equipment maximumequip_max

The upper operational threshold or capacity limit defined for a medical device, such as maximum pressure, voltage, or dosage output. Used in biomedical engineering, device configuration management, and clinical safety protocols to ensure equipment operates within approved parameters.

equipment medical record numberequip_mrn

Identifies the patient medical record number associated with a medical device assignment or usage event. Links equipment utilization records to specific patient encounters in clinical data systems, supporting device-to-patient tracking for durable medical equipment and implantable devices.

equipment middle nameequip_mid_nm

Stores the middle segment of a medical device name in systems that parse equipment names into structured components. Used in asset registries and inventory platforms to support full name reconstruction, accurate device identification, and consistent record display across clinical systems.

equipment minimumequip_min

The lower operational threshold or capacity limit defined for a medical device, such as minimum battery level, pressure, or flow rate. Used in biomedical engineering, device configuration management, and clinical safety protocols to ensure equipment operates above required functional parameters.

equipment mobileequip_mob

Indicates whether a medical device is classified as mobile or portable within a clinical facility, or stores a contact number associated with mobile device management. Used in asset tracking systems to coordinate transport, deployment, and maintenance scheduling of movable clinical equipment.

equipment modified byequip_mod_by

Records the user ID or system identifier responsible for the most recent update to a medical equipment record. Used in audit trail tracking and data governance processes to maintain accountability for changes made to equipment attributes in clinical asset management systems.

equipment modified dateequip_mod_dt

The date a medical apparatus record was last updated in EHR, DME claims, or asset management systems. Used by data engineers to implement incremental data loads, detect record changes in ETL pipelines, and maintain audit trails for equipment configuration or status updates across healthcare data platforms.

equipment modified timeequip_mod_tm

Timestamp capturing when a medical equipment record was last updated in the system. Used in data auditing, change history tracking, and ETL processes to identify recently modified device records and ensure downstream clinical and operational systems reflect current equipment information.

equipment nameequip_nm

The standardized or display label assigned to a medical apparatus in EHR, supply chain, and DME claims systems. Used as a human-readable identifier for device catalog lookups, clinical documentation, and reporting outputs, often mapped to HCPCS descriptions or UDI device nomenclature in healthcare data pipelines.

equipment noteequip_nt

Free-text or structured annotation associated with a medical apparatus record in EHR and asset management systems. Captures supplemental context such as maintenance observations, clinician remarks, or exception details that support device lifecycle tracking and clinical documentation workflows in healthcare data platforms.

equipment numberequip_nbr

A numeric reference value assigned to uniquely identify or catalog a medical apparatus in EHR, DME claims, and facility management systems. Used by data engineers as a secondary key or reference identifier for equipment records, supporting joins to inventory, billing, and maintenance datasets across healthcare data pipelines.

equipment onset dateequip_onset_dt

The date on which a medical device was first placed into active service or assigned to a clinical use case. Used in equipment lifecycle management to calculate service duration, schedule preventive maintenance, and support warranty tracking in biomedical and asset management systems.

equipment oxygen saturationequip_o2sat

The oxygen saturation measurement recorded or transmitted by a pulse oximetry or respiratory monitoring device. Captures the SpO2 reading associated with a specific equipment usage event, linking device output to patient vital sign data in clinical monitoring and documentation systems.

equipment paid amountequip_pd_amt

The reimbursement or payment amount received for a durable medical equipment item as recorded on a claim or billing transaction. Used in DME billing workflows, claims adjudication, and financial reporting to capture actual payments made by payers or patients for equipment rental or purchase.

equipment paid dateequip_pd_dt

The date on which payment was issued or received for a durable medical equipment claim or invoice. Used in DME billing and accounts receivable workflows to track payment timing, reconcile outstanding balances, and support financial reporting across equipment-related claim transactions.

equipment parentequip_prnt

Hierarchical reference identifying the primary or master medical apparatus to which a subordinate device is associated in healthcare asset management and EHR systems. Used to track device relationships such as a ventilator system linked to its individual component modules or accessories for maintenance, billing, and utilization reporting.

equipment percentageequip_pct

Calculated ratio representing a proportional value associated with a medical apparatus, such as utilization rate, depreciation percentage, or reimbursement allocation in healthcare asset management and claims systems. Used by revenue cycle and finance teams to allocate equipment costs across departments or payer contracts.

equipment periodequip_prd

Defined time span during which a medical apparatus is active, leased, under maintenance contract, or authorized for use in healthcare asset management and durable medical equipment (DME) billing systems. Used in claims adjudication to validate rental duration and authorize recurring DME reimbursement periods under CMS and payer guidelines.

equipment phoneequip_ph

Telephone contact number associated with a medical apparatus or its responsible vendor, service technician, or department in healthcare asset management systems. Used by biomedical engineering teams and EHR facility modules to route maintenance requests, warranty claims, and device support inquiries to the correct contact.

equipment planequip_pln

Describes the maintenance, deployment, or usage plan associated with a medical device, including scheduled servicing intervals or clinical utilization protocols. Used in biomedical engineering and asset management systems to document planned equipment activities and support operational continuity.
