EMDN J05: Brachytherapy Implantable Devices
Complete hierarchy for EMDN group J05 in category J (Active-Implantable 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.

How J05 is structured
The Brachytherapy Implantable Devices branch runs 1 level deep. Every code below is terminal.
0 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 1 is an “- Accessories” 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.
