Y78.1: Radiological devices associated with adverse incidents : therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative devices

Radiological devices associated with adverse incidents refer to unintended, harmful events linked with the use of therapeutic or rehabilitative radiological equipment. These devices, which employ radiation for treatment or rehabilitation purposes, might malfunction or be improperly used, leading to negative affects on a patient's health. Adverse incidents might present as unexpected side effects, heightened pain levels, or the development of new medical conditions not linked to the initial reason for treatment. This could potentially affect various body systems depending on the area targeted by the device. System failures might result from hardware defects, software errors, poor maintenance, user mishaps, or some combination of these factors. As this is not a disease or illness, it does not progress but instead might lead to the sudden occurrence of adverse medical incidents.
