      Not Persuasive because a Procedure uses a specific Device.  Even if the identifier is not known, it is still appropriate to reference a Device per FHIR-38674, which includes OO agreement that when referring to a specific instance even without specific instance details, it should be clear that we use a Device, not a DeviceDefinition.

      Alternatively, Procedure.used also supports using a CodeableConcept (to represent the type of device).
