Measuring devices for evaluating the respiratory organs

Introduced: September 1968

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Measuring for diagnostic purposes; Identification of persons > Measuring devices for evaluating the respiratory organs

CPC:

Measuring for diagnostic purposes (radiation diagnosis A61B6/00; diagnosis by ultrasonic, sonic or infrasonic waves A61B8/00); Identification of persons > Measuring devices for evaluating the respiratory organs

CPC subdivides this area 2x more granularly than IPC with 7 additional codes.

7 codes are CPC-only extensions.

IPC defines codes here since 1990.
