Neurological devices associated with adverse incidents (Y75)
The ICD-10 code Y75 covers adverse incidents related to neurological devices, capturing complications involving these medical tools used in diagnosing, monitoring, treating, or implanting in the nervous system.
This section includes specific codes for various neurological device issues. For example, Y75.0 applies to problems with diagnostic and monitoring devices, while Y75.1 refers to complications from therapeutic or rehabilitative neurological devices. This latter category covers mechanical complications of devices like brain ventricular shunts and nervous system implants, often called brain shunt malfunctions or mechanical complications of nervous system implants. Meanwhile, Y75.2 is used for incidents involving prosthetic implants or materials such as neurostimulators, brain shunt misplacements, infections, and other mechanical problems. The codes Y75.3 and Y75.8 capture adverse events linked with surgical instruments and miscellaneous neurological devices, respectively. Knowing these distinctions helps accurately identify the ICD-10 code for neurological device-related complications encountered in medical care.
