Intact glass entering via natural orifice, initial encounter

This code signifies an injury where a piece of unbroken glass has entered the body via a natural opening, such as the mouth, nose, ear, or urethra. The injury is acute and represents the first time the patient is being treated for this specific incident.

Use this code for patients presenting with foreign body sensation or injury due to an intact glass object that has been ingested, inhaled, inserted, or otherwise entered a natural orifice. Examples include swallowing a small piece of glass from a broken bottle or a child inserting a glass bead into their ear.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "intact" glass, not shattered or fragmented.
• Verify the entry point is a natural orifice, not a puncture wound through skin.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific injury.
