How L15 is structured
44
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
8
branch headings, not selectable
37
name a specific device type
16%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories
The Odontostomatology Instruments, Reusable branch runs 3 levels deep. 8 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 44 codes marked terminal.
7 terminal codes are “- Other” 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 L1590 (Odontostomatology Instruments, Reusable - Various), holding 25 of the 44 terminal codes.
