That's a good idea! There's actually a paper [1] that does something very similar with the "device description" and "indications for use" sections. They use Word2Vec on these sections and compare similarity.
Fig 2 [2] shows a graph of similarity of all devices to their predicate for each year.
However the discussion sections mentions difficulty with using Word2Vec because of the jargon used to describe these devices, so I'm not totally sure how to interpret the graph.
