           be a period
      (collectedPeriod) if it's a timed collection (e.g. a 24 hour urine)    if there's only one container, then this value is the same

     than one container

   Type is a loosely defined field because there is such a lot of variation in
     how it is used.

     how it is used.

   The principal variation is how much information that could be represented elsewhere
     is also
   represented here. For instance, here's some possible types:
     lithium heparin plasma   (+ .container.additive) (e.g. SNOMED CT 446272009)
     transfusion bag of blood (+ container.type)
     Peritoneal lavage        (+ collection.bodySite)

     is also
   represented here. For instance, here's some possible types:
     lithium heparin plasma   (+ .container.additive) (e.g. SNOMED CT 446272009)
     transfusion bag of blood (+ container.type)
     Peritoneal lavage        (+ collection.bodySite)

   If the type includes other fields, it would be normal not to populate the other
     fields

     fields
