    Description

      Currently, issues are being considered that suggest using Device.property for intended use and instructions for use text. Since FHIR generally frowns upon key-value pair lists, especially when we can identify some likely keys, would it make sense to add specific elements to Device and/or DeviceProperty.

      Alternatively, should we determine that tracking those values is out of the 80%-use case, and, rather than capture them in `property`, define standard extensions for these elements?
