How R90 is structured

16
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
4
branch headings, not selectable
12
name a specific device type
25%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Respiratory and Anaesthesia Devices - Various 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 16 codes marked terminal.

2 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 2 are “- Accessories” entries, 25% 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 R9003 (Respiratory System Surgery Instruments, Single-Use), holding 3 of the 16 terminal codes.
