Obstetric and gynecological devices associated with adverse incidents (Y76)

ICD-10 code Y76 covers complications involving obstetric and gynecological devices that lead to adverse incidents. These codes are used to document issues related to various diagnostic, therapeutic, prosthetic, surgical, and miscellaneous devices in women’s reproductive health care.

The ICD-10 code for adverse incidents related to obstetric and gynecological devices helps healthcare providers classify complications from devices such as diagnostic monitors (Y76.0), nonsurgical therapeutic tools (Y76.1), and prosthetic implants including intrauterine contraceptive devices or vaginal mesh (Y76.2). Conditions like vaginal erosion caused by mesh, disorders or failures with intrauterine devices, and failed contraceptive insertions are included here. Surgical instruments and materials associated with these complications are coded under Y76.3. Miscellaneous complications, such as uterine perforation caused by intrauterine devices, fall under Y76.8. These codes are essential when documenting adverse effects specifically tied to obstetric and gynecological devices, ensuring precise and targeted health record keeping for these device-related complications.
