W37.8Explosion and rupture of other pressurized tire, pipe or hose

W37.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for explosion and rupture of other pressurized tire, pipe or hose. It belongs to category W37 (explosion and rupture of pressurized tire, pipe or hose), block W20-W49 (exposure to inanimate mechanical forces) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within W37, choose W37.8 (and rupture of other pressurized tire, pipe or hose) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: of bicycle tire (W37.0).

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.
