How Q02 is structured

89
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
25
branch headings, not selectable
68
name a specific device type
24%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Ophthalmic Devices branch runs 5 levels deep. 25 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 89 codes marked terminal.

20 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 1 is an “- Accessories” entry, 24% 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 Q0210 (Corrective Optical Devices), holding 26 of the 89 terminal codes.

Frequently asked questions

Which Q02 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
89 of the 114 codes listed under Q02 (Ophthalmic Devices) are terminal and can be selected. The other 25 are branch headings that cannot.
How deep is the Q02 hierarchy?
The Q02 branch runs 5 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is Q0210 (Corrective Optical Devices), which holds 26 of the 89 terminal codes.
How many Q02 codes are catch-all entries?
20 terminal codes under Q02 are "- Other" entries and 1 is an "- Accessories" entry, 24% of the branch. The remaining 68 name a specific device type.
