Describes the characteristics, operational status and capabilities of a medical-related component of a medical device.

Describes the specific component type as defined in the object-oriented or metric nomenclature partition.

Describes the local assigned unique identification by the software. For example: handle ID.

Describes the timestamp for the most recent system change which includes device configuration or setting change.

Describes the link to the source Device that contains administrative device information such as manufacture, serial number, etc.

Describes the link to the parent resource. For example: Channel is linked to its VMD parent.

Indicates current operational status of the device. For example: On, Off, Standby, etc.

OperationalStatus for the MDS, VMD, or Channel will be bound to a specific ValueSet that is defined in its profile.

Describes the parameter group supported by the current device component that is based on some nomenclature, e.g., cardiovascular.

Describes the physical principle of the measurement. For example: thermal, chemical, acoustical, etc.

Describes the production specification such as component revision, serial number, etc.

Describes the specification type, such as, serial number, part number, hardware revision, software revision, etc.

Describes the internal component unique identification. This is a provision for manufacture specific standard components using a private OID. 11073-10101 has a partition for private OID semantic that the manufacture can make use of.

Describes the printable string defining the component.

Describes the language code for the human-readable text string produced by the device. This language code will follow the IETF language tag. Example: en-US.
