I need a diagnosis code for a wound that is non-healing where the patient had had an IV catheter infiltrated. THe patient has chronic renal failure and is on dialysis and is also diabetic.
 
How about
996.6 Infection and inflammatory reaction due to internal prosthetic device, implant, and graft

996.62 Due to vascular device, implant and graft
Arterial graft
Arteriovenous fistula or shunt
Infusion pump
Vascular catheter (arterial) (dialysis) (peripheral venous)
