Y76.0: Obstetric and gynaecological devices associated with adverse incidents : diagnostic and monitoring devices

The ICD-10 code Y76.0 pertains to adverse incidents associated with obstetric and gynaecological diagnostic and monitoring devices. These are unwanted or unexpected events likely caused by the use of these devices during diagnostic or monitoring procedures in obstetrics and gynaecology—the medical fields focused on women's reproductive health and pregnancy. Common examples of such devices include ultrasound machines, fetal monitors, and colposcopes. Adverse incidents can range from mild to severe and might include complications such as infection, allergic reaction, injury to nearby organs or tissues, or incorrect diagnosis due to device failure. Factors that contribute to these incidents can be multifaceted, relating to the device itself, the manner in which it's used, or individual patient characteristics.
