Y73.8: Gastroenterology and urology devices associated with adverse incidents : miscellaneous devices, not elsewhere classified

The ICD-10 code Y73.8 refers to a set of circumstances involving adverse incidents associated with gastroenterology and urology devices. These devices, intended to help diagnose or treat conditions within the gastrointestinal and urinary systems, are unspecified under this classification. In certain cases, factors such as device malfunction, incorrect usage, or patient hypersensitivity can lead to unexpected adverse events. These incidents may present with a multitude of symptoms depending upon which organ system is involved and the nature of the incident. For instance, you could experience abdominal pain or discomfort, changes in bowel movements or urination patterns, bleeding, or infection signs like fever. These complications could lead to a delay in the diagnosis or treatment of the underlying gastroenterology or urology condition.
