Y82.0: Other and unspecified medical devices associated with adverse incidents : diagnostic and monitoring devices

The condition described by ICD-10 code Y82.0 refers to situations where there are adverse incidents associated with the use of other types and unspecified medical devices specifically used for diagnosis and monitoring. This may occur when the device fails, is misused, or malfunctions, potentially leading to incorrect diagnoses or health ineffectiveness. Adverse incidents can range from mild to severe and can be physical (like burns, electric shocks, or tissue damage) or involve incorrect readings, leading to health complications. The devices in question can be a broad range, including but not limited to, ECG machines, blood pressure monitors, glucose monitors, and hearing aids. It's important to note that the association of the device with an adverse incident does not necessarily mean the device directly caused harm.
