Y72.0: Otorhinolaryngological devices associated with adverse incidents : diagnostic and monitoring devices
Otorhinolaryngological devices associated with adverse incidents: diagnostic and monitoring devices refers to complications that arise after the use of certain diagnostic or monitoring devices more commonly known in simple terms as ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) devices. These ENT devices are used in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases or conditions affecting the ear, nose, and throat. Sometimes, these devices can cause unexpected problems or 'adverse incidents.' An 'adverse incident' might mean an allergic reaction, an injury, an infection, or other unexpected health problems. While these adverse incidents don't happen often, they are significant when they do. The problems could occur during the use of the device or even some time after it's been used. Symptoms can vary widely depending on the specific incident but often involve discomfort or pain in the ear, nose, or throat area.
