Y72.1: Otorhinolaryngological devices associated with adverse incidents : therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative devices
Otorhinolaryngological devices associated with adverse incidents: therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative devices, is a medical condition that occurs when a device used in the treatment or rehabilitation in the field of otorhinolaryngology, which focuses on the ears, nose, and throat (ENT), causes unforeseen negative outcomes. This could occur based on various reasons including device malfunctions, incorrect usage, reactions to device materials, or unexpected complications. The symptoms greatly depend on the type of adverse incident, but may include worsening of the existing ENT condition, physical discomfort, inflammation, or even injury to the ear, nose, or throat. In some cases, these adverse events can disrupt the normal functioning of the body system undergoing treatment or rehabilitation. This condition isn't contagious as it's associated with device usage in the clinical setting and not caused by a biological agent.
