EMDN L19: Arthroscopic Surgery Instruments, Reusable
Complete hierarchy for EMDN group L19 in category L (Reusable Surgical Instruments): 23 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 L19 is structured
The Arthroscopic Surgery Instruments, Reusable branch runs 1 level deep. Every code below is terminal.
1 terminal code is an “- Other” entry and 1 is an “- Accessories” entry, 9% 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 L19 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- All 23 codes listed under L19 (Arthroscopic Surgery Instruments, Reusable) are terminal, so any of them can be selected in a device record.
- How deep is the L19 hierarchy?
- The L19 branch runs 1 level below the group code.
- How many L19 codes are catch-all entries?
- 1 terminal code under L19 is an "- Other" entry and 1 is an "- Accessories" entry, 9% of the branch. The remaining 21 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.
