UNSPSC 42181703: Electrocardiography EKG cable or lead or unit testers

In this classification, this commodity indicates the peripheral cables, leads or unit tester for a product that can record and measure electronic waves generated from the heart of a human. US FDA regulates Electrocardiography EKG cable or lead or unit testers under 21 CFR 870.2340 and under FDA product code DPS. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 842139.

UNSPSC 42181703 Electrocardiography EKG cable or lead or unit testers is a Commodity code that covers diagnostic medical devices and testing equipment used to measure, record, and validate electrocardiographic signals and functionality. State and local governments procure this code primarily through health departments, hospital systems, county medical services, and emergency management agencies that maintain clinical and emergency medical capabilities. The scope includes EKG cables, leads, connectors, and standalone testing or calibration units used to verify device integrity and signal transmission accuracy in clinical settings.

Recent state and local activity under this code is minimal. The available opportunities show a NASPO ValuePoint RFP (NVP_1443) posted by Texas on October 6, 2026 with a due date of November 9, 2026, for broader medical supplies across multiple categories on behalf of Idaho state agencies and participating public entities through the cooperative purchasing consortium; a Sourcewell RFP (#061626) issued May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 response deadline. Neither opportunity explicitly names EKG testing or diagnostic cable equipment in the posted summary materials, suggesting the code's activity under state and local procurement remains scattered or tagged inconsistently across health system and equipment service solicitations. Geographic spread across recent postings includes Idaho and Washington through cooperative vehicles, though the materiality of EKG-specific purchasing under this Commodity code cannot be confirmed from the available records.
