Y82.1: Other and unspecified medical devices associated with adverse incidents : therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative devices
The medical condition associated with ICD-10 code Y82.1 pertains to adverse incidents related with other and unspecified medical devices. More specifically, these are therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative devices. Therapeutic devices include a range of equipment like orthotic braces, respiratory aids, or neuropathy alleviating devices; rehabilitative devices include items like wheelchairs, prosthetics, and mobility aids. Adverse incidents in this context typically refer to unforeseen negative effects or complications caused by these types of devices. This could occur due to a variety of factors, including device malfunction, incorrect usage, or an individual's adverse physiological response to the device. Symptoms may vary depending on nature of the adverse incident and the device in question but can include discomfort, pain, inflammation, or decreased functionality in the area the device is designed to support or improve.
