The scope of this standard is the domain of Capnometer Virtual Medical Devices, which is asubset of the general group of Virtual Medical Devices (VMDs). It specifically addresses:• The Object Oriented Design and Analysis of the virtual Capnometer device.• The Data Model of the information transferred to and from the Capnometer VMD.• The impact of the Application Profile Model that governs the selected specificationoptions available within the various communication standards.• The Dynamic Model of the Virtual Medical Device.• Conformance issues for the Virtual Medical Device implementation.The Data Model in turn is based on the IEEE P1073.1 Medical Device Data Language (MDDL)series of standards that defines the semantics and syntax of the information exchanged.The Application Profile Model is also based on the IEEE P1073.2 Medical Device ApplicationProfiles (MDAP) series that defines the various options available within the IEEE 1073 family ofstandards.
