Full title and description

Health informatics — Point-of-care medical device communication — Part 10102: Nomenclature — Annotated ECG. This standard extends the IEEE/ISO 11073 nomenclature to provide a standardized set of terms, identifiers and annotations specific to electrocardiography (ECG), including beat, wave-component, rhythm and noise annotations, per-lead identifiers and additional numeric observation identifiers for ECG data exchange.

Abstract

ISO/IEEE 11073-10102:2014 extends the base IEEE 11073-10101 nomenclature by defining terminology and observation identifiers to support annotated ECG data. It supports annotations for ECG beats, wave components, rhythms and noise, defines ECG lead systems and per-lead identifiers, and can be used together with other 11073 parts (for example the domain information model) or independently with other standards to improve interoperability of ECG-capable devices and systems.

Scope

The standard defines a nomenclature extension for annotated ECG information to be used in point-of-care and personal health device communications. It specifies discrete terms and numeric observation identifiers that describe ECG beat annotations, waveform component annotations, rhythm annotations, noise annotations, per-lead observations and ECG lead system identifiers. It is intended for use with other IEEE/ISO 11073 parts (for device/domain modeling and application profiling) or independently where a standardized ECG annotation vocabulary is required.

Key topics and requirements

• Extension of base 11073 nomenclature to include annotated ECG terminology (beats, waves, rhythms, noise).
• Definition of per-lead and global numeric observation identifiers for ECG measurements and annotations.
• Standardized identifiers for ECG lead systems and additional lead descriptors.
• Terms and codes designed to support device-to-host and device-to-device interoperability for ECG data.
• Compatibility to be used alongside other 11073 parts (for example domain information model and device specializations) to enable integrated device communication.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of ECG and cardiac-monitoring devices, device firmware and interoperability engineers, medical device integrators, EHR and clinical systems vendors, health informaticians and standards implementers use this nomenclature to ensure consistent annotation and exchange of ECG data between devices and information systems. Clinical research groups and device regulators may also reference the terminology for data consistency.

Related standards

This part is one element of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family. Closely related parts include ISO/IEEE 11073-10101 (base nomenclature), ISO/IEEE 11073-10201 (domain information model), device specialization parts such as 11073-10406 (basic electrocardiograph) and application/profile parts such as 11073-20101. Implementers typically use 10102 in combination with 10201 (domain model) and relevant device specialization parts to achieve full device interoperability.
