## Union of http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/order-catalog/StructureDefinition/LabSpecimenDefinition and http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/order-catalog/StructureDefinition/LabSpecimenDefinition

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles Laboratory IVD Specimen Definition (http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/order-catalog/StructureDefinition/LabSpecimenDefinition) and Laboratory IVD Specimen Definition (http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/order-catalog/StructureDefinition/LabSpecimenDefinition). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
