Y70-Y82: Medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use
Y73: Gastroenterology and urology devices associated with adverse incidents
The group of conditions classified under gastroenterology and urology devices associated with adverse incidents encompasses a range of medical complications that can result from the use of gastroenterological and urological medical devices. These devices are typically used to diagnose, treat, or manage conditions affecting the digestive and urinary systems. However, sometimes the devices themselves can lead to unforeseen issues. These adverse incidents could likely include infection, device malfunction, or unintended side effects such as discomfort or pain. Symptoms could vary widely based on the specific incident and the device in question, but may involve abdominal pain, changes in bowel or urinary habits, fever, or even bleeding. The progression of these conditions is highly dependent on the nature and severity of the adverse incident, with some resolving quickly upon device adjustment or removal, while others may result in prolonged complications necessitating further medical intervention. All these conditions primarily affect the digestive and urinary systems.
