<a id="PackagedProductDefinition.containedItemQuantity"></a>

## PackagedProductDefinition.containedItemQuantity
A total of the complete count of contained items of a particular type/form, independent of sub-packaging or organization. This can be considered as the pack size. See also packaging.containedItem.amount (especially the long definition)

**Definition:** A total of the complete count of contained items of a particular type/form, independent of sub-packaging or organization. This can be considered as the pack size. This attribute differs from containedItem.amount in that it can give a single aggregated count of all tablet types in a pack, even when these are different manufactured items. For example a pill pack of 21 tablets plus 7 sugar tablets, can be denoted here as '28 tablets'. This attribute is repeatable so that the different item types in one pack type can be counted (e.g. a count of vials and count of syringes). Each repeat must have different units, so that it is clear what the different sets of counted items are, and it is not intended to allow different counts of similar items (e.g. not '2 tubes and 3 tubes'). Repeats are not to be used to represent different pack sizes (e.g. 20 pack vs. 50 pack) - which would be different instances of this resource.

Is this a part of the packaging (e.g. a cap or bottle stopper), rather than the packaging itself (e.g. a bottle or vial)

**Definition:** Is this a part of the packaging (e.g. a cap or bottle stopper), rather than the packaging itself (e.g. a bottle or vial). The latter type are designed be a container, but the former are not.

**Meaning if Missing:** If absent, it cannot be assumed that the item is packaging (a container) or a part of the packaging - it is just 'packaging'. Systems can sometimes infer this from the packaging.type (e.g. bottles are containers, bottle caps are not), or from the fact that a container will usually have other items within it (though it is possible that these exist but are not mentioned). Often the distinction is not critical - and can easily be understood by humans - but if that is necessary for machine processing it is recommended that this attribute is given a value.
