Other and unspecified medical devices associated with adverse incidents (Y82)

The ICD-10 code section Y82 covers adverse incidents involving other and unspecified medical devices, providing a way to document complications linked to various implants and devices. This section helps accurately classify problems from both known and unspecified devices used in medical care.

This section includes the general code Y82 and more specific codes like Y82.8 and Y82.9. Code Y82.8 is used for issues related to diverse devices such as dental implants (including malposition, peri-implantitis, and plaque), prosthetic reconstructions, tissue expanders, and mechanical failures during procedures like kidney dialysis. Commonly referenced conditions include dental peri-implantitis, mechanical complications with prosthetics, and infections linked to implants. Meanwhile, Y82.9 is for unspecified device-related incidents such as venous thrombosis from central venous access devices, loosening or migration of implants, and failures in infusion or transfusion equipment. Understanding these synonyms clarifies that the ICD-10 code for adverse medical device incidents covers a broad spectrum, helping coders assign accurate codes for device-related complications and ensure precise clinical documentation.
