      Indeed we are accommodatimg record tracking of implants ...adding implantation date/period as well. Also the Introduction to Device has been edited to describe the scope for the resource http://hl7-fhir.github.io/device.html. Also the procedure resource links the patient to the device. Device is an adminstrative thing and is usually pointed to by other resources.

      Comment:

      should clarify if this is something that will be removed and this is for tracking and inventory purposes. Other wise you are mixing devices and the implantation. Don't think this resource would accommodate record tracking of implants
