Y80.1: Physical medicine devices associated with adverse incidents : therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative devices

Y80.1 corresponds to an adverse incident or an undesirable and unexpected event related to the use of therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative medical devices. These incidents may occur as a result of the malfunction, improper usage, or inherent complications associated with these devices. Therapeutic and rehabilitative devices include equipment such as therapeutic ultrasound machines, tens (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) units, physical therapy exercise machines, and prosthetic devices among others. Adverse incidents can present themselves in a variety of ways, including pain, worsening of existing symptoms, or the emergence of new symptoms. They may also involve disease progression, depending upon the nature of the incident. While these incidents can impact any system of the body, they most commonly affect the areas directly interacting with or treated by the device.
