Y70-Y82: Medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use
Y82: Other and unspecified medical devices associated with adverse incidents
The group of conditions represented by ICD-10 code Y82 pertain to adverse incidents associated with the use of other and unspecified medical devices. These incidents encompass negative or harmful events or reactions that occur as a result of the use, misuse, malfunction, or failure of various medical devices. This can include devices that are used for diagnosis, treatment, or improvement of health conditions. Medical devices range widely, so the affected system can vary depending on the device involved. The symptoms and severity of these incidents can also vary greatly from minor discomfort or irritation to severe injury or complications. Disease progression can be acute or chronic depending on the type of device, the severity of the incident, and individual health conditions. While these incidents can occur due to various reasons, they're commonly linked to faulty device, incorrect usage of the device, or a person's reaction to the device.
