EMDN A09: Organ Preservation Solutions and Containers
Complete hierarchy for EMDN group A09 in category A (Devices for Administration, Withdrawal and Collection): 5 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.
A09Organ Preservation Solutions and ContainersA0901Organ Collection ContainersRegistered in EUDAMED under MDR with this code, the 44 devices are split across classes (as of 8 Sep 2026).
- 38 Class IIa (86.3%)
- 6 Class I (13.6%)
Registered in EUDAMED under MDD with this code: 36 of 36 devices carry Class IIa on their registration (as of 8 Sep 2026).
- 36 Class IIa (100.0%)
Counted once per primary UDI-DI, using the class on the registration. The class of a device comes from the MDR and IVDR classification rules for its intended purpose, so a code is evidence of how others registered, not a determination. MDD and IVDD classes are the directive classification and can differ under MDR or IVDR.

How A09 is structured
The Organ Preservation Solutions and Containers branch runs 2 levels deep. One entry below is a branch heading that groups other codes rather than naming a device, so a classification has to resolve all the way down to one of the 5 codes marked terminal.
2 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 1 is an “- Accessories” entry, 60% 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.
Frequently asked questions
- Which A09 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- 5 of the 6 codes listed under A09 (Organ Preservation Solutions and Containers) are terminal and can be selected. The other 1 is a branch heading that cannot.
- How deep is the A09 hierarchy?
- The A09 branch runs 2 levels below the group code.
- How many A09 codes are catch-all entries?
- 2 terminal codes under A09 are "- Other" entries and 1 is an "- Accessories" entry, 60% of the branch. The remaining 2 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.
