EMDN U03: Devices for Urethral, Ureteral and Nephrostomic Dilation

Complete hierarchy for EMDN group U03 in category U (Devices for Urogenital System): 8 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 U03 is structured

8
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
4
branch headings, not selectable
5
name a specific device type
38%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Devices for Urethral, Ureteral and Nephrostomic Dilation 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 8 codes marked terminal.

2 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 1 is an “- Accessories” entry, 38% 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 U0301 (Devices for Rigid Dilation of the Urinary Tract), holding 4 of the 8 terminal codes.

Frequently asked questions

Which U03 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
8 of the 12 codes listed under U03 (Devices for Urethral, Ureteral and Nephrostomic Dilation) are terminal and can be selected. The other 4 are branch headings that cannot.
How deep is the U03 hierarchy?
The U03 branch runs 3 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is U0301 (Devices for Rigid Dilation of the Urinary Tract), which holds 4 of the 8 terminal codes.
How many U03 codes are catch-all entries?
2 terminal codes under U03 are "- Other" entries and 1 is an "- Accessories" entry, 38% of the branch. The remaining 5 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.
