(Y74.1) General hospital and personal-use devices associated with adverse incidents : therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative devices

Therapeutic and rehabilitative devices are medical devices used to treat, diagnose, or prevent diseases or medical conditions, and are associated with adverse incidents when used in general hospitals and for personal use. these incidents can occur due to improper use, improper maintenance, or faulty design of the device, leading to misdiagnosis, incorrect treatment, or other medical errors.

The pathogenesis of general hospital and personal-use devices associated with adverse incidents is multi-factorial. these incidents can occur due to improper use, inadequate maintenance, or defective design. poor quality control, inadequate training of personnel, and improper storage and handling of the devices can also contribute to the risk of adverse incidents. in addition, the complexity of the devices and the lack of understanding of the potential risks associated with their use can lead to serious injuries and/or death.
