How K01 is structured

45
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
6
branch headings, not selectable
38
name a specific device type
16%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Endotherapy Devices branch runs 3 levels deep. 6 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 45 codes marked terminal.

5 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 2 are “- Accessories” entries, 16% 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 K0102 (Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery Instruments, Single-Use), holding 26 of the 45 terminal codes.

Frequently asked questions

Which K01 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
45 of the 51 codes listed under K01 (Endotherapy Devices) are terminal and can be selected. The other 6 are branch headings that cannot.
How deep is the K01 hierarchy?
The K01 branch runs 3 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is K0102 (Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery Instruments, Single-Use), which holds 26 of the 45 terminal codes.
How many K01 codes are catch-all entries?
5 terminal codes under K01 are "- Other" entries and 2 are "- Accessories" entries, 16% of the branch. The remaining 38 name a specific device type.
