Is there anybody to clarify the Device.partNumber? I cannot understand this element and its usage in FHIR.

"Part number" is a common expression - meaning the catalog part number, i.e. an identifier for the device

And then, at least in the US, there is the UDI, the unique, traceable, identifier to the device used for things like device recalls, calibration due, etc.

Part number can coincide with the DI part of the UDI
