Y70-Y82: Medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use
Y80: Physical medicine devices associated with adverse incidents
Physical medicine devices associated with adverse incidents refer to a group of conditions caused by the malfunction, misuse or failure of medical equipment designed for therapeutic purposes. These devices can range from mobility aids like wheelchairs to high-tech equipment such as therapeutic ultrasound machines. When these devices do not function as they should, they can cause harm or discomfort to the patient, such as injuries, infections, or exacerbation of existing health conditions. While these incidents can vary widely, some common signs could be sudden or unexplained pain, worsening of symptoms, or development of new symptoms. The progression and severity of these conditions are influenced by the nature of the device, the type of malfunction, and the patient's overall health status. These adverse incidents may have a direct impact on the patients' treatment course and overall well-being.
