Out of scope
The following types of concepts are out of scope for the Physical object hierarchy.
High level component groupers High lever grouper concepts that include the term "component" in their name are out of scope of the International edition. Specific device concepts which are logically components, e.g., 304121006 |Femoral head prosthesis (physical object)|, are acceptable as long as the term "component" is not included in the name.
In Vitro Diagnostic In vitro diagnostic refers to a device that has no direct contact with the patient and does not provide treatment.
Kits or Sets Concepts containing unspecified data characteristics of kit and set are not in scope for the International edition because what comprises a kit or set may vary across locale or institution or by manufacturer. Concepts described as a kit or set may be handled in other resources such as an UDI repository or National Extension.
Packaged Together Packaged together means packed (e.g., wrapped or sealed) in a single container that is not intended to be unwrapped or unsealed before it is used by an end user.
