How R02 is structured

22
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
6
branch headings, not selectable
17
name a specific device type
23%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Breathing Circuits and Catheter Mounts 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 22 codes marked terminal.

5 terminal codes are “- Other” entries, 23% 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 R0201 (Respiratory Circuits and Kits), holding 12 of the 22 terminal codes.

Frequently asked questions

Which R02 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
22 of the 28 codes listed under R02 (Breathing Circuits and Catheter Mounts) are terminal and can be selected. The other 6 are branch headings that cannot.
How deep is the R02 hierarchy?
The R02 branch runs 3 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is R0201 (Respiratory Circuits and Kits), which holds 12 of the 22 terminal codes.
How many R02 codes are catch-all entries?
5 terminal codes under R02 are "- Other" entries, 23% of the branch. The remaining 17 name a specific device type.
