EU EMDN Codes
The European Medical Device Nomenclature (EMDN) codes are used to reflect the design and intended purpose of EU UDI-DIs. All EU UDI-DIs (that are not a parent package) must have at least one EMDN code from the EU EMDN Codes page assigned.
The EMDN system is hierarchical. It divides the medical devices into classes and assigns codes to these classes. The nomenclature prescribes a length of 3 to 14 characters for the EMDN codes. The first character must be an uppercase letter, all subsequent characters are numeric.
Important
Enter only codes that are lowest level in the tree-like hierarchy of EMDN. Other codes will fail to import into the EUDAMED database.
Tip
Refer to EUDAMED Devices Nomenclature Finder to search for lowest-level EMDN codes, and to enter them into the page along with their description. Note that the Browse nomenclatures link below the search box will also show upper-level codes; however, these are not eligible for assignment.
