Toxic effect of chlorofluorocarbons, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies the long-term or residual health problems resulting from a deliberate act of self-poisoning with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). It indicates that the patient experienced a toxic reaction to these chemicals, and the current medical issue is a consequence of that past event.

Use this code when documenting chronic organ damage, neurological deficits, or other persistent health conditions directly attributable to a prior intentional self-harm attempt involving CFCs. This applies to follow-up visits where the sequelae are being managed, rather than the acute poisoning event itself.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic respiratory failure).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional CFC exposure.
• Do not use this code for acute toxic effects; use the acute poisoning codes for initial encounters.
