EMDN L07: Cardiovascular Surgery Instruments, Reusable

Complete hierarchy for EMDN group L07 in category L (Reusable Surgical Instruments): 33 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 L07 is structured

33
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
11
branch headings, not selectable
23
name a specific device type
30%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Cardiovascular Surgery Instruments, Reusable branch runs 5 levels deep. 11 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 33 codes marked terminal.

10 terminal codes are “- Other” entries, 30% 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 L0708 (Vascular Surgery Instruments, Reusable), holding 25 of the 33 terminal codes.

Frequently asked questions

Which L07 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
33 of the 44 codes listed under L07 (Cardiovascular Surgery Instruments, Reusable) are terminal and can be selected. The other 11 are branch headings that cannot.
How deep is the L07 hierarchy?
The L07 branch runs 5 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is L0708 (Vascular Surgery Instruments, Reusable), which holds 25 of the 33 terminal codes.
How many L07 codes are catch-all entries?
10 terminal codes under L07 are "- Other" entries, 30% of the branch. The remaining 23 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.
