Toxic effect of fiberglass, intentional self-harm, init

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse health effects resulting from deliberate exposure to fiberglass. The intent behind the exposure is self-harm, indicating a non-accidental and purposeful act to cause injury or illness.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states that a patient intentionally ingested, inhaled, or otherwise exposed themselves to fiberglass with the explicit purpose of self-injury. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the toxic effect is first evaluated and treated.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "intentional self-harm" or similar language regarding the patient's intent.
• Confirm the substance involved is specifically fiberglass, not another irritant or foreign body.
• This "A" seventh character indicates an active phase of treatment for the injury.
