How U10 is structured

terminal codes, selectable in a device record

branch headings, not selectable

name a specific device type

33%

fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Obstetrics Devices branch runs 2 levels deep. 2 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 12 codes marked terminal.

3 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 1 is an “- Accessories” 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.

The largest sub-branch is U1001 (Obstetrics Catheters), holding 3 of the 12 terminal codes.
