Y81.1: General- and plastic-surgery devices associated with adverse incidents : therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative devices
The medical condition referred to by the ICD-10 code Y81.1 is specifically related to adverse incidents that have occurred in connection with general and plastic surgery devices. This includes therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative devices. These adverse incidents have various causes and happenstances, such as device malfunction, improper use or application, or unexpected reactions of the body to the device. Presentation of this condition can greatly vary, depending on the nature and severity of the incident. Symptoms can range from minor discomfort or localized reactions to more serious issues like internal damage or severe infections. This condition doesn't follow a standard progression as it occurs in response to adverse effects from surgical devices. The systems affected by this condition largely depend on the type and location of the device used.
