Clinical & Coding Specifications
Clinical Context
A 68-year-old patient with a long-standing implantable cardiac device presents to the outpatient electrophysiology clinic for a routine device check and returns for replacement of the device's depleted 12-volt battery. The device may be an externalized power module used for ambulatory infusion pumps or certain implanted neurostimulation systems that utilize a replaceable twelve volt battery. The clinical workflow includes verification of battery depletion via device interrogation or device alarm, patient consent, device removal or access under sterile technique, placement of a new L7364 twelve volt battery, function testing, programming or reassembly, and brief post-procedure monitoring for hemodynamic stability and device function before discharge. Typical site of service is an ambulatory surgical center, outpatient clinic procedure room, or hospital inpatient unit when replacement occurs during a related admission.
