EMDN G04: Orally Administered Gastrointestinal Devices
Complete hierarchy for EMDN group G04 in category G (Gastrointestinal Devices): 3 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.

- 11 Class III (1.3%)
- 1 Class I (0.1%)
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 G04 is structured
The Orally Administered Gastrointestinal Devices branch runs 1 level deep. Every code below is terminal.
1 terminal code is an “- Other” entry, 33% 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 G04 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- All 3 codes listed under G04 (Orally Administered Gastrointestinal Devices) are terminal, so any of them can be selected in a device record.
- How deep is the G04 hierarchy?
- The G04 branch runs 1 level below the group code.
- How many G04 codes are catch-all entries?
- 1 terminal code under G04 is an "- Other" entry, 33% of the branch. The remaining 2 name a specific device type.
