Device

Trial Use 2 Specialized — Devices

This resource describes the properties (regulated, has real time clock, etc.), adminstrative (manufacturer name, model number, serial number, firmware, etc.), and type (knee replacement, blood pressure cuff, MRI, etc.) of a physical unit (these values do not change much within a given module, for example the serail number, manufacturer name, and model number). An actual unit may consist of several modules in a distinct hierarchy and these are represented by multiple Device resources and bound through the 'parent' element.
