Z40-Z54: Persons encountering health services for specific procedures and health care
Z45: Adjustment and management of implanted device
The group of conditions classified under 'Adjustment and management of implanted device' primarily deal with the post-operation monitoring and necessary modifications made to any devices implanted in the body for medical purposes. These can include devices like pacemakers, orthopedic implants, insulin pumps, and more. This range of conditions does not mean that there's a disease or illness, rather it emphasizes the continuous process of managing and making adjustments to the implanted device to ensure it functions optimally. Patients may experience varied symptoms that would point to possible issues with the device, such as discomfort, operation deficiency or skin reactions around the device area. The progression of these conditions would largely depend on the individual's unique body response towards the implanted device, the device's functioning, and the timely modifications made. Multiple body systems may be involved depending on the type of device installed.
