## 1. Epistemic Architecture: Why IEEE 11073 and JSON/FHIR Must Be Replaced

1. **FHIR / JSON Serialization Hazards:** Transmitting clinical telemetry (infusion pump rates, arterial line pressure, ventilator tidal volumes) over JSON/FHIR requires dynamic memory allocation (`malloc`), recursive parsing, and garbage collection—strictly violating IEC 62304 Class C safety mandates.
2. **IEEE 11073 Complexity:** The Medical Device System (MDS) object architecture is so dense that medical devices require external gateway middleware, creating communication lag and latent synchronization errors in closed-loop ICU systems.

**SPDL-MED** formalizes physiological pharmacokinetic and respiratory dynamics as machine-provable barrier certificates.
