This resource records the use of a healthcare-related device by a patient. The record is the result of a report of use by the patient, another provider, or a related person. The resource can be used to note the use of an assistive device such as a wheelchair or hearing aid, a contraceptive such as an intra-uterine device, or other implanted devices such as a pacemaker.

This resource is different from DeviceRequest which records a request to use the device. This also is distinct from the Procedure resource which may describe the implantation or explantation of a device.
