Which P05 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?

9 of the 12 codes listed under P05 (Oesophageal and Gastrointestinal Prostheses) are terminal and can be selected. The other 3 are branch headings that cannot.

How deep is the P05 hierarchy?

The P05 branch runs 2 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is P0501 (Oesophageal Prostheses), which holds 2 of the 9 terminal codes.

How many P05 codes are catch-all entries?

4 terminal codes under P05 are "- Other" entries, 44% of the branch. The remaining 5 name a specific device type.

fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Oesophageal and Gastrointestinal Prostheses branch runs 2 levels deep. 3 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 9 codes marked terminal.

4 terminal codes are “- Other” entries, 44% 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 P0501 (Oesophageal Prostheses), holding 2 of the 9 terminal codes.
