The Device Identifiers (DI) domain is used to represent information about stents used in a study. In the DI domain, each unique set of identifying characteristics is associated with a unique SPDEVID value, which can then be used in other domains to reference the devices that are identified in the DI domain. The appropriate device was assigned for each prespecified or collected device. Note: When DIPARMCD ="DEVTYPE", DIVAL is assigned using Global Medical Device Nomenclature (GMDN) terminology. Example terms do not represent valid GMDN terms, which are copyrighted.
Stent exposure is represented in the Device Exposure (DX) domain. The DXTRT variable represents the name of the device to which subjects were exposed; the value of the SPDEVID variable indicates that each record specifically relates to the stent devices identified in the DI domain.
