EMDN L13: Robotic Surgery Instruments, Reusable
Complete hierarchy for EMDN group L13 in category L (Reusable Surgical Instruments): 9 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.

- 15 Class IIa (68.1%)
- 7 Class IIb (31.8%)
Counted once per primary UDI-DI, using the class on the registration. The class of a device comes from the MDR and IVDR classification rules for its intended purpose, so a code is evidence of how others registered, not a determination.
Registered in EUDAMED under MDR with this code, the 120 devices are split across classes (as of 8 Sep 2026).
- 88 Class IIa (73.3%)
- 32 Class IIb (26.6%)
Counted once per primary UDI-DI, using the class on the registration. The class of a device comes from the MDR and IVDR classification rules for its intended purpose, so a code is evidence of how others registered, not a determination.

How L13 is structured
The Robotic Surgery Instruments, Reusable branch runs 1 level deep. Every code below is terminal.
1 terminal code is an “- Other” entry, 11% 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 L13 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- All 9 codes listed under L13 (Robotic Surgery Instruments, Reusable) are terminal, so any of them can be selected in a device record.
- How deep is the L13 hierarchy?
- The L13 branch runs 1 level below the group code.
- How many L13 codes are catch-all entries?
- 1 terminal code under L13 is an "- Other" entry, 11% of the branch. The remaining 8 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.
