How U11 is structured

7
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
2
branch headings, not selectable
5
name a specific device type
29%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Contraceptive 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 7 codes marked terminal.

2 terminal codes are “- Other” entries, 29% 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 U1102 (Devices for Female Contraception), holding 4 of the 7 terminal codes.
