FR Recognition Number 13-150
Standard
IEEE  Std 11073-10472-2023
Health informatics - Device Interoperability - Part 10472: Personal Health Device Communication - Device Specialization - Medication Monitor
Identical Adoption
ISO IEEE 11073-10472 Second edition 2024-09
Health informatics - Device Interoperability - Part 10472: Personal health device communication - Device specialization - Medication monitor
Scope/Abstract
Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, this standard establishes a normative definition of the communication between medication monitoring devices and managers (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, set top boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability. It leverages appropriate portions of existing standards, including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology, information models and application profile. It specifies the use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors in telehealth environments restricting ambiguity in base frameworks in favor of interoperability. This standard defines a common core of communication functionality for medication monitors. In this context, medication monitors are defined as devices that have the ability to determine and communicate (to a manager) measures of a user's adherence to a medication regime.
Extent of Recognition
Complete standard
Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.
Transition Period
FDA recognition of ISO IEEE 11073-10472 First edition 2012-11-01 [Rec# 13-69] will be superseded by recognition of IEEE Std 11073-10472-2023 [Rec# 13-150]. FDA will accept declarations of conformity, in support of premarket submissions, to [Rec# 13-69] until December 20, 2026. After this transition period, declarations of conformity to [Rec# 13-69] will not be accepted.
