Description
Match supplied equipment-record codes under an explicit case policy.
Care and training records use task identifiers, source labels, counts, time intervals, observations, and accounting bases. Documentation support, actual delivery, and clinical quality are different questions. A local record rule or budget should be interpreted according to its explicit inclusion and denominator conventions.
Match supplied equipment-record codes under an explicit case policy.
When to use this tool
Use Assistive Transfer Record Equipment Code when you need this care-record, observation, training, supply, time, or accounting component.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter recordCode, inventoryCodes, retiredCodes, caseSensitive. Keep parallel arrays aligned. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read present, retired, normalizedCode. Inspect present, retired before interpreting the associated values.
Require nonempty recordCode. Preserve it if caseSensitive, otherwise uppercase both it and every inventory/retired code. Return normalizedCode plus independent present and retired membership flags.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| recordCode | Record Code | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| inventoryCodes | Inventory Codes | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| retiredCodes | Retired Codes | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| caseSensitive | Case Sensitive | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| present | Present | Required. Boolean. |
| retired | Independent supplied retired-code membership; can coexist with present=true. | Required. Boolean. |
| normalizedCode | Normalized Code | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- A code can be both present and retired. Case folding does not authenticate equipment, establish maintenance status, confirm availability, or authorize a safe assisted transfer or clinical use.
- 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 authenticated records and the intended care, inventory, or training protocol for a full assessment. Verify source support, counting rules, time bases, and any contractual or consent conditions independently.
