Hierarchies here run up to 5 levels below a group code, and 32% of the category’s terminal codes are “- Other” or “- Accessories” fallbacks rather than named device types.
Frequently asked questions
- How many codes are in EMDN category J?
- Category J (Active-Implantable Devices) holds 116 terminal codes spread across 8 groups. Terminal codes are the ones a EUDAMED device record accepts. EMDN v2026.
- Which J group has the most codes?
- J01 (Cardiac Functionality Implantable Devices), with 55 terminal codes, or 47% of everything in category J. At the other end, 1 group is a single terminal code with no hierarchy below it.
- How much of category J is catch-all codes?
- 37 of the 116 terminal codes in category J are "- Other" or "- Accessories" entries, 32% of the category. Those are residual slots for devices the named codes do not cover, so it is worth ruling out the specific codes in a group before settling on one.
