Device concept sets are groupings of terms, codes, and concepts that represent medical devices used in healthcare. These concept sets are designed to standardize the classification and analysis of device-related data in healthcare research, ensuring that researchers can consistently identify, categorize, and analyze the use of medical devices across different healthcare settings and databases. Device concept sets can cover a wide range of medical devices, including implantable, diagnostic, therapeutic, surgical, or assistive devices. Concept sets for devices may include additional attributes, such as type, function, manufacturer, model or brand.
