Y75: Neurological devices associated with adverse incidents
Y75.3: Neurological devices associated with adverse incidents : surgical instruments, materials and devices (including sutures)
Neurological devices associated with adverse incidents refer to situations where instruments, materials, or devices used in neurology procedures result in unintended effects or complications. These can cover a broad spectrum, however, typical examples might include events involving surgical instruments and materials, such as sutures. An adverse incident could arise when these devices malfunction, are used improperly, or exhibit an unexpected response to the body. The conditions produced vary substantially based on the nature of the incident. The affected individual might experience a spectrum of symptoms depending on the particular incident; these could range from localized pain or swelling at the site of the procedure to more systemic symptoms, including unexplained fever or altered neurologic function. Furthermore, these incidents may lead to delayed healing or recovery from the primary neurological condition that required the use of these devices initially.
