Overview
The following modeling and terming guidelines apply to concepts in the International Release; editorial guidelines for concepts in national extensions will be documented separately.
A diagnostic product is a product with substance ingredients used in the diagnostic process, to aid the observation of phenomena which might otherwise be hard or impossible to observe. A typical example of a diagnostic product is the antibiotic product used in susceptibility testing, which is distinct from the pharmaceutical antibiotics products used for infection treatment of patients.
Example:
- Product containing precisely amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, test disc (diagnostic product)
- Product containing precisely amoxicillin 20 microgram and clavulanic acid 10 microgram, test disc (diagnostic product)
- Product containing precisely amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, etest strip (diagnostic product)
- Product containing precisely amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, 2 : 1 ratio, etest strip (diagnostic product)
- Product containing precisely streptomycin 2.0 microgram/milliliter (diagnostic product)
Modeling
Diagnostic products concepts shall be modeled using the proximal primitive modeling pattern ("full modeling pattern"??)
Exceptions: none identified
Stated parent concept | xxx|Diagnostic product (product)| Possibly also 63653004 | Biomedical device (physical object) | or xxx|Diagnostic product| is also a descendant of 63653004 | Biomedical device (physical object) |. Cf. <<411115002 | Drug-device combination product (product) |

Relationship group | One relationship group containing one instance of each of the following attributes is required for each precise active ingredient. |

The following units are not allowed unless specifically noted as an exception:

|
Note: the denominator strength value is required for concepts in the International Release even if the value = 1 because including denominators for only some concepts negatively affects the classification results. |
|
|
Terming
FSN | Use the following pattern for the FSN; align terming and case sensitivity with the FSN for the concepts that are selected as the attribute value. For multiple ingredient diangostic products, the ingredients must be in alphabetical order and separated by the word “and”. Single ingredient:
Example:
Multi ingredient:

Synonyms | Synonyms corresponding to the FSN are not allowed unless explicitly identified as an exception.
Additional synonyms are not allowed unless explicitly identified as an exception.
