NDS segment

The equipment notification detail segment is the data necessary to maintain an adequate audit trail as well as notifications of events, (e.g., alarms that have occurred on a particular piece of equipment. 13.4.7.0 NDS Field Definitions 13.4.7.1 NDS-1 Notification Reference Number (NM) 01398 Definition: This field contains a unique sequential reference number that may be used by various components to refer to this transaction. This number is generated by the originator of this notification.

Count the pipes to find a field, and count the empty ones too: an empty field still holds its place. Leave out the separator before NDS-2 and its value arrives as NDS-1, so the receiver stores Notification Date/Time as Notification Reference Number.

This page carries the NDS field table as published and nothing beyond it. The field notes, vendor behaviour, FHIR mapping and parsing guidance that thePID page has are still to be written for NDS.
