Radiological devices associated with adverse incidents (Y78)
The ICD-10 code Y78 and its subcategories are used to classify adverse incidents involving various radiological devices during medical care. These codes help specify the type of radiological device linked to complications, aiding in accurate documentation.
The main code Y78 broadly covers any adverse incident associated with radiological devices. Subcodes break this down: Y78.0 addresses issues related to diagnostic and monitoring radiological devices; Y78.1 specifically applies to therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative radiological devices, including adverse reactions such as those from UVB light phototherapy. Y78.2 relates to prosthetic implants and accessory radiological materials, while Y78.3 covers surgical instruments and materials linked to radiological use. Lastly, Y78.8 captures miscellaneous radiological devices not classified elsewhere. Knowing the ICD-10 code for adverse radiological device incidents ensures healthcare providers and coders can precisely report complications stemming from these specialized medical tools.
