      Change definition of Procedure.device from "A device change during the procedure." to "A device that is implanted, removed or otherwise manipulated (calibration, battery replacement, fitting a prosthesis, attaching a wound-vac,?etc.) as a focal portion of the Procedure."

      Add usage notes to Procedure.used: "For devices, these are devices that are incidental to or used to perform the procedure - scalpels, gauze, endoscopes, etc. ?Devices that are the focus of the procedure should appear in Procedure.device instead."

      Comment:

      Procedure.device: definition needs to make it clear that it works for devices that are implanted as well, since the device.action allows implanted. Maybe combine device and used, and just make used another action type?
