Breakdown of prosth dev/implnt/grft of genitl trct, init

This code signifies a mechanical failure or malfunction of a prosthetic device, implant, or graft located within the genital tract, requiring initial medical attention. This breakdown is not due to infection, rejection, or a simple displacement, but rather a structural or functional mechanical issue.

Apply this code when a patient presents with symptoms directly attributable to a mechanical failure of a genital prosthetic device, such as a penile implant or testicular prosthesis. This includes issues like device fracture, component separation, or pump malfunction. It is specifically for the initial encounter for this particular complication.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies a mechanical breakdown, not an infection or other complication.
• Verify the device is located in the genital tract.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for this specific mechanical breakdown; subsequent encounters would use a different seventh character.
