In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that is a is a cup-shaped bellows member removable attached to an adjustable headband. One end of the member is positioned to bear against the closed eyelid of a patient being prepared for intraocular surgery and upon whose head the headband has been placed.

The opposite end of the bellows member is closed by a plate having a tubular portion communicating with the interior of the bellows portion and adapted to be connected to a means for increasing the pressure in monitored increments inside the chamber formed by the bellows and plate in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Ocular pressure applicators under 21 CFR 886.4610 and under FDA product code LCC. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42183061 Ocular pressure applicators is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not match the product category — a Tampa waste-to-energy facility's RFQ for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer (a water-quality analysis instrument), a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment frameworks spanning multiple Washington and other jurisdictions, and Klein Independent School District's RFP for career technical education and advanced academics instructional resources. None of these solicitations describe ocular pressure measurement or application devices. The code appears to be either misclassified by the issuing bodies or unused for its intended commodity in active state and local procurement.

Given the mismatch between the code's product definition and the opportunities tagged to it, pursuing this code based on recent posting activity is not advisable. If your firm manufactures ocular pressure applicators or related ophthalmic instrumentation, monitor this code for future activity, but do not assume these three recent posts signal active demand in this product family within state and local government.
