8.15 Resource DeviceDefinition - Content

Orders and Observations

Work Group

Maturity Level: 1

Trial Use

Security Category: Anonymous

Compartments: Not linked to any defined compartments

The characteristics, operational status and capabilities of a medical-related component of a medical device.

8.15.1 Scope and Usage

The DeviceDefinition resource is used to describe the characteristics and capabilities of a medical device. It also includes packaging information; For kits that can be assembled and repackaged, the packaging is defined at the kit level, but the custom repackaging of that kit is not covered.

8.15.2 Boundaries and Relationships

The DeviceDefinition resource contains the "catalog" definition of a device - whether that definition is authored by the regulatory entities, or it is a local definition that includes assembled device configurations. The DeviceDefinition allows defining hierarchical device configurations (devices as part of other devices).

Device vs deviceDefinition: The Device resource is meant to refer to a physical instance of a device - hence having attributes like lot number, patient, location, which the DeviceDefinition resource does not have.

8.15.3 Background and Context

8.15.4 References

This resource is referenced by AdministrableProductDefinition, CatalogEntry, ClinicalUseIssue, Device, itself, ObservationDefinition and RegulatedAuthorization.

This resource does not implement any patterns.
