IHE PCD-01 is an Integration Profile that simplifies and adds semantic meaning 
to HL7 V2.6 messaging. The device conforms to PCD-01 as a Device Observation 
Report (DOR) actor using:
 ISO/IEEE 11073-10101 nomenclature in OBX-3 (Observation Identifier).
 Virtual medical device containment tree in OBX-4 (Observation Sub-ID).
 The originating medical device in OBX-18 (equipment instance identifier). 
The value of this identifier is composed of two components. Component #1 
is an EUI-64 identifier that starts with the GE Healthcare company code, plus 
the EUI-64 separator, followed by the last 3 octects of the system's MAC 
address in hex upper-case with no separators., plus a string that identifies 
the monitoring equipment. For example, “080019FFFEAABBCCxxxxxxxx”. 
Component #2 is “B40_GE”.
NOTE: The OBX-4 Observation Sub-ID follows PCD observation results 
guidelines for relationships and elements in a hierarchical tree shown in 
the following diagram.
