fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Cutting Devices, Single-Use branch runs 2 levels deep. 3 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 8 codes marked terminal.

1 terminal code is an “- Other” entry, 13% 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 V0101 (Scalpels, Single-Use), holding 2 of the 8 terminal codes.
