Proposed SNOMED CT hierarchy structure for aqueous humour drainage devices

Proposed SNOMED CT hierarchy structure for aqueous humour drainage devices

Following collaboration with @Ian Rodrigues and @Anthony Khawaja we propose a revised structure for aqueous humour drainage devices that accommodates newer technologies and prepares for the inclusion of branded products.

The first screenshot displays the current structure, followed by the proposed high-level framework and a more detailed breakdown of the subtypes. This revised structure is designed to accommodate branded devices.

Please review the proposal and provide any feedback, suggested revisions, or confirm your approval as appropriate.

Many thanks for you input.
