General hospital and personal-use devices associated with adverse incidents (Y74)

The ICD-10 code range Y74 identifies adverse incidents involving general hospital and personal-use devices, covering complications related to various medical and surgical devices. These codes specify issues arising specifically from diagnostic, therapeutic, prosthetic, surgical, and other device use.

The category Y74 serves to classify complications caused by devices used in hospital or home settings. For example, Y74.0 is for adverse events linked to diagnostic and monitoring devices, while Y74.1 covers therapeutic and rehabilitative devices. Notably, Y74.2 includes problems with prosthetics and implants, often described with terms like "device withdrawn" or occurrences such as a "peritoneal dialysis catheter fell out," helping coders connect these conditions to this code. Surgical instruments and related materials involved in complications are coded under Y74.3. Additionally, Y74.8 captures miscellaneous device-related incidents that do not fit other categories. This ICD-10 code section is essential for accurately identifying and tracking adverse effects linked to a wide variety of medical and personal-use devices in clinical documentation and billing.
