How L14 is structured
50
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
11
branch headings, not selectable
41
name a specific device type
18%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories
The ENT Instruments, Reusable branch runs 3 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 50 codes marked terminal.
9 terminal codes are “- Other” entries, 18% 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 L1490 (ENT Instruments, Reusable - Various), holding 14 of the 50 terminal codes.
