fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Mechanical Infusion Systems, Single-Use branch runs 3 levels deep. 3 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 7 codes marked terminal.

1 terminal code is an “- Other” entry and 1 is an “- Accessories” entry, 29% 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.
