How U08 is structured
The Gynaecological Devices branch runs 4 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 39 codes marked terminal.
7 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 2 are “- Accessories” entries, 23% 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 U0802 (Devices for Assisted Reproduction), holding 27 of the 39 terminal codes.
Frequently asked questions
- Which U08 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- 39 of the 49 codes listed under U08 (Gynaecological Devices) are terminal and can be selected. The other 10 are branch headings that cannot.
- How deep is the U08 hierarchy?
- The U08 branch runs 4 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is U0802 (Devices for Assisted Reproduction), which holds 27 of the 39 terminal codes.
- How many U08 codes are catch-all entries?
- 7 terminal codes under U08 are "- Other" entries and 2 are "- Accessories" entries, 23% of the branch. The remaining 30 name a specific device type.
