Description
Qualify an explicit sham-type code by study source.
Clinical and training records can preserve source-qualified point names, study design codes, device wording and reported hours. A record token does not identify an anatomical point or establish treatment effectiveness, and a printed expiry-date gap does not verify sterility or equipment suitability.
Qualify an explicit sham-type code by study source.
When to use this tool
Use Acupuncture Study Sham Type Code when you already have studyId, shamTypeCode, source and need to qualify an explicit sham-type code by study source.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter studyId, shamTypeCode, source. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter studyId, shamTypeCode, source using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| studyId | Study Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| shamTypeCode | Sham Type Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| source | Source | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

"input": {

"shamTypeCode": "S2",
"source": "Protocol v2"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"ST17\",\"S2\",\"Protocol v2\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without assessing sham validity or effects. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use original clinical, research, training and manufacturer records with the appropriate professional assessment. Local labels and calendar arithmetic do not guide treatment, locate points, select devices, establish efficacy or verify safe practice.
