EMDN U10: Obstetrics Devices

Complete hierarchy for EMDN group U10 in category U (Devices for Urogenital System): 12 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.

      Registered in EUDAMED under MDR with this code: 49 of 51 devices carry Class I on their registration (as of 8 Sep 2026).

      • 49 Class I (96.0%)
      • 2 Class IIa (3.9%)

      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.

How U10 is structured

12
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
2
branch headings, not selectable
8
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.

Frequently asked questions

Which U10 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
12 of the 14 codes listed under U10 (Obstetrics Devices) are terminal and can be selected. The other 2 are branch headings that cannot.
How deep is the U10 hierarchy?
The U10 branch runs 2 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is U1001 (Obstetrics Catheters), which holds 3 of the 12 terminal codes.
How many U10 codes are catch-all entries?
3 terminal codes under U10 are "- Other" entries and 1 is an "- Accessories" entry, 33% of the branch. The remaining 8 name a specific device type.
