      Motion to replace the name types with the following three name types, thus removing all others not in this list below:

      registered-name the term assigned to a medical device by the entity who registers or submits information about it to a jurisdiction or its databases. This may be considered the manufacturer assigned name (e.g., brand name assigned by the labeler or manufacturer in US, or device name assigned by the manufacturer in EU) and may also be synonymous with proprietary name or trade name of the device.
      user-friendly-name the term that generically describes the device by a name as assigned by the manufacturer that is recognized by lay person.  This common or generic name may be printed on the package it came in or some combination of that name with the model number, serial number, or other attribute that makes the name easy to understand for the user of that device. It is often exposed in communicating devices transport protocols. It is provided to help users identify the device when reported in discovery operations.
      patient-reported-name the term used by the patient associated with the device when describing the device, for example "knee implant", when documented as a self-reported device.

    Description

      The definition of the codes are poor, and need improving

      I do not know whether my use case is covered by the existing codes, since their definitions are poor, but I don't think it is the name for a device where the device is an installed software application e.g. "Acme EHR at Clinic BestCare"
