Y76: Obstetric and gynaecological devices associated with adverse incidents
Y76.8: Obstetric and gynaecological devices associated with adverse incidents : miscellaneous devices, not elsewhere classified
Obstetric and gynaecological devices associated with adverse incidents: miscellaneous devices, not elsewhere classified, refer to undesirable or unexpected occurrences linked to the use of medical equipment used during obstetrics and gynecology care, specifically devices that don't come under any other category. These incidents could be due to a variety of reasons, such as device malfunction, incorrect usage, or an unpredicted patient reaction. This issue could lead to a range of symptoms depending on the nature of the incident, ranging from minor discomforts to serious health complications such as injury, infection, or severe pain. The progression of this condition heavily relies on the specific nature of the incident, the device involved, and individual patient factors. It's important to note that the consequences can affect different body systems, particularly the reproductive system given the nature of the medical devices being used.
