Displacement of unsp cardiac electronic device, init encntr

This code signifies that an implanted cardiac electronic device, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator, has shifted from its intended anatomical position. This displacement can compromise the device's function and may necessitate intervention. The "unspecified" nature indicates that the specific type of cardiac electronic device is not documented.

Apply this code when a patient presents with symptoms or imaging findings confirming the movement of an unspecified cardiac implantable electronic device. This is appropriate for the initial encounter where the displacement is first diagnosed or treated. It should be used when the documentation does not specify whether the device is a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other similar cardiac electronic implant.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "displacement" and not another complication like malfunction or infection.
• Only use this code for the initial encounter for this specific displacement event. Subsequent encounters would use a different seventh character.
• If the type of cardiac electronic device is specified (e.g., pacemaker, defibrillator), a more specific code should be used.
