Concept
An infusion is a device that slowly injects fluid into a blood vessel. The infusion has a number of components.
The infusion contains:
the (peripheral) cannula or the (central) catheter put into the patient peripherally or centrally;
the administering system connected to the cannula/catheter allowing the administered fluid to run,
the infusion bag containing the fluid.
Multiple administering systems may be connected to one cannula/catheter. Furthermore, a central venous catheter may have multiple lumens.
Arterial and epidural catheters also exist in addition to venous catheters.
Purpose
The purpose of an infusion is usually to administer fluid and/or medication.
Information on present infusions is recorded to inform other health professionals. This information is of importance in determining the care required for the patient and in safely administering medication. In a transfer situation, the information offers the option to realize continuity of care by organizing specific expertise and materials in advance, for example.

Infusion
Root concept of the Infusion information model. This root concept contains all data elements of the infusion information model.
InfusionCatheter describes the presence of an infusion catheter. If this is the case, the date of placement and insertion opening can be described in addition to the type of catheter. Furthermore, it offers the option to record identification information of the cannula/catheter if desired.
Container of the AdministeringSystem concept. This container contains all data elements of the AdministeringSystem concept.
The administering system contains the entire system making the fluid run from the infusion bag via the cannula/catheter to the patient. This also includes any three-way valves/connecting joints used.

Technical specifications in HL7v3 CDA and HL7 FHIR
To exchange information based on health and care information models, additional, more technical specifications are required.
Not every environment can handle the same technical specifications. For this reason, there are several types of technical specifications:
HL7® version 3 CDA compatible specifications, available through the Nictiz ART-DECOR® environment
HL7® FHIR® compatible specifications, available through the Nictiz environment on the Simplifier FHIR
