NBN EN ISO 11073-10404:2011

ISO/IEEE 11073-10404:2010 establishes a normative definition of communication between personal telehealth pulse oximeter devices and computer engines (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, set top boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play (PnP) interoperability. It leverages appropriate portions of existing standards including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology, information models, application profile standards and transport standards. It specifies the use of specific term codes, formats and behaviours in telehealth environments restricting optionality in base frameworks in favour of interoperability.
ISO/IEEE 11073-10404:2010 defines a common core of communication functionality for personal telehealth pulse oximeters and addresses a need for an openly defined, independent standard for controlling information exchange to and from personal health devices and computer engines.
