EMDN N02: Spinal Medullar System Devices
Complete hierarchy for EMDN group N02 in category N (Nervous and Medullary Systems Devices): 28 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.

- 53 Class IIa (81.5%)
- 12 Class IIb (18.4%)
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. MDD and IVDD classes are the directive classification and can differ under MDR or IVDR.

How N02 is structured
The Spinal Medullar System Devices branch runs 3 levels deep. 6 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 28 codes marked terminal.
7 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 4 are “- Accessories” entries, 39% 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 N0280 (Spinal Medullary System Devices - Accessories), holding 12 of the 28 terminal codes.
Frequently asked questions
- Which N02 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- 28 of the 34 codes listed under N02 (Spinal Medullar System Devices) are terminal and can be selected. The other 6 are branch headings that cannot.
- How deep is the N02 hierarchy?
- The N02 branch runs 3 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is N0280 (Spinal Medullary System Devices - Accessories), which holds 12 of the 28 terminal codes.
- How many N02 codes are catch-all entries?
- 7 terminal codes under N02 are "- Other" entries and 4 are "- Accessories" entries, 39% of the branch. The remaining 17 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.
