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

Devices include durable (reusable) medical equipment, implantable devices, as well as disposable equipment used for diagnostic, treatment, and research for healthcare and public health, as well as devices such as a machine, cellphone, computer, software, application, etc. The DeviceDefinition resource is used to describe the common characteristics and capabilities of a device of a certain type or kind, e.g., a certain model or class of a device such as a x-ray model or personal wearable device model, whereas a Device resource documents an actual instance of a device such as the actual x-ray machine that is installed or the personal wearable device being worn.

Devices can also be subdivded as follows:

Implantable device

Patient-use device

The DeviceDefinition resource contains the "catalog" definition of a device - whether that definition is authored by the regulatory entities, manufacturer or it is a local definition that includes assembled device configurations. The DeviceDefinition regulatory entity and allows defining valid 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, operational status which the DeviceDefinition resource does not have.
