Adding a measurement set
When you edit the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node, use the IBM® Integration Toolkit to add a measurement set to specify the medical measurements to be collected by a medical device.
- Configure your MedicalDeviceInput node by selecting a configurable service file for the node. See Configuring a MedicalDeviceInput node.
- Open the Medical Device Configurable Service editor to edit the configurable service for your MedicalDeviceInput node. See Editing the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node by using the IBM Integration Toolkit.
A measurement set is a group of medical measurements that can be applied to a medical device to specify the measurements that the device collects. Measurements are either discrete values, alarm alerts, or waveforms. Discrete values and alarm alerts must have a polling interval defined in the measurement set. The interval specifies how frequently the measurement is collected.
The measurements are collected by the MedicalDeviceInput node and can be used in your message flow applications. The measurement set that a device uses is defined in the device connection. Every device you want to collect data from must have a measurement set, but more than one device can use the same measurement set if the devices are of the same device type. In a measurement set you can add notes and tags about the measurement set. Notes and tag fields are text fields that can be used to filter the list of measurement sets.
To add a new measurement set:
- If you added a measurement set while adding or editing a device connection, continue adding or editing the device connection. See Adding a device connection or Editing a device connection.
- If you have finished editing the configurable service for your MedicalDeviceInput node, you must now deploy your configurable service. See Deploying the configurable service for a MedicalDeviceInput node.
