Use Additional Code
The “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.
code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug T36T50
code(s) to identify the specified condition resulting from the complication
code to identify devices involved and details of circumstances Y62Y82
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

About the T80–T88 Code Range
ICD-10-CM codes T80-T88 are used to classify complications that arise from surgical and medical care not specified elsewhere. These codes cover a wide range of issues including problems with infusions, transfusions, therapeutic injections, and complications related to implanted medical devices and prosthetics.
This range addresses specific complications such as air embolism (T80.0), vascular complications after infusions or transfusions (T80.1), infections linked to central venous catheters including CLABSI – central line-associated bloodstream infection (T80.211), and immunologic reactions like anaphylaxis due to serum or vaccination (T80.5 series). It also covers mechanical issues with heart valve prostheses (T82.0), cardiac electronic devices (T82.1), vascular grafts (T82.3), and genitourinary prosthetic devices (T83), providing codes for device breakdown, displacement, leakage, infection, and inflammation. T84 codes specify complications of internal orthopedic devices, implants, and grafts, such as joint prostheses and fixation devices, including loosening, wear, infection, and thrombosis. The section further includes complications related to other prosthetic devices (T85), transplanted organs (T86), reattachments and amputations (T87), and various anesthesia-related adverse events (T88).
Medical coders benefit from distinctions among initial encounters, subsequent encounters, and sequelae, marked by 7th characters (e.g., initial 'A', subsequent 'D', sequela 'S'). The synonyms provided help clarify code selection for conditions like air embolism complicating intravenous therapy, ABO incompatibility with hemolytic transfusion reaction, prosthetic joint infection, or complications of transplanted kidney and heart. This detailed range facilitates accurate documentation and reporting of adverse surgical and medical care events involving infusions, devices, grafts, and transplants.
