How C04 is structured
The Cardiovascular Guidewires branch runs 3 levels deep. 12 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 26 codes marked terminal.
9 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 1 is an “- Accessories” entry, 38% 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 C0401 (Coronary Artery Guidewires), holding 6 of the 26 terminal codes.
Frequently asked questions
- Which C04 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- 26 of the 38 codes listed under C04 (Cardiovascular Guidewires) are terminal and can be selected. The other 12 are branch headings that cannot.
- How deep is the C04 hierarchy?
- The C04 branch runs 3 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is C0401 (Coronary Artery Guidewires), which holds 6 of the 26 terminal codes.
- How many C04 codes are catch-all entries?
- 9 terminal codes under C04 are "- Other" entries and 1 is an "- Accessories" entry, 38% of the branch. The remaining 16 name a specific device type.
