# description
Concept status within the ISO/IEEE 11073 Medical Device Communication Nomenclature.  Refer to IEEE 11073-10101-2019 Annex H.

# concept[].definition
A provisional term is allocated a term code and RefId. Provisional terms are generally used for development and interoperability testing and ought not to be released in production devices.

# concept[].definition
Accepted terms will be included in the first draft of a revision or amendment of IEEE Std 11073-10101 (or one of the IEEE 11073-1010* family of nomenclature standards) for ballot. Although accepted terms may be used in production devices, they could be deprecated or withdrawn during subsequent IEEE balloting after the first draft in which they appear.

# concept[].definition
Terms that are included in an IEEE 11073 standard and that have not been deprecated or withdrawn are designated published.

# concept[].definition
Terms may be designated as deprecated for a number of reasons, which may include deprecation of the entire term, the term code (RefId retained but a new term code allocated) or the RefId (term code retained but a new RefId allocated). Deprecated terms, term codes and RefIds are to be removed from use in production devices.

# concept[].definition
Terms found to be in error, such as having conflicting codes, are designated withdrawn and ought to be removed from existing devices and applications. Use of withdrawn terms shall be indicated as an error.

# concept[].definition
Terms that have been determined to be in error and that are expected to be formally withdrawn upon publication of a future IEEE 11073 standard.  These terms should be treated as withdrawn terms.

# concept[].definition
Terms that are expected to be formally deprecated upon publication of a future IEEE 11073 standard.  These terms should be treated as deprecated terms.

# concept[].definition
Terms that were created but were rejected during or before balloting.
