R5: DeviceDefinition.material (new:BackboneElement)


Optional Extension Element - found in all resources.

ShortR5: A substance used to create the material(s) of which the device is made (new)Optional Extensions Element
Comments

Element DeviceDefinition.material is not mapped to FHIR STU3, since FHIR R5 DeviceDefinition is not mapped. Element DeviceDefinition.material has no mapping targets in FHIR STU3. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element).

An Extension


May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. In order 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.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

            Element DeviceDefinition.material.allergenicIndicator is part of an existing definition because parent element DeviceDefinition.material requires a cross-version extension. Element DeviceDefinition.material.allergenicIndicator is not mapped to FHIR STU3, since FHIR R5 DeviceDefinition is not mapped. Element DeviceDefinition.material.allergenicIndicator has no mapping targets in FHIR STU3. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element).

            Definition

            May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. In order 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.

            There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

            • value @ url
            • 32. Extension.extension:allergenicIndicator.url
              Definition

              Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

              The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.
