Breakdown (mechanical) of unspecified cardiac electronic device

Header — needs a more specific code

From the official ICD-10-CM alphabetic index entry “Malfunction › cardiac electronic device”. Page updated September 29, 2026.

About coding cardiac electronic device malfunction

The ICD-10-CM code for cardiac electronic device malfunction is T82.119 (Breakdown (mechanical) of unspecified cardiac electronic device). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on T82.119.

Within T82.11, choose T82.119 (unspecified cardiac electronic device) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: cardiac electrode (T82.110), cardiac pulse generator (battery) (T82.111) and other cardiac electronic device (T82.118).

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.
