Y70-Y82: Medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use
Y74: General hospital and personal-use devices associated with adverse incidents
The group of conditions associated with the ICD-10 code Y74 involves adverse incidents linked with general hospital or personal-use devices. An adverse incident is an unexpected or undesirable event arising from the use of a medical device or equipment. These incidents can occur in a variety of settings such as hospitals, clinics, or homes. They may result from issues related to the device itself, such as malfunction, design flaws, or manufacturing defects, or could be due to incorrect usage or maintenance. Symptoms or signs of these incidents vary based on the type of device and the nature of the fault, and could range from minor discomfort to significant physical harm. The progression of these incidents also varies, with some effects being immediate while others may take time to manifest. Various body systems could be impacted depending upon the specific device involved and the nature of the associated adverse incident.
