Codes used to categorize device alerts coming from PHD devices.

This code system defines high-level categories for alerts represented in the PHD DeviceAlert profile.

The detailed list of codes, displays, and definitions is maintained in the CodeSystem content itself. This intro focuses on intended use rather than repeating terminology entries.

Implementation Notes

  • Use category for coarse grouping, filtering, and routing of alerts.
  • Use DeviceAlert.type for the specific alert condition.
  • If multiple categories are plausible, choose the category most useful for operational triage.
  • Preserve local or device-native identifiers through local mappings or ConceptMap artifacts when needed.

This Code system is referenced in the definition of the following value sets:

  • This CodeSystem is not used here; it may be used elsewhere (e.g. specifications and/or implementations that use this content)

This case-sensitive code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/devicealert-category defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
communication-connectivity Communication / Connectivity Alert related to device, gateway, network, wireless, wired, or protocol connectivity issues.
battery-power Battery / Power Alert related to battery level, charging state, power supply, or power source failure.
device-signal-issue Device / Signal Issue Alert related to sensor attachment, signal loss, poor signal quality, missing signal, artifact, or signal acquisition failure.
measurement-validity Measurement Validity Alert indicating that a measured value may be invalid, unreliable, out of measurement range, artifact-affected, or clinically/technically unusable.
configuration Configuration Alert related to device, metric, alarm, threshold, profile, mode, or system configuration.
data-acquisition Data Acquisition Alert related to collecting, sampling, buffering, or receiving data from a device, metric, sensor, or gateway.
time-synchronization Time Synchronization Alert related to clock drift, missing timestamp, invalid timestamp, NTP/PTP failure, or inconsistent device/gateway time.
device-gateway-malfunction Device / Gateway Malfunction Alert related to malfunction, fault, internal error, failed self-test, software fault, hardware fault, or gateway runtime failure.
gateway-backend Gateway / Backend Alert related to gateway-to-backend processing, queueing, storage, service availability, API failure, FHIR publishing, or cloud/platform delivery.
security Security Alert related to authentication, authorization, certificate, encryption, integrity, access control, or cybersecurity concern.
environment Environment Related to environmental conditions.
respiratory Respiratory Related to subject's respiratory function.
maintenance Maintenance Related to maintenance of the subject, such as a device.
