Y82.2: Other and unspecified medical devices associated with adverse incidents : prosthetic and other implants, materials and accessory devices

Y82.2 denotes a circumstance in which a patient experiences negative or harmful incidents associated with prosthetic implants, other material implants, or accessory devices. These adverse events can occur during surgical procedures, throughout the recovery period, or even years after implantation. Circumstances under this category may include problems like device breakage, malfunction, dislocation, or reaction to the device within the body. The effects of these incidents vary widely, from minor irritation and discomfort to severe health complications, depending on the nature of the incident. For example, they can lead to inflammation, infection, or even organ damage. It's important to note, though, that these issues do not necessarily indicate a flaw in the medical device or malpractice by healthcare professionals; they can sometimes be due to unforeseen patient-specific factors or complications.
