How V08 is structured

terminal codes, selectable in a device record

branch headings, not selectable

name a specific device type

22%

fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Healthcare Activities Supportive Equipment and Aids branch runs 4 levels deep. 14 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 50 codes marked terminal.

9 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 2 are “- Accessories” entries, 22% 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 V0805 (Patient Transfer Equipment), holding 15 of the 50 terminal codes.
