Health informatics - Device interoperability - Part 10421: Personal Health Device Communication - Device Specialization- Peak expiratory flow monitor (peak flow) (ISO/IEEE FDIS 11073-10421:2024)
This document establishes a normative definition of communication between personal telehealth peak flow monitoring devices (agents) and managers (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, and set top boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability. It leverages work done in other ISO/IEEE 11073 standards including existing terminology, information profiles, application profile standards. It specifies the use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors in telehealth environments restricting optionality in base frameworks in favor of interoperability.
This document defines a common core of functionality of a peak-flow monitoring device. The use case is restricted to personal respiratory monitoring and therefore does not include hospital-based spirometry. Continuous and high-acuity monitoring (e.g., for emergency response) are outside the scope of the use case. In the context of personal health devices, a peak flow meter is a device is used to measure the respiratory function of those managing respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The ability to identify declining respiratory status prior to the need for acute intervention improves the quality of life for the individual while reducing the overall costs of care. Respiratory status data are collected by a personal respiratory monitoring device and forwarded to a central data repository for review and action by a health care provider. The data are episodic in nature and are forwarded at designated intervals or when the person is symptomatic.

Ce document établit une définition normative de la communication entre des dispositifs personnels de télésanté de surveillance du débit de pointe (agents) et des gestionnaires (par exemple, des téléphones cellulaires, des ordinateurs personnels, des équipements personnels de santé et des boîtiers décodeurs) d'une manière qui permet une interopérabilité du type prêt à l'emploi. Elle s'appuie sur un travail effectué dans d'autres normes ISO/IEEE 11073, y compris la terminologie, les profils d'informations et les normes de profils d'applications existants. Elle spécifie l'utilisation de codes, de formats et de comportements en termes spécifiques dans les environnements de télésanté, en limitant les choix à des cadres de travail de base en faveur de l'interopérabilité.
Ce document définit un noyau commun de fonctionnalités d'un dispositif de surveillance de débit de pointe. Le cas d'utilisation est limité à une surveillance respiratoire personnelle et par conséquent n'inclut pas une spirométrie gérée dans un hôpital. Une surveillance continue et de grande précision (par exemple, en réponse à une urgence) n'est pas couverte par le domaine d'application du cas d'utilisation. Dans le contexte des dispositifs personnels de santé, un appareil de mesure du débit de pointe est un dispositif qui est utilisé pour mesurer la fonction respiratoire de personnes confrontées à des conditions respiratoires telles que l'asthme et des maladies broncho-pneumopatiques chroniques obstructives. La capacité à identifier le déclin d'un état respiratoire avant qu'une intervention précise ne soit nécessaire améliore la qualité de vie de l'individu tout en réduisant les coûts globaux des soins. Les données concernant l'état respiratoire sont collectées par un dispositif personnel de surveillance respiratoire et sont transmises à un centre de collecte de données afin qu'un prestataire de soins les examine et agisse en conséquence. Les données sont, par nature, épisodiques et sont transmises à des intervalles prévus ou lorsque la personne présente des symptômes.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of
ISO document should be noted (see www.iso.org/directives).
IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating
Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards
through a consensus development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which
brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product.
Volunteers are not necessarily members of the Institute and serve without compensation. While the IEEE
administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, the
IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in its
standards.
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights
in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a) patent(s)
which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not
represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

Abstract: Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device
communication, a normative definition of communication is established in this standard between
personal telehealth peak expiratory flow monitor devices and compute engines (e.g., cell phones,
personal computers, personal health appliances, and set-top boxes) in a manner that enables
plug-and-play interoperability. Appropriate portions of existing standards are leveraged, including
ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology, information models, application profile standards, and transport
standards. The use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors is specified in telehealth
environments restricting optionality in base frameworks in favor of interoperability. A common
core of communication functionality is defined for personal telehealth peak expiratory flow monitor
devices.

appear in all standards and may be found under the heading “Important Notices and Disclaimers
Concerning IEEE Standards Documents.”
Notice and Disclaimer of Liability Concerning the Use of IEEE Standards
Documents
IEEE Standards documents are developed within IEEE Societies and subcommittees of IEEE Standards
Association (IEEE SA) Board of Governors. IEEE develops its standards through an accredited consensus
development process, which brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to
achieve the final product. IEEE standards are documents developed by volunteers with scientific, academic,
and industry-based expertise in technical working groups. Volunteers are not necessarily members of IEEE
or IEEE SA and participate without compensation from IEEE. While IEEE administers the process and
establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, IEEE does not independently
evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information or the soundness of any judgments contained
in its standards.
IEEE makes no warranties or representations concerning its standards, and expressly disclaims all
warranties, express or implied, concerning this standard, including but not limited to the warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement IEEE Standards documents do not
guarantee safety, security, health, or environmental protection, or guarantee against interference with or
from other devices or networks. In addition, IEEE does not warrant or represent that the use of the material
contained in its standards is free from patent infringement. IEEE Standards documents are supplied “AS
IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.”
Use of an IEEE standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE standard does not imply that there
are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related
to the scope of the IEEE standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved
and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and comments
received from users of the standard.
In publishing and making its standards available, IEEE is not suggesting or rendering professional or other
services for, or on behalf of, any person or entity, nor is IEEE undertaking to perform any duty owed by
any other person or entity to another. Any person utilizing any IEEE Standards document, should rely upon
their own independent judgment in the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances or, as
appropriate, seek the advice of a competent professional in determining the appropriateness of a given
IEEE standard.
IN NO EVENT SHALL IEEE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: THE
NEED TO PROCURE SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS;
OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY,
WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR
OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE PUBLICATION, USE OF, OR RELIANCE
UPON ANY STANDARD, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE AND
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGE WAS FORESEEABLE.

Translations
The IEEE consensus balloting process involves the review of documents in English only. In the event that
an IEEE standard is translated, only the English version published by IEEE is the approved IEEE standard.
Official statements
A statement, written or oral, that is not processed in accordance with the IEEE SA Standards Board
Operations Manual shall not be considered or inferred to be the official position of IEEE or any of its
committees and shall not be considered to be, nor be relied upon as, a formal position of IEEE. At lectures,
symposia, seminars, or educational courses, an individual presenting information on IEEE standards shall
make it clear that the presenter’s views should be considered the personal views of that individual rather
than the formal position of IEEE, IEEE SA, the Standards Committee, or the Working Group. Statements
made by volunteers may not represent the formal position of their employer(s) or affiliation(s).
Comments on standards
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards documents are welcome from any interested party, regardless of
membership affiliation with IEEE or IEEE SA. However, IEEE does not provide interpretations,
consulting information, or advice pertaining to IEEE Standards documents.
Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together with
appropriate supporting comments. Since IEEE standards represent a consensus of concerned interests, it is
important that any responses to comments and questions also receive the concurrence of a balance of
interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its Societies and subcommittees of the IEEE SA Board
of Governors are not able to provide an instant response to comments, or questions except in those cases
where the matter has previously been addressed. For the same reason, IEEE does not respond to
interpretation requests. Any person who would like to participate in evaluating comments or in revisions to
an IEEE standard is welcome to join the relevant IEEE working group. You can indicate interest in a
working group using the Interests tab in the Manage Profile & Interests area of the IEEE SA myProject
system. An IEEE Account is needed to access the application.
Comments on standards should be submitted using the Contact Us form.
Laws and regulations
Users of IEEE Standards documents should consult all applicable laws and regulations. Compliance with
the provisions of any IEEE Standards document does not constitute compliance to any applicable
regulatory requirements. Implementers of the standard are responsible for observing or referring to the
applicable regulatory requirements. IEEE does not, by the publication of its standards, intend to urge action
that is not in compliance with applicable laws, and these documents may not be construed as doing so.

Users of IEEE Standards documents should evaluate the standards for considerations of data privacy and
data ownership in the context of assessing and using the standards in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations.
Copyrights
IEEE draft and approved standards are copyrighted by IEEE under U.S. and international copyright laws.
They are made available by IEEE and are adopted for a wide variety of both public and private uses. These
include both use, by reference, in laws and regulations, and use in private self-regulation, standardization,
and the promotion of engineering practices and methods. By making these documents available for use and
adoption by public authorities and private users, neither IEEE nor its licensors waive any rights in
copyright to the documents.
Photocopies
Subject to payment of the appropriate licensing fees, IEEE will grant users a limited, non-exclusive license
to photocopy portions of any individual standard for company or organizational internal use or individual,

Patents
IEEE standards are developed in compliance with the IEEE SA Patent Policy.
Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require use of subject matter
covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken by the IEEE with respect to
the existence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. If a patent holder or patent applicant
has filed a statement of assurance via an Accepted Letter of Assurance, then the statement is listed on the
IEEE SA Website at https://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/patents.html. Letters of Assurance may
indicate whether the Submitter is willing or unwilling to grant licenses under patent rights without
compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of
any unfair discrimination to applicants desiring to obtain such licenses.
Essential Patent Claims may exist for which a Letter of Assurance has not been received. The IEEE is not
responsible for identifying Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting
inquiries into the legal validity or scope of Patents Claims, or determining whether any licensing terms or
conditions provided in connection with submission of a Letter of Assurance, if any, or in any licensing
agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory. Users of this standard are expressly advised that
determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely
their own responsibility. Further information may be obtained from the IEEE Standards Association.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Technologies, application of technologies, and recommended procedures in various industries evolve over
time. The IEEE standards development process allows participants to review developments in industries,
technologies, and practices, and to determine what, if any, updates should be made to the IEEE standard.
During this evolution, the technologies and recommendations in IEEE standards may be implemented in
ways not foreseen during the standard’s development. IEEE standards development activities consider
research and information presented to the standards development group in developing any safety
recommendations. Other information about safety practices, changes in technology or technology
implementation, or impact by peripheral systems also may be pertinent to safety considerations during
implementation of the standard. Implementers and users of IEEE Standards documents are responsible for
determining and complying with all appropriate safety, security, environmental, health, and interference
protection practices and all applicable laws and regulations.

IEEE Std 11073-10421-2023
Health Informatics—Device Interoperability—Part 10421: Personal Health Device Communication
Device Specialization—Peak Expiratory Flow Monitor (Peak Flow)
Introduction
This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 11073-10421™-2023, Health Informatics—Device Interoperability—Part
10421: Personal Health Device Communication—Device Specialization—Peak Expiratory Flow Monitor (Peak Flow).
The object classes and attributes in this standard are identified by nomenclature codes. Each code consists
of a reference identifier (RefID) string and an integer code value. By using a consistent nomenclature,
interoperability is enhanced as all implementations maintain the same semantic meaning for the numeric
codes. This standard leverages the existing nomenclature codes in IEEE Std 11073-10101™. Between this
standard, IEEE Std 11073-10101, ISO/IEEE 11073-20601, and other IEEE Std 11073-104zz, all required
nomenclature codes for implementation are documented. New codes may be defined in newer versions/
revisions of each of these documents. In the case of a conflict, where one term code has been assigned to
two separate semantic concepts with different RefIDs, in general, the oldest definition in actual use should
take precedence. The same policy applies when one RefID has two different code values assigned in
different specifications. The resolution of such conflicts will be determined through joint action by the
responsible working groups and other stakeholders, and any corrective action will be published as
corrigenda.
NOTE—In this standard, IEEE 11073-104zz is used to refer to the collection of device specialization standards that
utilize ISO/IEEE 11073-20601, where zz can be any number from 01 to 99, inclusive.
Notes in text, tables, and figures are given for information only and do not contain requirements needed to implement the standard.

1. Overview
1.1 Scope
The scope of this standard is to establish a normative definition of communication between personal
telehealth peak flow monitoring devices (agents) and managers (e.g., cell phones, personal computers,
personal health appliances, and set top boxes) in a manner that enables plug-and-play interoperability. It
leverages work done in other ISO/IEEE 11073 standards including existing terminology, information
profiles, application profile standards. It specifies the use of specific term codes, formats, and behaviors in
telehealth environments restricting optionality in base frameworks in favor of interoperability. This
standard defines a common core of functionality of a peak-flow monitoring device. The use case is
restricted to personal respiratory monitoring and therefore does not include hospital-based spirometry.
Continuous and high-acuity monitoring (e.g., for emergency response) are outside the scope of the use case.
In the context of personal health devices, a peak flow meter is a device is used to measure the respiratory
function of those managing respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease. The ability to identify declining respiratory status prior to the need for acute intervention improves
the quality of life for the individual while reducing the overall costs of care. Respiratory status data are
collected by a personal respiratory monitoring device and forwarded to a central data repository for review
and action by a health care provider. The data are episodic in nature and are forwarded at designated
intervals or when the person is symptomatic.
1.2 Purpose
This standard addresses a need for an openly defined
