device numberdev_nbr

The unique numeric or alphanumeric reference identifier assigned to a medical equipment item in EHR, biomedical engineering, or DME claims systems. Used to track individual devices across inventory management, maintenance records, and billing transactions.

device onset datedev_onset_dt

Captures the date on which a medical device was first activated, implanted, or began operating in a clinical context, or alternatively the date a device-related clinical condition or complication first appeared. Used in device registry, adverse event tracking, and post-market surveillance systems to establish timelines for device performance and safety reporting.

device oxygen saturationdev_o2sat

The peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) percentage recorded by or associated with a monitoring device, such as a pulse oximeter. Captures real-time or stored arterial oxygen levels to support clinical decision-making, remote patient monitoring, and ventilator or oxygen therapy management.

device paid amountdev_pd_amt

The actual dollar amount paid to the supplier or manufacturer for a durable medical equipment (DME) item following adjudication. Used in claims processing and DME billing to reconcile reimbursements against submitted charges, contractual allowances, and patient cost-sharing responsibilities.

device paid datedev_pd_dt

The calendar date on which payment was issued for a durable medical equipment (DME) claim or purchase transaction. Used in DME claims adjudication and financial reporting to track payment cycles, reconcile remittance advice, and monitor payer reimbursement timelines.

device parentdev_prnt

The hierarchical superior relationship linking a medical equipment item to a parent device, system, or asset category in EHR or biomedical inventory systems. Enables parent-child device tracking for modular equipment, accessory components, or system-level reporting.

device percentagedev_pct

A calculated ratio value associated with a medical equipment item, representing utilization rates, battery capacity, sensor accuracy, or billing allocation percentages in EHR, biomedical, or DME claims systems. Used in device performance and cost-sharing analytics.

device perioddev_prd

The defined time span or duration associated with a medical equipment item's usage, rental, maintenance cycle, or warranty in DME claims, EHR, or asset management systems. Critical for rental billing calculations and equipment lifecycle reporting in healthcare data pipelines.

device phonedev_ph

The telephone number associated with a medical equipment item, vendor contact, or device support line in biomedical asset management or DME supplier systems. Used to route equipment service requests, warranty calls, or recalls within healthcare operational data systems.

device plandev_pln

The documented clinical or care management plan associated with a patient's prescribed medical device, outlining intended use, therapeutic goals, monitoring schedules, and follow-up protocols. Supports coordinated care planning for DME such as ventilators, insulin pumps, or cardiac monitors.

device policy numberdev_pol_nbr

The insurance policy identifier linked to coverage for a prescribed durable medical equipment (DME) item. Used in DME claims processing and prior authorization workflows to verify member eligibility, apply correct benefit rules, and associate device transactions with the appropriate insurance plan.

device preferred namedev_pref_nm

The standardized or commercially preferred display name assigned to a medical device, used to consistently identify the item across clinical documentation, procurement systems, and patient-facing materials. Supports device catalog management and ensures clear communication among clinicians, patients, and suppliers.

device pricedev_prc

The listed or contracted unit cost of a durable medical equipment (DME) item prior to insurance adjudication or discounts. Used in DME procurement, claims billing, and cost analysis to establish the billed charge amount and support pricing transparency and budget forecasting.

device primary indicatordev_prim_ind

A flag designating whether a medical device is the primary or principal device assigned to a patient when multiple devices are in use. Used in DME management and clinical documentation to prioritize device records, apply billing rules, and ensure accurate reporting of active therapeutic equipment.

device prioritydev_prty

The importance or urgency ranking assigned to a medical equipment item for maintenance scheduling, procurement, or clinical deployment in biomedical engineering and EHR systems. Drives workflow sequencing for critical life-sustaining devices versus lower-acuity DME equipment.

device pulsedev_pulse

The heart rate measurement, expressed in beats per minute, recorded by or transmitted from a monitoring device such as a pulse oximeter or cardiac monitor. Used in remote patient monitoring, chronic disease management, and clinical documentation to track cardiovascular status over time.

device quantitydev_qty

The numeric count or volume of a specific medical equipment item dispensed, ordered, or maintained in DME claims, EHR, pharmacy, or biomedical inventory systems. Used in billing unit calculations, supply chain tracking, and equipment utilization reporting across healthcare data platforms.

device racedev_race

The racial or ethnic classification of the patient associated with a medical device record. Captured to support health equity analysis, disparity reporting, and population health studies related to DME utilization patterns and outcomes across demographic groups in compliance with regulatory reporting requirements.

device rangedev_rng

The minimum and maximum value limits associated with a medical equipment item's operational parameters, such as acceptable measurement intervals or dosage thresholds, in EHR and clinical device management systems. Used for device safety validation and alerting in data pipelines.

device ratedev_rt

The unit price, rental rate, or reimbursement amount associated with a medical equipment item in DME claims, PBM, or healthcare billing systems. Used to calculate allowed amounts, co-pays, and payer reimbursements for durable medical equipment under Medicare or commercial plans.
