Y70-Y82: Medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use
Y76: Obstetric and gynaecological devices associated with adverse incidents
Obstetric and gynaecological devices associated with adverse incidents refer to a group of conditions that arise from the use of medical devices specially designed for women's reproductive health. These devices, used in obstetrics (pregnancy and childbirth) and gynaecology (female reproductive system), can sometimes cause complications or adverse events. The incidents can harm body systems ranging from the reproductive system to the urinary and gastrointestinal systems. The types of adverse incidents can vary widely, from mild reactions like skin irritations to life-threatening situations such as severe bleeding or infection. Common symptoms can include pain, unusual discharge, fever, and discomfort. These conditions can happen during or after the use of devices, depending on the type of device, the procedure, or a person's specific health situation. The progression of these conditions is influenced by the prompt identification and management of these incidents.
