EMDN R03: Respiratory Masks and Balloons, Single-Use and Reusable
Complete hierarchy for EMDN group R03 in category R (Respiratory and Anaesthesia Devices): 32 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.

How R03 is structured
The Respiratory Masks and Balloons, Single-Use and Reusable branch runs 4 levels deep. 10 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.
6 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 5 are “- Accessories” entries, 34% 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 R0301 (Respiratory Masks), holding 25 of the 32 terminal codes.
Frequently asked questions
- Which R03 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- 32 of the 42 codes listed under R03 (Respiratory Masks and Balloons, Single-Use and Reusable) are terminal and can be selected. The other 10 are branch headings that cannot.
- How deep is the R03 hierarchy?
- The R03 branch runs 4 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is R0301 (Respiratory Masks), which holds 25 of the 32 terminal codes.
- How many R03 codes are catch-all entries?
- 6 terminal codes under R03 are "- Other" entries and 5 are "- Accessories" entries, 34% of the branch. The remaining 21 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.
