Y40-Y84: Complications of medical and surgical care
Y70-Y82: Medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use
The group of conditions categorized under "Medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use" refers to medical complications that can occur from the use of a wide range of medical devices. These incidents can happen both during diagnostic procedures (such as imaging tests) and therapeutic treatments (such as surgeries or drug delivery systems) where medical devices are deployed. The factors leading to these adverse incidents could include device malfunction, incorrect use, or inherent patient health conditions creating an unexpected reaction. Symptoms vary widely depending on the device type and utilization scope but may include inflammation, infection, pain, or worsening of the condition the device was intended to treat or diagnose. The progression of these conditions also depends largely on the intensity and type of adverse incident, ranging from mild to severe, and in some cases could lead to serious systemic complications.
