    732981002Actuation (unit of presentation)~Hub(In the context of drug administration, "Hub" in German often refers to the actuation or dose delivered by a medical device, such as a pump or a spray. In the case of an inhaler or nasal spray, a Hub refers to the quantity of medication released in one spray or actuation. For an insulin pump or other infusion devices, Hub can denote a specific unit of the medication delivered per pump cycle or actuation.)

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
