IEEE 11073-10700-2022 PDF
This standard specifies the base set of Participant Key Purposes (PKPs) for the Service-oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) series of standards. PKPs are role-based sets of requirements for products in order to support safe, effective, and secure interoperability in medical IT networks at point-of-care environments such as the intensive care unit (ICU), operating room (OR) or other acute care settings. This standard specifies both product development process and technical requirements.
New IEEE Standard – Active. Medical devices that offer a communication interface as specified by the IEEE 11073 Service-oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) standards can be integrated into a health IT system to jointly execute system functions. However, implementing the IEEE 11073 SDC communication protocol is not sufficient to demonstrate safety, effectiveness, and security of system functions resulting from the combination of system function contributions from two or more medical devices. SDC participant key purposes (PKPs) are sets of requirements that allow for manufacturers to have certain expectations about BICEPS participants from other manufacturers. This common understanding enables the manufacturers to perform risk management, verification, validation, and usability engineering for the safe use of system functions. This standard specifies requirements for the allocation of responsibilities to SDC base participants.
