In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that consists of tubing needleless injection ports or stopcocks or manifolds used in an intravenous or arterial medical procedure. US FDA regulates Intravenous or arterial arm boards under 21 CFR 878.3910 and under FDA product code BTX. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42221802 Intravenous or arterial arm boards (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The three recent opportunities tagged with this code—janitorial and operational supplies for Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, career technical education instructional resources for Klein ISD, and emergency refrigerated truck rentals for the Tucson Police Department—bear no material relationship to intravenous or arterial arm boards or medical/clinical supplies procurement. The code appears to be either misapplied by the issuing bodies or represents an uncommon procurement category within state and local government purchasing.

No recent solicitations for intravenous or arterial arm boards themselves were identified in the source data. If purchasing activity under this code does occur, it would likely be handled through individual health departments, hospital systems, or medical supply contracts at the state or county level rather than through competitive sealed bids or RFPs posted to general procurement notice systems. Business development professionals should verify directly with target customers—state health agencies, county public health departments, hospital procurement offices, or emergency medical service authorities—rather than relying on notice-board activity to identify opportunities under this commodity code.
