class Ifc4::IfcMedicalDevice : public Ifc4::IfcFlowTerminal

A medical device is attached to a medical piping system and operates upon medical gases to perform a specific function. Medical gases include medical air, medical vacuum, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and nitrous oxide. Outlets for medical gasses should use IfcValve with PredefinedType equal to GASTAP, containing an IfcDistributionPort with FlowDirection=SINK and PredefinedType equal to COMPRESSEDAIR, VACUUM, or CHEMICAL, and having property sets on the port further indicating the gas type and pressure. Tanks for medical gasses should use IfcTank with PredefinedType equal to PRESSUREVESSEL, containing an IfcDistributionPort with FlowDirection=SOURCE and PredefinedType=CHEMICAL, and having property sets on the port further indicating the gas type and pressure range.

HISTORY New entity in IFC2x4

Type Use Definition IfcMedicalDevice defines the occurrence of any medical device; common information about medical device types is handled by IfcMedicalDeviceType. The IfcMedicalDeviceType (if present) may establish the common type name, usage (predefined type), properties, materials, ports, composition, assignments, and representations. The IfcMedicalDeviceType is attached using the IfcRelDefinesByType objectified relationship and is accessible by the IsTypedBy inverse attribute. If the IfcMedicalDeviceType has ports or aggregated elements, such objects are reflected at the IfcMedicalDevice occurrence using the IfcRelDefinesByObject relationship.

Property Use Definition The property sets relating to this entity are defined by IfcPropertySet and attached by the IfcRelDefinesByProperties relationship. They are accessible by the IsDefinedBy inverse attribute. Property sets may also be specified at the IfcMedicalDeviceType, defining the common property data for all occurrences of the same type. They are then accessible by the IsTypedBy inverse attribute pointing to IfcMedicalDeviceType.HasPropertySets. If both are given, then the properties directly defined at IfcMedicalDevice override the properties defined at IfcMedicalDeviceType. Refer to the documentation at the supertype IfcFlowTerminal and ancestors for inherited property set definitions. The following property set definitions are applicable to this entity: Pset_MedicalDeviceTypeCommon (PSET_TYPEDRIVENOVERRIDE)

Quantity Use Definition The quantities relating to this entity are defined by IfcElementQuantity and attached by the IfcRelDefinesByProperties relationship. They are accessible by the IsDefinedBy inverse attribute. The following base quantities are defined and shall be exchanged with the IfcElementQuantity.Name = ‘BaseQuantities’. Other quantities, being subjected to local standard of measurement, may be defined with another string value assigned to Name. In this case a valid value for MethodOfMeasurement shall be provided.

Qto_MedicalDeviceBaseQuantities

Material Use Definition The material of the IfcMedicalDevice is defined by IfcMaterialConstituentSet or as a fallback by IfcMaterial, and attached by the RelatingMaterial attribute on the IfcRelAssociatesMaterial relationship. It is accessible by the HasAssociations inverse attribute. Material information can also be given at the IfcMedicalDeviceType, defining the common attribute data for all occurrences of the same type. The following keywords for IfcMaterialConstituentSet.MaterialConstituents[n].Name shall be used:

Body: The primary material from which the object is constructed.

Port Use Definition The distribution ports relating to the IfcMedicalDevice are defined by IfcDistributionPort and attached by the IfcRelConnectsPortToElement relationship. If the medical device occurrence is defined by IfcMedicalDeviceType, then the port occurrences must reflect those defined at the IfcMedicalDeviceType using the IfcRelDefinesByObject relationship. Ports are specific to the IfcMedicalDevice PredefinedType as follows indicated by the IfcDistributionPort Name, PredefinedType, and FlowDirection:

VACUUMSTATION

Power (ELECTRICAL, SINK): Receives electrical power. VacuumOut (VACUUM, SOURCE): Provides suction.
