- Definition: The Device In-Use (DU) domain represents properties of an ancillary device that are intentionally set when the device is used in the context of a study.
- Tobacco products—including ENDS devices—are not considered ancillary devices and would not be represented here. An ancillary device is a device used within a study but which is not the target of the study
study (e.g., a smoking machine that performs a smoking regimen). If settings for an ancillary device in a study need to be recorded and the device needs to be identified in the data, Device Identifiers (DI) must be used for that identification.Unlike Device Properties (Jira showSummary false server Issue Tracker (JIRA) serverId 85506ce4-3cb3-3d91-85ee-f633aaaf4a45 key TOBA-521 - DO),
which describe device characteristics that do not change for the device during the study, the The DU domain captures characteristics and properties of a device that can vary from subject to subject or usage to usage over the course of a study. For example:Jira showSummary false server Issue Tracker (JIRA) serverId 85506ce4-3cb3-3d91-85ee-f633aaaf4a45 key TOBA-510 - The While the full range of field strengths for a given MRI machine might be 0.5 to 3 Tesla, and these values would be captured in DO. DU would record the specific settings used for a given subject (e.g., the field strength for the MRI scan for subject 123 was 0.5T for visit 1).
- The software for a pacemaker may start at Version 1, and be updated to Version 2 during the study. This change can be captured here. It would not go in DO, as DO holds only characteristics that do not change during the study.the DU domain.
- There are 2 primary identifiers in this domain: USUBJID and SPDEVID. Both are Expected. Either 1 or the other or both must be used. For example, a device under study will always have a SPDEVID, but may or may not have a USUBJID. An ancillary device (one not under study) for which in-use data are required may have a USUBJID but may or may not have SPDEVID. In all cases where SPDEVID is used, it must be defined in the DI domain.

- Because any number of device settings (e.g., coil strength, placement of leads) can be reported in this domain, each setting is represented by a separate row and is defined in the topic variable DUTESTCD. The original result goes into DUORRES.
- DUREFID is the identifier for a unique scan or other test result to link a group of settings (e.g., field strength or slice thickness in an MRI scan) to the results obtained from the reading or interpretation of the test (e.g., the MRI image).
- The DUSPID variable can be used to link this domain to other domains if necessary, such as Adverse Events Clinical Observations (AE),
Exposure, CL), and/or Device Events.Jira showSummary false server Issue Tracker (JIRA) serverId 85506ce4-3cb3-3d91-85ee-f633aaaf4a45 key TOBA-520 Jira showSummary false server Issue Tracker (JIRA) serverId 85506ce4-3cb3-3d91-85ee-f633aaaf4a45 key TOBA-516 Jira showSummary false server Issue Tracker (JIRA) serverId 85506ce4-3cb3-3d91-85ee-f633aaaf4a45 key TOBA-692Exposure. - The following Qualifiers would not generally be used in DU: --MODIFY, --BODSYS, --POS,--ORNRLO, --ORNRHI, --STNRLO, --STNRHI, --STNRC, --NRIND, --RESCAT, --REASND, --XFN, --NAM, --LOINC, --SPEC, --SPCCND, --LOC, --METHOD, --FAST, --DRVFL, --EVAL, --TOX, --TOXGR, --SEV, --DTHREL, --LLOQ.
