PCD-01: PCD-01 description

OBX-4

Condition predicate:

This field is used to distinguish between multiple OBX segments by providing an

unambiguous mapping from observation contained in the OBX segment to the

IEEE 11073 containment tree for the Medical Device System sourcing of the

observation. For device related data, this field groups devices hierarchically.

For metric related data, this field associates metrics to devices hierarchically and

is used as a sequence number within the hierarchical representation. The dotted

notation provided for in the object diagram is:

<MDS>.<VMD>.<Channel>.<Metric> for the PCD-01 transaction, where the

Metric is a sequence number.

NOTE: Numeric and Enumeration are not used for PCD-01 transactions as

shown in the object diagram.

Physiological Monitor

Containment tree

Physiological monitors are comprised of a number of different Virtual Medical

Devices (VMDs) as indicated in the following example containment tree:

The first OBX following the OBR segment is always set to:

OBX|1||69965^MDC_DEV_MON_PHYSIO_MULTI_PARAM_MDS^MDC|1

.0.0.0|||||||X

This is the standard device reference used for a monitor or monitor system.

The second OBX following OBX(1) is a Virtual Medical Device (VMD) Header, e.g.,

OBX|10||69798^MDC_DEV_ECG_VMD^MDC|1.5.0.0|||||||X
