Description / Abstract:
The scope of this standard is a service-oriented medical device architecture and communication protocol specification for distributed system of point-of-care (PoC) medical devices and medical IT systems that need to exchange data or safely control networked PoC medical devices. It identifies the functional components, their communication relationships as well as the binding of the components and communication relationships to protocol specifications.
Purpose
This standard defines an architecture for service-oriented distributed PoC medical devices and medical IT systems. It describes a binding of the Participant and Communication model as defined in IEEE 11073- 10207 to MDPWS (Medical Devices Communication Profile for Web Services) as defined in IEEE 11073- 20702 for transport over Web Services. Moreover, a binding to the Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is specified for time synchronization and transport quality-of-service requirements.
