Health informatics - Point-of-care medical device communication - Part 30200: Transport profile - Cable connected (ISO/IEEE 11073-30200:2004)
The scope of this standard is an IrDA-based, cable-connected local area network (LAN) for the interconnection
of computers and medical devices. This standard is suitable for new device designs, but is particularly
targeted to modifications of legacy devices.
The term “legacy devices” refers to equipment that is
— Already in use in clinical facilities
— In active production at the facilities of medical device manufacturers, or
— Beyond the initial stages of engineering development
In each of these cases, the degree of effort to add a standardized communications capability might normally
be prohibitive, unless special care is taken in developing a suitable standard.

L'ISO/IEEE 11073-30200:2004 est un réseau local (LAN) connecté par câble et basé sur le protocole IrDa pour l'interconnexion d'ordinateurs et de dispositifs médicaux. La présente norme est adaptée aux nouvelles conceptions de dispositifs, mais cible en particulier les modifications apportées aux dispositifs existants.
L'expression «dispositifs existants» désigne les équipements
déjà utilisés dans les sites cliniques;
en production active dans les sites de fabrication de dispositifs médicaux, ou
ayant dépassé les étapes initiales de développement technique.
Zdravstvena informatika – Komunikacija medicinskih naprav na mestu oskrbe – 30200. del: Transportni profil – Kabelsko priključen (ISO/IEEE 11073-30200:2004)
Področje uporabe tega standarda je kabelsko priključeno lokalno omrežje (LAN) na osnovi IrDA za medomrežno povezovanje računalnikov in medicinskih naprav. Ta standard je primeren za nove modele naprav, še posebej pa je namenjen spremembam starejših naprav.
Izraz »starejše naprave« se nanaša na opremo, ki
– se že uporablja v kliničnih objektih,
– je v aktivni proizvodnji v obratih proizvajalcev medicinskih naprav ali
– ni več v začetnih fazah inženirskega razvoja.
V vseh naštetih primerih bi bilo običajno zelo težko dodati standardizirane komunikacijske zmogljivosti, če ne bi posebej pazljivo razvili ustreznega standarda.

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
entity to another. Any person utilizing this, and any other IEEE Standards document, should rely upon the advice of a com-
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 11073-30200:2004(E) was prepared by IEEE 1073 Committee of the IEEE Engineering in

IEEE Introduction
This introduction is not part of ISO/IEEE 11073-30200:2004(E), Health informatics — Point-of-care medical device
communication — Part 30200: Transport profile — Cable connected.
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 pro-
cessed 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.
ISO/IEEE 11073-30200:2004(E) defines a communications transport profile. This profile is for a cable-con-
nected local area network (LAN) for the interconnection of computers and medical devices. This standard is
suitable for new device designs, but is particularly targeted to modifications of legacy devices.
The term “legacy devices” refers to equipment that is
— Already in use in clinical facilities
— In active production at the facilities of medical device manufacturers, or
— Beyond the initial stages of engineering development
Specifically, this standard describes connection-oriented communications services and protocols consistent
with standards of the Infrared Data Association (IrDA), adapted as appropriate for ISO/IEEE 11073 applica-
tions and optimized for use in patient-connected bedside medical devices.
ISO/IEEE 11073-30200:2004(E) is one part of the family of ISO/IEEE 11073 standards. It is compatible
with the upper layer ISO/IEEE 11073 standards.
The primary users of this standard are technical personnel who are creating or interfacing with 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 is intended to satisfy the following objectives:
a) Allow compatibility with existing medical device communications designs to minimize design risk,
contain product costs, and simplify field upgrades
b) Specify hardware and software elements that are available from multiple vendors
c) Make use of other computer industry communication technology to allow for continuous cost
decreases
™
d) Meet the requirements of IEEE Std 1073 -1996
e) Be compatible with the current published and draft ISO/IEEE standard upper layers
