This is the starting page for the MedTechLabel project Information Model Guide (IG) that collects the necessary information for creating the information model for medical devices. It allows for collecting the information in interlinked fragments thus reducing duplication and overhead while finding a suitable representation of the details depending on their characteristics.
The primary purpose is for now:
A medical device can be described in many ways:
This specification has to abstract from it in order to allow for providing all the ncessary details for a modelling.
