Which A02 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?

32 of the 45 codes listed under A02 (Syringes) are terminal and can be selected. The other 13 are branch headings that cannot.

How deep is the A02 hierarchy?

The A02 branch runs 5 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is A0201 (Single-Use Syringes), which holds 26 of the 32 terminal codes.

How many A02 codes are catch-all entries?

7 terminal codes under A02 are "- Other" entries and 1 is an "- Accessories" entry, 25% of the branch. The remaining 24 name a specific device type.

EMDN A02: Syringes

Complete hierarchy for EMDN group A02 in category A (Devices for Administration, Withdrawal and Collection): 32 terminal codes, EMDN v2026. Terminal codes are the ones accepted in a EUDAMED device record.

Registered classes, as of 8 Sep 2026. For each code with at least 20 registrations under a legislation, the chip shows how devices registered in EUDAMED under that code are classed, counted once per primary UDI-DI and kept separate for each legislation. It is not a determination. The class of a device comes from the MDR and IVDR classification rules for its intended purpose. MDD and IVDD classes are the directive classification and can differ from the class the same device would have under MDR or IVDR.

How A02 is structured

terminal codes, selectable in a device record

branch headings, not selectable

name a specific device type

25%

fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Syringes branch runs 5 levels deep. 13 entries below are branch headings that group other codes rather than naming a device, so a classification has to resolve all the way down to one of the 32 codes marked terminal.

7 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 1 is an “- Accessories” entry, 25% of the branch. An “- Other” code is the residual slot for devices its siblings do not name, so it is worth ruling out every specific sibling before settling on one.

The largest sub-branch is A0201 (Single-Use Syringes), holding 26 of the 32 terminal codes.

Frequently asked questions

Which A02 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?: 32 of the 45 codes listed under A02 (Syringes) are terminal and can be selected. The other 13 are branch headings that cannot.
How deep is the A02 hierarchy?: The A02 branch runs 5 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is A0201 (Single-Use Syringes), which holds 26 of the 32 terminal codes.
