Y73.0: Gastroenterology and urology devices associated with adverse incidents : diagnostic and monitoring devices
Gastroenterology and urology devices associated with adverse incidents: diagnostic and monitoring devices refers to complications or issues that may arise from the use of medical devices used in the fields of gastroenterology and urology. Gastroenterology involves the digestive system, while urology relates to the urinary system. These devices, which typically aid in diagnosing or monitoring conditions, could sometimes malfunction. The device-associated problems could lead to incorrect diagnosis or inaccurate monitoring of an existing condition. Symptoms indicating an adverse incident such as this could vary, depending on the specific function of the device and site of application. They could potentially impact the progression of the patient's existing health condition and significantly influence its management plan. It is also noteworthy that these incidents might be due to inherent device malfunction or incorrect usage. Any unexpected health changes after using such devices should be promptly reported to the healthcare team.
