DeviceDefinition

The characteristics, operational status and capabilities of a medical-related component of a medical device. If the element is present, it must have either a @value, an @id, or extensions

Fields​

DeviceDefinition.identifier ● [Identifier] list object​

Unique instance identifiers assigned to a device by the software, manufacturers, other organizations or owners. For example: handle ID.

DeviceDefinition.udiDeviceIdentifier ● [DeviceDefinitionUdiDeviceIdentifier] list object​

Unique device identifier (UDI) assigned to device label or package. Note that the Device may include multiple udiCarriers as it either may include just the udiCarrier for the jurisdiction it is sold, or for multiple jurisdictions it could have been sold.

DeviceDefinition.manufacturerString ● String scalar​

A name of the manufacturer. (choose any one of manufacturer*, but only one)

DeviceDefinition.manufacturerReference ● Reference object​

A name of the manufacturer. (choose any one of manufacturer*, but only one)

DeviceDefinition.deviceName ● [DeviceDefinitionDeviceName] list object​

A name given to the device to identify it.

DeviceDefinition.modelNumber ● String scalar​

The model number for the device.

DeviceDefinition.type ● CodeableConcept object​

What kind of device or device system this is.

DeviceDefinition.specialization ● [DeviceDefinitionSpecialization] list object​

The capabilities supported on a device, the standards to which the device conforms for a particular purpose, and used for the communication.

DeviceDefinition.version ● [String] list scalar​

The available versions of the device, e.g., software versions.

DeviceDefinition.safety ● [CodeableConcept] list object​

Safety characteristics of the device.

DeviceDefinition.shelfLifeStorage ● [ProductShelfLife] list object​

Shelf Life and storage information.

DeviceDefinition.physicalCharacteristics ● ProdCharacteristic object​

Dimensions, color etc.

DeviceDefinition.languageCode ● [CodeableConcept] list object​

Language code for the human-readable text strings produced by the device (all supported).

DeviceDefinition.capability ● [DeviceDefinitionCapability] list object​

Device capabilities.

DeviceDefinition.property ● [DeviceDefinitionProperty] list object​

The actual configuration settings of a device as it actually operates, e.g., regulation status, time properties.

DeviceDefinition.owner ● Reference object​

An organization that is responsible for the provision and ongoing maintenance of the device.

DeviceDefinition.contact ● [ContactPoint] list object​

Contact details for an organization or a particular human that is responsible for the device.

DeviceDefinition.url ● Uri scalar​

A network address on which the device may be contacted directly.

DeviceDefinition.onlineInformation ● Uri scalar​

Access to on-line information about the device.

DeviceDefinition.note ● [Annotation] list object​

Descriptive information, usage information or implantation information that is not captured in an existing element.

DeviceDefinition.quantity ● Quantity object​

The quantity of the device present in the packaging (e.g. the number of devices present in a pack, or the number of devices in the same package of the medicinal product).

DeviceDefinition.parentDevice ● Reference object​

The parent device it can be part of.

DeviceDefinition.material ● [DeviceDefinitionMaterial] list object​

A substance used to create the material(s) of which the device is made.

DeviceDefinition.text ● Narrative object​

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it clinically safe for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

DeviceDefinition.contained ● [Resource] list interface​

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

DeviceDefinition.extension ● [Extension] list object​

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

DeviceDefinition.modifierExtension ● [Extension] list object​

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element s descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

DeviceDefinition.id ● String scalar​

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

DeviceDefinition.meta ● Meta object​

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

DeviceDefinition.implicitRules ● Uri scalar​

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

DeviceDefinition.language ● String scalar​

The base language in which the resource is written.

Interfaces​

Resource interface​

This is the base resource type for everything.
