This code signifies an adverse event or complication specifically related to obstetric and gynecological prosthetic devices, implants, materials, or accessories. It indicates that a patient has experienced an undesirable reaction or issue stemming from such a device.

Use this code when a patient presents with symptoms or complications directly attributable to an implanted gynecological device, such as a vaginal mesh, IUD, or other reproductive system implant. This includes device malfunction, erosion, infection, pain, or other adverse reactions requiring medical attention.

• Always sequence this code after the primary code identifying the specific nature of the adverse effect or complication.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the patient's symptoms or condition to the obstetric or gynecological device.
• Consider additional codes for the specific device involved (e.g., T83.xx for complications of genitourinary prosthetic devices) and the specific manifestation of the adverse event.
