Let’s take a product. It’s a box containing 2 syringes, 0.6ml each. It looks like this:

You can see full xml here (open it in debug mode in upper right corner).
Fsh file here.

In ISO standard:

In FHIR PackagedProductDefinition, we have containedItem, which is described as the number of items within this packaging (referring to units of presentation, rather than millilitres).

However, there is no place for the size of syringe in the ManufacturedItemDefinition, where it logically belongs.
It is also not clear in the spec how to define the size of a syringe/vial/tube etc in PackagedProductDefinition.

Proposal: either

1. have the size of the manufactured item in ManufacturedItemDefinition; or
2. Change the description of containedItem.amount so that it would include the size of the manufactured item.
