EMDN V04: Clinical Use Containers (Non-IVD)
Complete hierarchy for EMDN group V04 in category V (Various Medical Devices): 4 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.
V04Clinical Use Containers (Non-IVD)Registered in EUDAMED under MDR with this code, the 21 devices are split across classes (as of 8 Sep 2026).
- 19 Class I (90.4%)
- 2 Class IIa (9.5%)
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.
Registered in EUDAMED under MDR with this code: 7,817 of 7,818 devices carry Class I on their registration (as of 8 Sep 2026).
- 7,817 Class I (99.9%)
- 1 Class IIa (<0.1%)
Registered in EUDAMED under MDD with this code: 113 of 116 devices carry Class I on their registration (as of 8 Sep 2026).
- 113 Class I (97.4%)
- 3 Class IIa (2.5%)
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. MDD and IVDD classes are the directive classification and can differ under MDR or IVDR.
Registered in EUDAMED under MDR with this code: 564 of 564 devices carry Class I on their registration (as of 8 Sep 2026).
- 564 Class I (100.0%)
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 V04 is structured
The Clinical Use Containers (Non-IVD) branch runs 1 level deep. Every code below is terminal.
1 terminal code is an “- Other” entry and 1 is an “- Accessories” entry, 50% 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.
Frequently asked questions
- Which V04 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- All 4 codes listed under V04 (Clinical Use Containers (Non-IVD)) are terminal, so any of them can be selected in a device record.
- How deep is the V04 hierarchy?
- The V04 branch runs 1 level below the group code.
- How many V04 codes are catch-all entries?
- 1 terminal code under V04 is an "- Other" entry and 1 is an "- Accessories" entry, 50% of the branch. The remaining 2 name a specific device type.
Not sure which level to stop at, or which of two plausible codes to submit? The guide to choosing an EMDN code walks the decision level by level, with a worked example and the mistakes that get a EUDAMED registration rejected.
