• PDF concepts that SHOULD be added to SNOMED CT if requested by a member to support authoring of medicinal products.  These are PDFs whose semantics can be fully defined using the SNOMED CT PDF concept model and would be clinically useful PDFs for the use cases.
  • For all of these, a fully specified name and logical definition have been suggested.
• PDF concepts that COULD be added to SNOMED CT if requested by a member to support authoring of medicinal products.  These are PDFs whose semantics are not as easy to fully define in SNOMED CT and/or for which there are some reservations as to their clinical usefulness.
  • For these, a fully specified name and logical definition have been tentatively suggested.
• PDF concepts that SHOULD NOT be added to SNOMED CT.  These are concepts with ambiguous semantics or significant reservations about their clinical usefulness.  There are very few of these, and they mostly occur from early, less rigorous requests to EDQM or to describe products that would now not be considered medicinal products. (for example, the EDQM term "implantation tablet"; any new products would be encouraged to use the term "implant").
