For the initial scope, this DeviceDefinition resource is only applicable to describe a single node in the containment tree that is produced by the context scanner in any medical device that implements or derives from the ISO/IEEE 11073 standard and that does not represent a metric. Examples for such a node are MDS, VMD, or Channel.

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

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.

The organization that assigns the identifier algorithm.

The jurisdiction to which the deviceIdentifier applies.

A name of the manufacturer or legal representative e.g. labeler. Whether this is the actual manufacturer or the labeler or responsible depends on implementation and jurisdiction.

The name or names of the device as given by the manufacturer.

A human-friendly name that is used to refer to the device - depending on the type, it can be the brand name, the common name or alias, or other.

The parent device it can be part of.

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

A substance that the device contains, may contain, or is made of - for example latex - to be used to determine patient compatibility. This is not intended to represent the composition of the device, only the clinically relevant materials.

Indicates an alternative material of the device.
