    According to MDCG 2018-4 and EUDAMED itselt, an EMDN code is required as a data element to be uploaded onto EUDAMED for System/Procedure Pack (S/PP). However, it does not seem like there are specific EMDN codes for S/PP (European Medical Device Nomenclature (EMDN) (europa.eu)), or a guidance for when the below happens:

    "Two devices are packaged together in S/PP, but they have different EMDN codes as an individual device."

    How can a suitable EMDN code be assigned?

    Thanks

    It is correct there are no EMDN codes for Article 22 S/PP. The reason for that is, that the individual devices should already be certified in their own right, under their own EMDN code. 

    If you feel the need for a separte code, you may either have a S/PP that is a device by itself and not under Article 22, or you have a serious labelling issue. Reach out directily if you want to discuss this further.

    Thank you for your response Ronald.

    But as a System/Procedure Pack Producer, providing an EMDN code for the S/PP (not as a device in its own right!) is mandatory on EUDAMED. So I do not see how an EMDN code can be assigned, when the codes are device specific.

    The best you can do is probably pick a term that's sort of close to the overall spp.

    You can also submit a request for a new term to be created, but it may be a year before it becomes available.
