EMDN X02: Products without an Intended Medical Purpose Intended to Be Totally or Partially Introduced Into the Human Body Through Surgically Invasive Means for the Purpose of Modifying the Anatomy or Fixation of Body Parts with the Exception of Tattooing Products and Piercings
Complete hierarchy for EMDN group X02 in category X (Products without an Intended Medical Purpose (Annex XVI)): 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.

How X02 is structured
The Products without an Intended Medical Purpose Intended to Be Totally or Partially Introduced Into the Human Body Through Surgically Invasive Means for the Purpose of Modifying the Anatomy or Fixation of Body Parts with the Exception of Tattooing Products and Piercings branch runs 2 levels deep. 2 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 4 codes marked terminal.
The largest sub-branch is X0201 (Products without an Intended Medical Purpose Intended to Be Totally Introduced Into the Human Body Through Surgically Invasive Means for the Purpose of Modifying the Anatomy of Body Parts with the Exception of Tattooing Products and Piercings), holding 2 of the 4 terminal codes.
