EMDN A08: Nutrition and Infusion Bags and Containers, Single-Use

Complete hierarchy for EMDN group A08 in category A (Devices for Administration, Withdrawal and Collection): 8 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 A08 is structured

8
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
3
branch headings, not selectable
4
name a specific device type
50%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Nutrition and Infusion Bags and Containers, Single-Use branch runs 2 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 8 codes marked terminal.

4 terminal codes are “- Other” entries, 50% 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 A0801 (Nutrition Bags and Containers, Single-Use), holding 3 of the 8 terminal codes.

Frequently asked questions

Which A08 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
8 of the 11 codes listed under A08 (Nutrition and Infusion Bags and Containers, Single-Use) are terminal and can be selected. The other 3 are branch headings that cannot.
How deep is the A08 hierarchy?
The A08 branch runs 2 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is A0801 (Nutrition Bags and Containers, Single-Use), which holds 3 of the 8 terminal codes.
How many A08 codes are catch-all entries?
4 terminal codes under A08 are "- Other" entries, 50% of the branch. The remaining 4 name a specific device type.

Not sure which level to stop at, or which of two plausible codes to submit? The guide to choosing an EMDN code walks the decision level by level, with a worked example and the mistakes that get a EUDAMED registration rejected.
