol/Internet Protocol (UDP/IP) as well as TCP/IP.

3. Definitions, acronyms, and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
™
For the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply. IEEE 100 , The Authoritative
Dictionary of IEEE Standards Terms and Definitions, Seventh Edition [B4], should be referenced for terms
not defined in this clause.
3.1.1 10BASE-T: ISO/IEC 8802-3 and IEEE Std 802.3 physical layer specification for Ethernet over two
pairs of unshielded twisted pair (UTP) media at 10 Mbit/s.
3.1.2 access point (AP): A subsystem that consolidates data from one or more point-of-care (POC) devices
onto another communication link.
NOTE—Examples of APs include a multiport concentrator or a dedicated single-port AP, typically connected to a local
area network (LAN), or an AP that is part of a multifunctional device such as a patient monitor or personal computer
(PC).
3.1.3 access point (AP) interface: The interface (principally input) to an AP or concentrator.
NOTE—This term is used extensively in the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards Point- of-Care
Connectivity; Approved Standard (NCCLS POCT1) and is equivalent to an ISO/IEEE 11073 bedside communications
controller (BCC).
3.1.4 baud (Bd): A unit of signaling speed, expressed as the number of times per second the signal can
change the electrical state of the transmission line or other medium.
NOTE—Depending on the encoding strategies, a signal event may represent a single bit, more, or less, than one bit.
3.1.5 bedside communications controller (BCC): A communications controller, typically located at a
patient bedside, that serves to interface between one or more medical devices associated with a single
patient. The BCC may be embedded into local display, monitoring, or control equipment. Alternatively, it
may be part of a communications router to a remote hospital host computer system.

PART 30300: TRANSPORT PROFILE — INFRARED WIRELESS ISO/IEEE 11073-30300:2004(E)
3.1.6 beginning of frame (BOF): An octet specified by Infrared Link Access Protocol (IrLAP) that marks
the beginning of a frame.
3.1.7 Category-5 (CAT-5) balanced cable: The designation of 100 Ω unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables
and associated connecting hardware whose transmission characteristics are specified up to 100 MHz.
(ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A)
3.1.8 common access point (AP): An AP that can service ISO/IEEE 11073, National Committee for Clini-
cal Laboratory Standards Point-of-Care Connectivity; Approved Standard (NCCLS POCT1), and handheld
personal digital assistant (PDA) devices.
3.1.9 Connectivity Industry Consortium (CIC): A consortium, no longer in existence, that was organized
to specify, recommend, and develop communication protocols for point-of-care (POC) diagnostic medical
devices.
3.1.10 cyclic redundancy check (CRC): The result of a calculation carried out on the octets within an
Infrared Link Access Protocol (IrLAP) frame; it is also called a frame check sequence (FCS). The CRC is
appended to the transmitted frame. At the receiver, the calculation creating the CRC may be repeated, and
the result compared to that encoded in the signal.
3.1.11 data manager (DM): Typically, a network server that performs such functions as point-of-care
(POC) data storage and forwarding, quality assurance and quality control, and other POC instrument and
data management functions.
3.1.12 device communications controller (DCC): A communications interface associated with a medical
device. A DCC may support one or more physically distinct devices acting as a single network communica-
tions unit. Its purpose is to provide a point-to-point communication link to a bedside communications
controller (BCC).
3.1.13 device manager: In the context of this standard, a network server that gathers, processes, stores, and
forwards data from ISO/IEEE 11073 instruments and devices, typically using one or more networked access
points (APs).
NOTE—A device manager is not a required component for an ISO/IEEE 11073 compatible infrastructure.
3.1.14 docking station: A mechanical and electrical interface that supports the use of a point-of-care (POC)
device, typically employing legacy mechanical interfaces, connectors, protocols, and power delivery
methods.
3.1.15 electromagnetic compatibility (EM
