Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for device communication, this standard
establishes a normative definition of communication between personal telehealth pulse oximeter devices
and compute engines (e.g., cell phones, personal computers, personal health appliances, set top boxes) in a
manner that enables plug-and-play (PnP) interoperability. It leverages appropriate portions of existing
standards including ISO/IEEE 11073 terminology, information models, application profile standards, and
transport 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 communication functionality for personal telehealth pulse oximeters.
