This resource identifies an instance or a A type of a manufactured item that is used in the provision of healthcare without being substantially changed through that activity. The device may be a medical or non-medical device. Medical devices include durable (reusable) medical equipment, implantable devices, as well as disposable equipment used for diagnostic, treatment, and research for healthcare and public health. Non-medical devices may include items such as a machine, cellphone, computer, application, etc.

Allows institutions to track their devices.

Unique instance identifiers assigned to a device by manufacturers other organizations or owners.

The barcode string from a barcode present on a device label or package may identify the instance, include names given to the device in local usage, or may identify the type of device. If the identifier identifies the type of device, Device.type element should be used. For UDI , this element corresponds

The reference to the variable portion of the UDI that identifies definition for the serial number of a specific device. See UDI mappings for a complete mapping of UDI parts to Device.

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.

UDI may identify an unique instance of a device, or it may only identify the type of the device. See UDI mappings for a complete mapping of UDI parts to Device.

The device identifier (DI) is a mandatory, fixed portion of a UDI that identifies the labeler and the specific version or model of a device.

Name of device as used in labeling or catalog. Organization that is charged with issuing UDIs for devices. For example, the US FDA issuers include :

1. GS1: http://hl7.org/fhir/NamingSystem/gs1-di,
2. HIBCC: http://hl7.org/fhir/NamingSystem/hibcc-dI,
3. ICCBBA for blood containers: http://hl7.org/fhir/NamingSystem/iccbba-blood-di,
4. ICCBA for other devices: http://hl7.org/fhir/NamingSystem/iccbba-other-di.

The identity of the authoritative source for UDI generation within a jurisdiction. All UDIs are globally unique within a single namespace. namespace with the appropriate repository uri as the system. For example, UDIs of devices managed in the U.S. by the FDA, the value is http://hl7.org/fhir/NamingSystem/fda-udi.

Allows a recipient of a UDI to know which database will contain the UDI-associated metadata.

The full UDI carrier of the Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) technology representation of the barcode string as printed on the packaging of the device - E.g e.g., a barcode or RFID. Because of limitations on character sets in XML and the need to round-trip JSON data through XML, AIDC Formats SHALL be base64 encoded.

The AIDC form of UDIs should be scanned or otherwise used for the identification of the device whenever possible to minimize errors in records resulting from manual transcriptions. If separate barcodes for DI and PI are present, concatenate the string with DI first and in order of human readable expression on label.

If separate barcodes for DI and PI are present, concatenate the string with DI first and in order of human readable expression on label.

A coded entry to indicate how the data was entered.

Supports a way to distinguish hand entered from machine read data.

Status of the Device availability.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains the codes inactive and entered-in-error that mark the device (record)as not currently valid.

Code or identifier to identify a kind Reason for the dtatus of device. the Device availability.

Lot number assigned The distinct identification string as required by the manufacturer. regulation for a human cell, tissue, or cellular and tissue-based product.

A name of the manufacturer.

The date and time when the device was manufactured.

The date and time beyond which this device is no longer valid or should not be used (if applicable).

Lot number assigned by the manufacturer.

The "model" is an identifier serial number assigned by the manufacturer to identify organization when the product by its type. device was manufactured.

Alphanumeric Maximum 20.

This number is shared by represents the all devices sold manufacturer's name of the device as provided by the same type. device, from a UDI label, or by a person describing the Device. This typically would be used when a person provides the name(s) or when the device represents one of the names available from DeviceDefinition.
