EMDN V09: Fluids/Gases for Clinical/Therapeutic Use

Complete hierarchy for EMDN group V09 in category V (Various Medical Devices): 6 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.

How V09 is structured

6
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
0
branch headings, not selectable
5
name a specific device type
17%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Fluids/Gases for Clinical/Therapeutic Use branch runs 1 level deep. Every code below is terminal.

1 terminal code is an “- Other” entry, 17% 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 V09 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
All 6 codes listed under V09 (Fluids/Gases for Clinical/Therapeutic Use) are terminal, so any of them can be selected in a device record.
How deep is the V09 hierarchy?
The V09 branch runs 1 level below the group code.
How many V09 codes are catch-all entries?
1 terminal code under V09 is an "- Other" entry, 17% of the branch. The remaining 5 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.
