How Q03 is structured
The ENT Devices branch runs 3 levels deep. 8 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 32 codes marked terminal.
9 terminal codes are “- Other” entries, 28% 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 Q0303 (ENT Surgery Instruments, Single-Use), holding 17 of the 32 terminal codes.
Frequently asked questions
- Which Q03 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- 32 of the 40 codes listed under Q03 (ENT Devices) are terminal and can be selected. The other 8 are branch headings that cannot.
- How deep is the Q03 hierarchy?
- The Q03 branch runs 3 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is Q0303 (ENT Surgery Instruments, Single-Use), which holds 17 of the 32 terminal codes.
- How many Q03 codes are catch-all entries?
- 9 terminal codes under Q03 are "- Other" entries, 28% of the branch. The remaining 23 name a specific device type.
