Descrizione

Derived from www.openehr.org Use to record the details of a medical device used in the provision of healthcare. Use of the term 'medical device' varies depending on context. Within the Standards world, the term device tends to refer to mechanical or electronic devices that support healthcare and require rigorous documentation regarding location tracking, maintenance, calibration, software versions etc. Within the terminology context the use of device is very broad, including any medical device that can be used in direct or indirect provision of clinical care, as long as it does not act in a way that exerts a direct pharmacological, metabolic or immunological effect. Examples of medical devices range from simple devices such as urinary catheters, tongue depressors, contact lenses, artificial joint implants, breast implants and plain dressings through to advanced devices such as artificial hearts, syringe drivers, spirometers, mobile phone applications and computerised devices that capture point-of-care medical measurements. In the complex situation where a surgically implanted device is used as the means to deliver therapeutic agents such as chemotherapy directly into the body, this archetype will be used to record only the details about the medical device itself and the order for medication and details about the actual administration of the therapeutic agent will be recorded using specific medication-related INSTRUCTION and ACTION archetypes. This archetype is designed to provide the framework for structured representation of any medical device and the data elements that are contained here are not specific for any one type of device. Single use devices will commonly require data elements such as Lot Number and Date of Expiry. In contrast these are usually not relevant for durable devices which will often have a set of identifiers, including a UID, Serial Number, Model etc. Further, different types of devices will require specific information relevant to their purpose. This data can be recorded using specific CLUSTER archetypes inserted into the 'Specific properties' SLOT. For example: use of a urinary catheter may require additional details about the diameter and length of catheter, material composition, number of lumens etc. If the medical device has a number of components that require recording of details, each individual component should be recorded explicitly by using an additional CLUSTER.device archetype inserted into the 'Components' SLOT. The data field 'Software Version' allows for only a single version to be recorded. This is primarily applicable for a device which is a software application. If the device has multiple software or hardware components that need to be specified, this should be done by using an addition CLUSTER.device inserted into the 'Components' SLOT. To record additional details for durable or persistent devices that relate to ownership, physical location tracking, maintenance schedules etc, use CLUSTER.device_details archetype inserted into the 'Asset management' SLOT in this archetype. This archetype has been designed for generic use within other archetypes that need to describe a device. Examples include: OBSERVATION.blood_pressure for the sphygmomanometer; OBSERVATION.ecg for the ECG machine; OBSERVATION.urinalysis for the reactent strips and the device used for testing; ACTION.procedure; and CLUSTER.exam_tympanic_membrane to detail the otoscope used.
