      For DeviceDefinition, Not Persuasive because a AdverseEvent 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.

      For DeviceUsage, include it as proposed.

    Description

      FHIR R5 introduces the new component contributingFactor. ItemReference supports reference to (Condition | Observation | AllergyIntolerance | FamilyMemberHistory | Immunization | Procedure | Device | DocumentReference | MedicationAdministration | MedicationUsage). 

      We suggest the addition of a Reference to DeviceDefinition and DeviceUsage.

      Example: Device Definition captures the details of the type of device that may be associated.  For example, a central line device may have contributed to a central line infection. DeviceUsage provides details such as how long the device was implanted in the patient.
