Tip
titleModeling

A brand or trade name may stand for a category of product and not the particular brand itself. These proprietary names may be included in the International Release as descriptions (non-FSN descriptions). They should not be included in FSNs.

For example,

    • Kleenex, band aid, popsicle

Exception

An exception to the inclusion of brand names of devices has been made to include a select number of devices used in glaucoma treatment. The Eye Care Clinical Reference Group agreed on the list of these devices, acknowledging their consistent international use and representation. The exception is necessary due to the challenge of describing these devices clearly and unambiguously in the SNOMED FSN. Since the selection of these devices is based on their brand names, it is essential to include them in SNOMED CT.
