MII SPECIFICATION V1.4
Rev.: 01 Rev.date: 2020.01.09 Author: EM Prj: MA1 Code: MO49

Purpose and scope


This document describes the native data exchange interface supported by Maestro to allow
interoperation with Third-Party Applications (TPAs), specified as the Maestro Interoperability
Interface (MII).

Protocol version history

MII rev. 1.4

• Supported by Maestro 1.12.0.


• New features: Tympanometry and Acoustic reflexes exams are now supported in XML
export.
• Changes:
o Added <UnitOfMeasure> tag in XML export of Speech audiometry exam.
o Updated Speech Audiometry Element Syntax to revision 2
• Bugfixes: none
• Known bugs: none
• Notes: support for earlier MII versions has been dropped in Maestro 1.12.0. Upgrading
Maestro to 1.12.0 will require TPAs to adopt MII v1.14.

MII rev. 1.3

• Supported by Maestro 1.4.0.


• New features: All exam types are now supported when a PDF report is requested.
• Changes:
o <AllowPureToneAudiometry> and <AllowSpeechAudiometry> tags have been
dropped. Which exam types are allowed during the Maestro session are now
dependant on the value of the <ReportFormat> tag
o Added <dateTime> field to PuretoneAudiometryExam and SpeechAudiometryExam
elements in XML report files
o Added new exam types to enum “Exam” in the Result files.
• Bugfixes: none
• Known bugs: none
• Notes: support for earlier MII versions has been dropped in Maestro 1.4.0. Upgrading
Maestro to 1.4.0 will require TPAs to adopt MII v1.3.

MII SPECIFICATION V1.4
Rev.: 01 Rev.date: 2020.01.09 Author: EM Prj: MA1 Code: MO49

MII rev. 1.2

• Supported by Maestro 1.3.1 onwards.


• New features: none.
• Bugfixes: arbitrary alphanumeric strings for the Patient ID field are now correctly handled
during the XML report generation.
• Known bugs: none.
• Notes: support for MII v1.1 has been dropped in Maestro 1.3.1. Upgrading Maestro to 1.3.1
will require TPAs to adopt MII v1.2. The only modification required for converting MII v1.1
Request files over to v1.2 is to set “2” as the value for the VersionMinor attribute of the MII
tag. Accordingly, it is good practice for TPAs to check for the VersionMinor value when
parsing Result and Report files.

MII rev. 1.1

• Supported by Maestro 1.0.4 – 1.3.0. Support has been dropped in Maestro 1.3.1.
• First officially supported revision of the protocol.
• Known bugs: due to an error in the MaestroReport_v1.1.xsd file, Maestro only saves the
report when the Patient ID field contains a numeric value. Specifying a generic alphanumeric
string causes Maestro to fail during the report generation.
• Notes: Generic alphanumeric values for the Patient ID field were listed as supported in the
rev1.1 technical specification, but an error in the Maestro Report schema file
(MaestroReport_v1.1.xsd) actually caused Maestro to fail when a non-numeric ID had been
specified in the Request file.

MII Availability
The MII protocol is only supported by Maestro when it is being run in Standalone mode.
Interoperability with third party applications is not available when Maestro is installed in NOAH or
Database mode.

MII workflow
Interaction between Maestro and TPAs is accomplished by passing an MII Request file to Maestro
at start-up time. Maestro then processes the file and configures itself to serve the request. When
the operator closes Maestro, an MII Result file is generated for the TPA to consume, detailing the

File name: MII_Specification_V1.4.docx Page: 4 of 18


MII SPECIFICATION V1.4
Rev.: 01 Rev.date: 2020.01.09 Author: EM Prj: MA1 Code: MO49

results of the operator actions in the current session. Both MII Request and Result files are xml files
conforming to the MII specification below.

Command line interface


To tell Maestro to open an MII Request file at startup, a single parameter must be passed on the
command line, specifying the name of the Request file to use. The syntax of the command is as
follows:
Maestro.exe /mii filename.mii

where filename.mii specifies the full path to the Request file. The directory containing the Request
file must be writable by the current user.

The operator is then expected to perform an examination on the patient, save the medical report
and close Maestro.

SYNCHRONIZATION
When Maestro is launched with the /mii parameter, it immediately creates a lock file in the folder
containing the MII file. The lock file has the same name as the specified MII Request file and ends
with the .lock extension. When Maestro is closed by the operator, it first writes the MII Result file
to disk (along with the reports, if any exams have been performed) and then removes the lock file.
Thus, the calling software should wait on the lock file and only access the Result file after the lock
file has been deleted.

The duty to remove the Result file and the exam report when they are no longer needed is left to
the TPA.

MII file syntax


Valid MII files must conform to the XML document standard. All files begin with a header line as the
first line. After the XML header, there must be one (and only one) <MII>…</MII> root element:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<MII versionMajor=”1” versionMinor=”4”>

</MII>

The versionMajor and versionMinor attributes must be populated with the revision number of
the MII specification that the MII file is conforming to. The values needed for versionMajor and

Rev.: 01 Rev.date: 2020.01.09 Author: EM Prj: MA1 Code: MO49

versionMinor to refer to the revision of the specification described in this document are “1” and
“4”, respectively.

Inside the <MII> record, either a <Request> or a <Result> element is allowed, depending on the
MII file type.

Please refer to the following sections for an introduction to the elements allowed inside MII Request
and Result files. For a formal specification of the structure and syntax of MII files please refer to the
MII XSD schema definition attached to this document. Sample Request and Result files are also
available in Appendix A and B.

MII Request files


MII Request files must contain a single <Request> element. The id attribute of the <Request>
element optionally specifies a number representing the Request itself. When specified, Maestro will
quote this value in the corresponding id attribute of the <Result> element in the Result file. This
feature is provided for the convenience of the TPA, which can easily track request/result pairs by
using unique IDs for each request.

Inside a <Request> element, the following elements are allowed:

MII Result files


MII Result files contain a single <Result> element. The id attribute of the <Result> element always
corresponds to the id attribute of the <Request> element in the Request file.

Inside a <Result> element, only one or more <Report> elements are allowed. Each of them
describes the location of an exam report file on disk, its format and contents.

The elements allowed inside a <Report> element are:

(See Support Notes for Maestro 1.12)

In case two or more exams have been performed during a single session, the behavior of Maestro
depends on the value specified for the <AggregateReports> element in the Request file. If
<AggregateReports> is set to true, only one <Report> element will be present in the Result file,
and all exams performed will be listed in its <Exam> elements. Accordingly, a single report file will
be written to disk, containing the findings of the whole exam session.

If <AggregateReports> is set to false, and two or more exams have been performed in the current
session, more <Report> elements will be present in the Result file, each containing a single <Exam>
element, and corresponding to a separate report file containing the findings of that single exam.

Support Notes for Maestro 1.12


Maestro 1.12 has dropped support for previous MII versions and only supports MII rev. 1.4.

Exams supported by Maestro 1.12


All exam types are supported during a Maestro session when the requested report type is PDF, but
there are some limitations when the requested report type is XML, depending on the release of
Maestro.

Maestro 1.12 only supports exporting pure tone and speech audiometries, tympanometries and
acoustic reflexes in XML format. All other exam types are disabled and cannot be performed if an
XML export has been requested via MII.

Languages supported by Maestro 1.12


Values recognized by Maestro 1.12 for the <Language> tag are: en, it, de, fr, es, tr, pl, zh, ja, ko, pt,
