Y88.2: Sequelae of adverse incidents associated with medical devices in diagnostic and therapeutic use

The term "Sequelae of adverse incidents associated with medical devices in diagnostic and therapeutic use" refers to a range of complications, discomforts, or negative health outcomes that may occur following the use of a medical device for either diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Examples of such devices include surgical tools, implants such as pacemakers, or diagnostic devices like MRI machines. The adverse incidents could be due to several reasons including device malfunction, incorrect usage, or the body's negative response to the device. The resulting conditions may present immediately after use or might emerge after a period of time. The presentation of these conditions can vary greatly, ranging from localized symptoms like pain, swelling, bleeding at the device usage site, to systemic symptoms like fever, fatigue, or more serious complications if the situation becomes severe. It's important to communicate any unusual symptoms to a healthcare provider following the use of a medical device, to ensure prompt intervention and prevention of further complications.
