How A10 is structured

44
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
21
branch headings, not selectable
39
name a specific device type
11%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Abdominal Ostomy Devices branch runs 4 levels deep. 21 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 44 codes marked terminal.

5 terminal codes are “- Other” entries, 11% 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 A1002 (Abdominal Ostomy Devices, Two Piece), holding 16 of the 44 terminal codes.
