How S01 is structured

17
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
10
branch headings, not selectable
12
name a specific device type
29%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Devices for Sterilisation and Packaging (Excluding Cat. D - Z) branch runs 3 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 17 codes marked terminal.

5 terminal codes are “- Other” entries, 29% 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 S0101 (Sterilisation Pouches), holding 5 of the 17 terminal codes.
