device emergency indicatordev_emerg_ind

A flag designating that a medical device was deployed or utilized under emergency conditions. Used in clinical documentation and claims processing to support expedited regulatory approvals, emergency use authorizations, and appropriate billing codes for urgent device-related interventions.

device end datedev_end_dt

The date marking the conclusion of a medical device's active assignment, warranty period, or authorized use in EHR, DME claims, or inventory systems. Used by data engineers to close device records in SCD Type 2 tables, expire device-patient relationships, and support utilization period calculations in analytics pipelines.

device end timedev_end_tm

The timestamp recording when a medical device session, therapy, or monitoring period was completed for a patient encounter. Used in clinical documentation and utilization tracking to calculate total device usage duration, support accurate billing, and analyze device efficiency.

device entered bydev_ent_by

The identifier of the clinical or administrative staff member who manually entered the medical device data into the system. Used in audit trail management and data quality oversight within clinical asset management systems to track data entry accountability and support error resolution.

device ethnicitydev_ethn

The ethnicity classification associated with the patient for whom a medical device is prescribed or implanted. Used in clinical research, post-market surveillance, and population health analytics to evaluate device performance and safety outcomes across diverse patient demographic groups.

device expiration datedev_exp_dt

The date after which a medical device or associated consumable is no longer considered safe or valid for clinical use, as stored in EHR, supply chain, or device registry systems. Used by data engineers to enforce data quality checks, trigger replacement workflows, and flag expired devices in patient safety reporting datasets.

device external identifierdev_ext_id

A reference identifier assigned by an external system, such as a vendor platform, regulatory body, or interoperability network, to uniquely identify a medical device across multiple healthcare systems. Used in device data exchange, UDI reconciliation, and cross-system inventory management.

device faxdev_fax

The facsimile number associated with a medical device supplier, manufacturer, or servicing vendor. Used in procurement, maintenance coordination, and regulatory communication workflows within clinical asset management systems to facilitate device ordering, repair requests, and compliance documentation.

device feedev_fee

The charge amount billed for the use, rental, or purchase of a medical device in the context of a patient encounter or durable medical equipment (DME) claim. Used in revenue cycle management and claims adjudication to determine reimbursement amounts from payers.

device first namedev_first_nm

The primary or first component of a medical device's assigned name, typically corresponding to a brand name or device family designation. Used in clinical asset management and inventory systems to facilitate device identification, search, and display in clinical and administrative interfaces.

device flagdev_flg

Binary or enumerated indicator field used in EHR, claims, or device registry systems to signal a specific status or condition of a medical device, such as recall status, active implant, or FDA reportable event. Used by data engineers to filter records, trigger downstream alerts, and support compliance and safety reporting workflows.

device frequencydev_freq

The prescribed or programmed operational frequency at which a medical device delivers therapy, collects data, or performs a function, such as infusion rate cycles or stimulation intervals. Used in clinical documentation and device configuration management to ensure protocol adherence and patient safety.

device full namedev_full_nm

The complete official name of a medical device, including brand, model, and descriptor components. Used in clinical asset management, regulatory filings, and procurement documentation to provide an unambiguous human-readable identifier that aligns with manufacturer labeling and UDI database records.

device genderdev_gndr

Classifies a medical device by gender designation when the device is designed or calibrated for use with a specific sex, such as gender-specific implants, prosthetics, or diagnostic equipment with sex-based reference ranges in device registry systems.

device glucosedev_gluc

Captures the blood glucose measurement reading recorded or transmitted by a medical device such as a continuous glucose monitor or glucometer. Used in device data integration workflows to store and track patient glucose values reported directly from the monitoring equipment.

device group numberdev_grp_nbr

Identifies the logical grouping or classification number assigned to a medical device within an asset management or biomedical inventory system. Used to categorize devices by type, department, or functional class for tracking, maintenance scheduling, and reporting purposes.

device hemoglobindev_hgb

Stores the hemoglobin measurement value captured or transmitted by a diagnostic medical device such as a point-of-care hematology analyzer. Used in device data integration to record and track hemoglobin readings reported directly from the measuring instrument for clinical decision support.

device history present illnessdev_hpi

Documents the clinical narrative describing the patient's current condition or presenting complaint as it relates to the use or implantation of a specific medical device. Used in device-associated clinical records to provide context for device selection, deployment, or troubleshooting decisions.

device identifierdev_id

The unique key value assigned to a medical device in EHR, MDM, or GUDID systems, often corresponding to a UDI (Unique Device Identifier) or internal surrogate key. Used by data engineers as a primary join key to link device records across inventory, claims, clinical, and regulatory reporting systems in healthcare data warehouses.

device indexdev_idx

Ordinal position value assigned to a medical device within a set or sequence in EHR, clinical trial, or device management systems. Used by data engineers to resolve multi-device scenarios for a single patient or encounter, maintain record ordering in array-structured payloads, and support indexed lookups in device catalog tables.
