UNSPSC 42182416: Tympanometers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device to measure the efficacy of the operation of the middle ear in a human patient in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Tympanometers under 21 CFR 872.4630 and under FDA product code EBA. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42182416 Tympanometers is a Commodity code that state and local governments are not actually procuring under in recent activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code—occupational medical surveillance services from Washington State Department of Transportation (WSF), special education and supplies from Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, and audio-visual services for council chambers and court facilities from the City of St. Marys, Georgia—are entirely unrelated to tympanometers, which are diagnostic devices used to measure middle-ear function and acoustic impedance. The code designation appears to be a mismatch to the work actually being purchased.

No state and local procurement activity for tympanometers or related audiometric equipment has appeared in recent solicitations. If pursuing this code, verify that the issuing body's actual scope aligns with audiological or occupational health screening rather than relying on the UNSPSC designation alone.
