Health Care Devices icon Work Group Maturity Level : 1   Trial Use Security Category : Anonymous Compartments : No defined compartments

Describes a measurement, calculation or setting capability of a device.

8.18.1 8.19.1 Scope and Usage

The DeviceMetric resource describes dynamic properties that characterize a direct or derived, quantitative or qualitative setting, or calculation produced by a medical device i.e, readings and settings of, or from the device. The DeviceMetric resource can also be used to describe the properties relevant to the metric such as status, last calibration time and type, measurement mode, color, and link to the parent Device.

8.18.2 8.19.2 Boundaries and Relationships

These are the DeviceMetric related resources:

  • Device: The physical, virtual, or software device that this DeviceMetric is for. Note that the Device.property element is used to record static characteristics or properties of the Device.
  • DeviceDefinition: Describes a "kind" of device - not a specific instance of the device. Note alternatively to Device the DeviceDefinition.property element may be used to record static characteristics or properties of the DeviceDefinition.
  • Observation: Used to record the particular value of the DeviceMetric at a point in time.

UML Diagram ( Legend )

DeviceMetric ( DomainResource ) Instance identifiers assigned to a device, by the device or gateway software, manufacturers, other organizations or owners. For example, handle ID identifier : Identifier [0..*] Describes the type of the metric. For example: Heart Rate, PEEP Setting, etc type : CodeableConcept [1..1] « Describes the metric type. (Strength=Preferred) DeviceMetricAndComponentTypes ? » Describes the unit that an observed value determined for this metric will have. For example: Percent, Seconds, etc unit : CodeableConcept [0..1] « Describes the unit of the metric. (Strength=Preferred) UCUMCodes ? » Describes the link to the Device. This is also known as a channel device device : Reference [1..1] « Device » Indicates current operational state of the device. For example: On, Off, Standby, etc operationalStatus : code [0..1] « null (Strength=Required) DeviceMetricOperationalStatus ! » The preferred color associated with the metric (e.g., display color). This is often used to aid clinicians to track and identify parameter types by color. In practice, consider a Patient Monitor that has ECG/HR and Pleth; the metrics are displayed in different characteristic colors, such as HR in blue, BP in green, and PR and SpO2 in magenta color : code [0..1] « null (Strength=Required) ColorCodesOrRGB ! » Indicates the category of the observation generation process. A DeviceMetric can be be, for example example, a setting, measurement, or calculation category : code CodeableConcept [1..1] « null (Strength=Required) (Strength=Extensible) DeviceMetricCategory ! + » The frequency at which the metric is taken or recorded. Devices measure metrics at a wide range of frequencies; for example, an ECG might sample measurements in the millisecond range, while an NIBP might trigger only once an hour. Less often, the measurementFrequency may be based on a unit other than time, such as distance (e.g. for a measuring wheel). The update period may be different than the measurement frequency, if the device does not update the published observed value with the same frequency as it was measured measurementFrequency : Quantity [0..1] Calibration Describes the type of the calibration method type : code CodeableConcept [0..1] « null (Strength=Required) (Strength=Extensible) DeviceMetricCalibrationType ! + » Describes the state of the calibration state : code [0..1] « null (Strength=Required) DeviceMetricCalibrationState ! » Describes the time last calibration has been performed time : instant [0..1] Describes the calibrations that have been performed or that are required to be performed calibration [0..*]
