How W05 is structured
94
terminal codes, selectable in a device record
30
branch headings, not selectable
58
name a specific device type
38%
fallback entries: Other and Accessories
The IVD Generic Use Consumables branch runs 5 levels deep. 30 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 94 codes marked terminal.
18 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 18 are “- Accessories” entries, 38% 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 W0503 (Devices for Samples Analyses (No Laboratory Generic Products)), holding 58 of the 94 terminal codes.
Frequently asked questions
- Which W05 codes can be used in a EUDAMED device record?
- 94 of the 124 codes listed under W05 (IVD Generic Use Consumables) are terminal and can be selected. The other 30 are branch headings that cannot.
- How deep is the W05 hierarchy?
- The W05 branch runs 5 levels below the group code. Its largest sub-branch is W0503 (Devices for Samples Analyses (No Laboratory Generic Products)), which holds 58 of the 94 terminal codes.
- How many W05 codes are catch-all entries?
- 18 terminal codes under W05 are "- Other" entries and 18 are "- Accessories" entries, 38% of the branch. The remaining 58 name a specific device type.
