Health informatics - Personal health device communication - Part 10406: Device specialization - Basic electrocardiograph (ECG) (1- to 3-lead ECG) (ISO/IEEE 11073-10406:2012)

Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, this standard establishes a normative definition of the communication between personal basic electrocardiograph (ECG) devices and managers (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 and IEEE Std 11073-20601 information models. 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 basic ECG (1- to 3-lead ECG) devices. Monitoring ECG devices are distinguished from diagnostic ECG equipment with respect to including support for wearable ECG devices, limiting the number of leads supported by the equipment to three, and not requiring the capability of annotating or analyzing the detected electrical activity to determine known cardiac phenomena. This standard is consistent with the base framework and allows multifunction implementations by following multiple device specializations (e.g., ECG and respiration rate).

Informatique de santé - Communication entre dispositifs de santé personnels - Partie 10406: Spécialisation des dispositifs - Électrocardiographe de base (ECG) (ECG 1 à 3) (ISO/IEEE 11073-10406:2012)

Dans le contexte de la famille de normes ISO/IEEE 11073 relative à la communication entre dispositifs, l'ISO/IEEE 10073-10406:2012 établit une définition normative de la communication entre les électrocardiographes (ECG) personnels de base et les gestionnaires (par exemple, téléphones cellulaires, ordinateurs personnels, appareils de santé personnels et boîtiers décodeurs) de manière à permettre une interopérabilité du type prêt à l'emploi.
Elle s'appuie sur les sections appropriées de normes existantes, y compris la terminologie de l'ISO/IEEE 11073 et les modèles d'informations de l'IEEE 11073-20601. Elle spécifie l'utilisation de codes de terme, de formats et de comportements spécifiques dans les environnements de télésanté, réduisant l'optionalité des cadres de base au profit de l'interopérabilité. L'ISO/IEEE 10073‑10406:2012 définit un tronc commun de fonctionnalités de communication pour les dispositifs personnels de télésanté ECG de base (ECG 1 à 3). Les dispositifs ECG de surveillance se distinguent des équipements ECG de diagnostic en ce qu'ils comportent un support pour dispositifs ECG portables, ce qui limite le nombre de fils pris en charge par l'équipement à trois, et qu'ils n'ont pas besoin que l'activité électrique détectée soit annotée ou analysée pour déterminer les phénomènes cardiaques connus.
L'ISO/IEEE 10073‑10406:2012 est conforme au cadre de base et permet de procéder à une mise en ?uvre multifonction en suivant les multiples spécialisations de dispositif (par exemple, ECG et rythme respiratoire).

Zdravstvena informatika - Komunikacija osebnih medicinskih naprav - 10406. del: Specialne naprave - Osnovni elektrokardiograf (EKG) (od 1- do 3-odvodni EKG) (ISO/IEEE 11073-10406:2012)

Ta standard v okviru skupine standardov za komunikacijo naprav ISO/IEEE 11073 določa normativno opredelitev komunikacije med osebnimi osnovnimi elektrokardiografi (EKG) in upravljalnimi napravami (npr. mobilnimi telefoni, osebnimi računalniki, osebnimi medicinskimi napravami, digitalnimi sprejemniki) na način, ki omogoča interoperabilnost Plug and Play (PnP, »vstavi in poženi«). Standard temelji na ustreznih delih obstoječih standardov, vključno s terminologijo iz standarda ISO/IEEE 11073 in z informacijskimi modeli iz standarda IEEE 11073-20601.  Določa uporabo posebnih kod izrazov, formatov in vedenj v telemedicinskih okoljih ter v korist interoperabilnosti omejuje opcionalnost osnovnih okvirov. Ta standard določa skupno jedro komunikacijske funkcionalnosti za osebne telemedicinske naprave EKG (z 1 do 3 odvodi). Nadzorne naprave EKG se razlikujejo od diagnostične opreme EKG, pri čemer se vključi podpora za nosljive naprave EKG, omeji število odvodov, ki jih naprava podpira, na tri in se ne zahteva zmogljivosti beleženja ali analiziranja zaznanega električnega delovanja za določitev znanih načinov delovanja srca. Ta standard je v skladu z osnovnim okvirom in omogoča večfunkcijsko delovanje s specializacijami za več naprav (npr. EKG in hitrost dihanja).

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.
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 development 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 without compensation. While the IEEE
administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, the
IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information or the soundness
of any judgments contained in its standards.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require the use of subject matter
covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the existence or
validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. ISO/IEEE is not responsible for identifying essential
patents or patent claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or
scope of patents or patent claims or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in
connection with submission of a Letter of Assurance or a Patent Statement and Licensing Declaration Form, if
any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory. Users of this standard are expressly
advised that determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is
entirely their own responsibility. Further information may be obtained from ISO or the IEEE Standards
Association.
ISO/IEEE 11073-10406 was prepared by the IEEE 11073 Standards Comittee of the IEEE Engineering in
Medicine and Biology Society (as IEEE Std 11073-10406-2011). It was adopted by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 215, Health informatics, in parallel with its approval by the ISO member bodies, under the “fast-track
procedure” defined in the Partner Standards Development Organization cooperation agreement between ISO
and IEEE. IEEE is responsible for the maintenance of this document with participation and input from ISO
member bodies.

Introduction
This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 11073-10406-2011, Health informatics—Personal health device

Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, this standard
establishes a normative definition of the communication between personal basic electrocardiograph (ECG)
devices and managers (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, and set top boxes)

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 the communication between personal basic electrocardiograph (ECG)
devices and managers (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 and IEEE Std 11073-20601 information models. 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 basic ECG (1- to 3-lead ECG) devices. Monitoring
ECG devices are distinguished from diagnostic ECG equipment with respect to including support for
wearable ECG devices, limiting the number of leads supported by the equipment to three, and not requiring
the capability of annotating or analyzing the detected electrical activity to determine known cardiac
phenomena. This standard is consistent with the base framework and allows multifunction implementations
by following multiple device specializations (e.g., ECG and respiration rate).
1.2 Purpose
This standard addresses a need for an openly defined, independent standard for controlling information
exchange to and from personal health devices and managers (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.
