Material (CDA Class) - Clinical Document Architecture v2.0.1-sd-202510-matchbox-patch

Logical Model: Material (CDA Class)

Official URL:http://hl7.org/cda/stds/core/StructureDefinition/Material Version:2.0.1-sd-202510-matchbox-patch
Active as of 2025-10-29 Computable Name:Material

A subtype of Entity that is inanimate and locationally independent. Materials are entities that are neither Living Subjects nor places. Manufactured or processed products are considered material, even if they originate as living matter. Materials come in a wide variety of physical forms and can pass through different states (ie. Gas, liquid, solid) while still retaining their physical composition and material characteristics. Clarify the meaning of "locationally independent"; suggest removing it and supplanting with first Usage Note sentence. Pharmaceutical substances (including active vaccines containing retarded virus), disposable supplies, durable equipment, implantable devices, food items (including meat or plant products), waste, traded goods.
