How R05 is structured

45%

fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Suction and Dilatation Systems for the Respiratory System branch runs 3 levels deep. 4 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 11 codes marked terminal.

3 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 2 are “- Accessories” entries, 45% 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 R0501 (Respiratory Suction Probes and Systems), holding 6 of the 11 terminal codes.

Frequently asked questions

Which R05 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?: 11 of the 15 codes listed under R05 (Suction and Dilatation Systems for the Respiratory System) are terminal and can be selected. The other 4 are branch headings that cannot.
How deep is the R05 hierarchy?: The R05 branch runs 3 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is R0501 (Respiratory Suction Probes and Systems), which holds 6 of the 11 terminal codes.
