This CCI code was retired because all scenarios we are interested in should actually be coded under [[Implantation of Internal Device]].

== Additional Info ==

*~~This can be a tricky item to distinguish from~~ '''[[Implantation of Internal Device]]'''~~, especially when it comes to cardiovascular devices.~~

*An external appliance is one in which the ENTIRE THING is outside the body (viewed broadly).

*ECMO is included here, because even though the ~~catheter is partially internal, the actual blood oxygenator is external~~. ~~If you were~~ to ~~code the placement of the catheters for ECMO, that would~~ be ~~[[Implantation of Internal Device]]~~

**examples: external (surface) defibrillator, false teeth

*Things that go entirely ~~within, or from outside to inside~~ the body ~~are considered to be~~ internal ~~devices~~.

*In fact we will rarely code these because with rare exceptions they're really minor things.

*By contrast, use '''[[Implantation of Internal Device]]''' for a device for which ANY PART OF IT IS in the body. It does NOT have to be entirely in the body. Examples include PEG tube, nephrostomy tube, internal pacemaker, temporary pacemaker, Porta-cath.

*'''NOTE: We are only coding insertion/implantation of these devices, NOT their removal or subsequent management.'''
