How are others recording cuff size for blood pressure? I see a couple options for doing this in the BP US Core profile http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/2021Jan/StructureDefinition-us-core-blood-pressure.html
1) The observation resource has a reference to a Device. Inside Device resource, we could add the appropriate information in Device.property.type and Device.property.valueQuantity.
2) Alternatively, there are SNOMED value codes for this http://hl7.org/fhir/us/vitals/2020Sep/ValueSet-bpCuffSizeVS.html -- but am unsure where these could go.
3) There is also LOINC code (8358-4 -- this can be found under this panel: https://loinc.org/35094-2/)
Was wondering how others are recording cuff size, and where in the resource?

Here is a value set we are using (under development as Extension for Blood pressure-profiling) https://simplifier.net/hl7norwaynationalprofiles/nodomainvitalsignsobservationcuffsizeextension

We have this information model and this profile (R4 version in development) of Bloodpressure that includes a Cuff concept.
