T85.71Infection and inflammatory reaction due to peritoneal dialysis catheter

T85.71 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for infection and inflammatory reaction due to peritoneal dialysis catheter. It belongs to category T85 (complications of other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts), block T80-T88 (complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T85.7 (infection and inflammatory reaction due to other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts), T85.71 is specifically for infection and inflammatory reaction due to peritoneal dialysis catheter. Related codes cover insulin pump (T85.72), nervous system devices, implants and graft (T85.73) and other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T85.79).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
