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

Describes the type of the metric. For example: Heart Rate, PEEP Setting, etc.

Describes the unique identification of this metric that has been assigned by the device or gateway software. For example: handle ID. It should be noted that in order to make the identifier unique, the system element of the identifier should be set to the unique identifier of the device.

Describes the unit that an observed value determined for this metric will have. For example: Percent, Seconds, etc.

Describes the link to the Device that this DeviceMetric belongs to and that contains administrative device information such as manufacture, serial number, etc.

Describes the link to the DeviceComponent that this DeviceMetric belongs to and that provide information about the location of this DeviceMetric in the containment structure of the parent Device. An example would be a DeviceComponent that represents a Channel. This reference can be used by a client application to distinguish DeviceMetrics that have the same type, but should be interpreted based on their containment location.

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

Describes the typical color of the representation of observations that have been generated for this DeviceMetric.

Indicates the category of the observation generation process. A DeviceMetric can be for example a setting, measurement, or calculation.

Describes the measurement repetition time. This is not necessarily the same as the update period.

Describes the calibrations that have been performed or that are required to be performed.

Describes the type of the calibration method.

Describes the state of the calibration.

Describes the time last calibration has been performed.
