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

23
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
0
branch headings, not selectable
21

9%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

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
