How K03 is structured
The Arthroscopy Devices, Single-Use branch runs 2 levels deep. One entry below is a branch heading that groups other codes rather than naming a device, so a classification has to resolve all the way down to one of the 16 codes marked terminal.
2 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 1 is an “- Accessories” entry, 19% 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 K03 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- 16 of the 17 codes listed under K03 (Arthroscopy Devices, Single-Use) are terminal and can be selected. The other 1 is a branch heading that cannot.
- How deep is the K03 hierarchy?
- The K03 branch runs 2 levels below the group code.
- How many K03 codes are catch-all entries?
- 2 terminal codes under K03 are "- Other" entries and 1 is an "- Accessories" entry, 19% of the branch. The remaining 13 name a specific device type.
