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.

[is sterile] [compositional material] [device intended site] cardiac valve prosthesis (physical object)

For example,

Biologic cardiac valve prosthesis (physical object)

Aortic valve prosthesis (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.

[is sterile] [compositional material] [device intended site] cardiac valve prosthesis

For example,

Biologic cardiac valve prosthesis

Aortic valve prosthesis

Synonym

Synonyms are not generally added for concepts in this hierarchy.

  • Exceptions:
    • Heart in place of cardiac, such as in "biologic heart valve prosthesis"
    • "Bioprosthesis" for biologic cardiac valve prosthesis
