Naming Guidelines

FSN

Use the following naming pattern for the FSN; align terming and case sensitivity with the FSN for the concepts selected as the attribute values, excluding the semantic tag.

[compositional material] [body structure] shunt (physical object)

For example,

  • Ventricular shunt (physical object)
  • Pleuroperitoneal shunt (physical object)

Preferred Term

Use the following naming pattern for the PT; align terming and case sensitivity with the PT for the concept that is selected as the attribute value.

[compositional material] [body structure] shunt

For example,

  • Ventricular shunt
  • Pleuroperitoneal shunt
Synonym

Synonyms are not generally added for concepts in this hierarchy.

Stated parent concept(s)

257351008 |Shunt (physical object)|

Additional parent, if applicable:

  • 258166002 |Custom made implant (physical object)
Semantic tag(physical object)

Attribute:  Has device intended site


  • Note this attribute is used to model the proximal site of the shunt only.
  • Range: <<123037004 |Body structure (body structure)|
    • NOTE: While the MRCM allowed range includes the top-level concept, 123037004 |Body structure (body structure)|, only the descendants should be used in modeling shunt concepts.
  • Cardinality: 0..1

Attribute:  Has compositional material

  • Range: <<105590001 |Substance (substance)|
    • NOTE: While the MRCM allowed range includes the top-level concept, 105590001 |Substance (substance)|, only the descendants should be used in modeling shunt concepts.
  • Cardinality: 0..*
