How B01 is structured

28
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
10
branch headings, not selectable
19
name a specific device type
32%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Blood Bags and Kits branch runs 4 levels deep. 10 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 28 codes marked terminal.

8 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 1 is an “- Accessories” entry, 32% 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 B0101 (Blood Collection Bags and Kits), holding 13 of the 28 terminal codes.
