EMDN U06: Urological Guidewires

Complete hierarchy for EMDN group U06 in category U (Devices for Urogenital System): 3 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.

  • U06Urological Guidewires
    • U0601Urological Guidewires, HydrophilicMDR 99.8% Class IIa · n=790MDD 100.0% Class IIa · n=30terminal

      Registered in EUDAMED under MDR with this code: 789 of 790 devices carry Class IIa on their registration (as of 8 Sep 2026).

      • 789 Class IIa (99.8%)
      • 1 Class I (0.1%)

      Registered in EUDAMED under MDD with this code: 30 of 30 devices carry Class IIa on their registration (as of 8 Sep 2026).

      • 30 Class IIa (100.0%)

      Counted once per primary UDI-DI, using the class on the registration. The class of a device comes from the MDR and IVDR classification rules for its intended purpose, so a code is evidence of how others registered, not a determination. MDD and IVDD classes are the directive classification and can differ under MDR or IVDR.

      • 447 Class IIa (100.0%)

      Registered in EUDAMED under MDD with this code: 143 of 143 devices carry Class IIa on their registration (as of 8 Sep 2026).

      • 140 Class IIa (97.9%)
      • 3 Class I (2.0%)

      Registered in EUDAMED under MDD with this code, the 47 devices are split across classes (as of 8 Sep 2026).

How U06 is structured

3
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
0
branch headings, not selectable
2
name a specific device type
33%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Urological Guidewires branch runs 1 level deep. Every code below is terminal.

1 terminal code is an “- Other” entry, 33% 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.

Frequently asked questions

Which U06 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
All 3 codes listed under U06 (Urological Guidewires) are terminal, so any of them can be selected in a device record.
How deep is the U06 hierarchy?
The U06 branch runs 1 level below the group code.
How many U06 codes are catch-all entries?
1 terminal code under U06 is an "- Other" entry, 33% of the branch. The remaining 2 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.
