Health informatics - PoC medical device communication - Part 00101: Guide - Guidelines for the use of RF wireless technology
This guide addresses the use of radio frequency (RF) wireless technology for the transport of medical data both to and from point-of-care (PoC) medical devices. The context of such wireless medical data transport can range from home- or mobile-based healthcare to inhospital ambulatory and stationary situations. This guide defines specific use cases to estimate, compare, and contrast performance of known technologies operating on wireless personal area networks (WPANs), wireless local area networks (WLANs), wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs), and wireless wide area networks (WWAN). Major considerations are the quality of service (QoS) requirements associated with the data being transported, the expected performance of the wireless technology, and the specific needs and resources of the end user. Related issues include network architecture, electromagnetic interference and compatibility (EMI/EMC), coexistence with other data streams, security, cost, power consumption, and technology configurability.
