This standard extends the base ISO/IEEE 11073-10101:20041 to provide support for ECG annotationterminology. Major subject areas addressed by the nomenclature include ECG beat annotations, wavecomponent annotations, rhythm annotations, and noise annotations. It also defines additional global and per-lead numeric observation identifiers, ECG lead systems, and additional ECG lead identifiers. The nomenclature extensions may be used in conjunction with other IEEE 11073 standard components (e.g., ISO/IEEE 11073-10201:2004 [B19]2) or independently with other standards.
Purpose
This standard provides a unified and comprehensive terminology for ECG annotation semantics, making it suitable for medical device data exchange that requires inclusion of ECG annotations. This standard consolidates numerous other standard and nonstandard terminologies that are in current use, resulting in the harmonization of how ECG annotation information is identified, enabling interoperability, and providing information exchange at the application level.
Abstract
New IEEE Standard - Active.The base IEEE 11073-10101 Nomenclature is extended by this standard to provide support for ECG annotation terminology. It may be used either in conjunction with other IEEE 11073 standards (e.g., ISO/IEEE 11073-10201:2001) or independently with other standards. The major subject areas addressed by the nomenclature include ECG beat annotations, wave component annotations, rhythm annotations, and noise annotations. Additional global and per-lead numeric observation identifiers, ECG lead systems, and additional ECG lead identifiers also are defined.
