No. The MedTech service currently only supports the Azure Health Data Services FHIR service for the persistence of transformed device message data. The open-source version of the MedTech service supports the use of different FHIR services.

The MedTech service requires device and FHIR destination mappings to perform normalization and transformation processes on device message data. To learn how the MedTech service transforms device message data into Observation resources, see [Understand the MedTech service device message data transformation](understand-service.md).

The MedTech service buffers Observation resources created during the transformation stage and provides near real-time processing. However, this buffer can potentially delay the persistence of Observation resources to the FHIR service up to five minutes.

No. The MedTech service doesn't back up the device messages that is sent to the event hub. The event hub owner controls the device message retention period within their event hub, which can be from one to 90 days. Event hubs can be deployed in [three different service tiers](../../event-hubs/event-hubs-quotas.md?source=recommendations#basic-vs-standard-vs-premium-vs-dedicated-tiers). Message retention limits are tier-dependent: Basic one day, Standard 1-7 days, Premium 90 days. If the device message data is successfully processed by the MedTech service, it's persisted in the FHIR service, and the FHIR service backup policy applies.
