ISO/IEEE 11073-10103:2014 PDF

Overview

ISO/IEEE 11073-10103:2014 - Nomenclature - Implantable device, cardiac - extends the IEEE 11073 base nomenclature to provide a standardized terminology for implantable cardiac devices. The standard covers implantable pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices, and implantable cardiac monitors. It defines the discrete terms needed to convey a clinically relevant summary of data obtained during a device interrogation and enables transfer of that summary information from vendor systems into central systems such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs) or device clinic management systems.

Key topics and requirements

• Nomenclature extension: Builds on the IEEE 11073 base codes to include terms specific to implantable cardiac devices.
• Discrete, clinically relevant terms: Defines coded items required to summarize interrogation results (e.g., device status, therapy events, diagnostic parameters) so summaries are consistent across vendors.
• Interoperability focus: Facilitates mapping of proprietary vendor outputs to a standard terminology for centralized storage and review.
• Workflow enablement: Supports clinic workflows for follow-up, in‑clinic or remote interrogation, home monitoring and remote follow‑up by standardizing the summary data that is exchanged.
• Data transfer facilitation: Intended to be used when moving interrogation results into EHRs or device clinic management systems to reduce manual reconciliation and improve efficiency.
• Scope constraints: Applies specifically to implantable cardiac device nomenclature; implementation details (protocols, transports) are handled by other parts of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family.

Applications and users

• Cardiology and electrophysiology practices that aggregate interrogation summaries from multiple device vendors.
• EHR vendors and health IT integrators implementing cardiac device data ingestion and display.
• Device clinic management system providers that centralize follow-up workflows and remote-monitoring feeds.
• Medical device manufacturers who map device outputs to standardized codes for interoperability.
• Health informatics professionals, integrators, and clinical engineers implementing device-to-EHR interfaces or clinical reporting tools.
