The Description and its associated Concept are in current<br />

use.<br />

The Description has been withdrawn without a specified<br />

reason.<br />

The Description has been withdrawn from current use<br />

because it duplicates another description containing the same<br />

term (or a very similar term) associated with the same<br />

Concept.<br />

The Description has been withdrawn from current use<br />

because this Term is no longer in general clinical use as a<br />

label for the associated Concept.<br />

The Description has been withdrawn as the Term contains<br />

errors.<br />

The Description is a valid Description of a Concept which has<br />

"limited" status (i.e. the Concept has ConceptStatus = 6).<br />

The Description has been withdrawn as the Term should not<br />

refer to this concept.<br />

The Description is a valid Description of a Concept which has<br />

been made non-current (i.e. the Concept has ConceptStatus<br />

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10).<br />

The Description has been moved to an extension, to a<br />

different extension, or to the International <strong>Release</strong>. A<br />

reference will indicate the namespace to which the description<br />

has been moved.<br />

The Description will be moved to an extension, to a different<br />

extension, or to the International <strong>Release</strong>. A reference will<br />

indicate the namespace to which the description has been<br />

moved when the recipient organization confirms the move<br />

(Future Use).<br />

A Description is only marked as current (DescriptionStatus = 0) if the associated Concept is also current<br />

(ConceptStatus = 0).<br />

• A Concept made inactive (with ConceptStatus = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10) retains its previous current Descriptions<br />

but these are marked " Concept non-current" (DescriptionStatus = 8);<br />
