DeviceComponents

Describes the characteristics, operational status and capabilities of a medical-related component of a medical device (for example glucometers or insulin pumps).

The DeviceComponent resource is used to describe the characteristics, operational status and capabilities of a medical-related component of a medical device. It can be a physical component that is integrated inside the device, a removable physical component,or a non-physical component that allows physiological measurement data and its derived data to be grouped in a hierarchical information organization.


phd-devicecomponent

Describes the characteristics, operational status and capabilities of a medical-related component of a medical device (for example glucometers or insulin pumps).

The characteristics of the devices are defined in the DeviceComponent.productionSpecification which is of cardinality (0..*) which means we can have more than one characteristics of the device represented.

example :


    "productionSpecification":  [
        {
            "specType": {
                "coding":  [ // The code here defines the characteristics of the device like serial no, model no, model name, manufacturer etc.,
                    {
                        "system": "http://hl7.org/fhir/specification-type",
                        "code": "serial-number",
                        "display": "Serial Number"
                    }
                ]
            },
            "productionSpec": "450274815" // This field stores the actual value of the device characteristics defined above.
        }

The possible device characteristics that are stored using DeviceComponent.productionSpecification are below :
