Parameters
resources[].equipment
{ type: string, status: available | connected | malfunctioning | removed, patientId?: Patient ID, site?: string, size?: string, measurementIds?: Observation ID[] }
Required for device resources
Covers vascular access, urinary/gastric tubes, invasive monitoring, and other authored devices.
resources[].equipment.placement
{ placedAtSeconds?: number, confirmation: unknown | confirmed | incorrect, note?: string }
Optional; omitted means unspecified
Separate placement time and authored confirmation from mere presence.
resources[].equipment.capabilities
string[]
Optional; default []
Named capabilities referenced by procedure prerequisites or environment requirements.
Behavior and validation
- Connected and malfunctioning patient devices require patientId. Measurements are observations with their own units and times; they are not automatically equivalent to noninvasive measurements.
- Removed devices remain in event history. A replacement is a different device instance, even when the same resource template is reused.
