| 2 | Body System0 | Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves |
| 3 | Root Operation2 | Change Taking out or off a device from a body part and putting back an identical or similar device in or on the same body part without cutting or puncturing the skin or a mucous membrane |
| 4 | Body Part0 | Brain |
| 5 | ApproachX | External |
