Y77.0: Ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents : diagnostic and monitoring devices

Y77.0 refers to an adverse incident or issue associated with ophthalmic devices used for diagnosis and monitoring. These devices are used to evaluate and monitor the health of the eyes and could include tools such as optical coherence tomography machines or tonometers. An adverse incident might occur due to a malfunction or misuse of the device, potentially affecting the accuracy of the results obtained. This could lead to a misdiagnosis or incorrect monitoring, potentially risking the overall health of the patient's eyes. Symptoms of an adverse incident could vary based on what specifically went wrong with the device, but might include inaccurate readings or incorrect visual assessments. It's important to note that these adverse incidents relate directly to the devices themselves and not the patient's eye health.
