Existing Wording: For UDI, this element corresponds to the UDI device identifier (DI) part. See UDI mappings for a complete mapping of UDI parts to Device.

Comment:

Type is used for both DI and Device Type (e.g., coded concept to categorize the device) and both may be sent when UDI information is sent. Cardinality is 1..1 and they are not exact "translations" of each other.

The DI should have its own element - it is not a type code versus a string value to identify the device

Summary:

DI should have its own type element
