Which H01 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?

73 of the 111 codes listed under H01 (Surgical Sutures) are terminal and can be selected. The other 38 are branch headings that cannot.

How deep is the H01 hierarchy?

The H01 branch runs 5 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is H0102 (Non-Absorbable Sutures), which holds 39 of the 73 terminal codes.

How many H01 codes are catch-all entries?

9 terminal codes under H01 are "- Other" entries, 12% of the branch. The remaining 64 name a specific device type.

EMDN H01: Surgical Sutures

Complete hierarchy for EMDN group H01 in category H (Suture Devices): 73 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.

How H01 is structured

terminal codes, selectable in a device record

branch headings, not selectable

name a specific device type

12%

fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Surgical Sutures branch runs 5 levels deep. 38 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 73 codes marked terminal.

9 terminal codes are “- Other” entries, 12% 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 H0102 (Non-Absorbable Sutures), holding 39 of the 73 terminal codes.

Frequently asked questions

Which H01 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?: 73 of the 111 codes listed under H01 (Surgical Sutures) are terminal and can be selected. The other 38 are branch headings that cannot.
How deep is the H01 hierarchy?: The H01 branch runs 5 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is H0102 (Non-Absorbable Sutures), which holds 39 of the 73 terminal codes.
How many H01 codes are catch-all entries?: 9 terminal codes under H01 are "- Other" entries, 12% of the branch. The remaining 64 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.
