UNSPSC 42221904: Electromagnetic blood flowmeters

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a electromagnetic blood flowmeter in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Electromagnetic blood flowmeters under 21 CFR 870.21 and under FDA product code DPW. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42221904 Electromagnetic blood flowmeters is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under it bears little relationship to the code's nominal scope. None of the five recent opportunities posted against this code — including law enforcement equipment through Sourcewell, career technical education resources through Klein ISD, a detention facility security system upgrade for Collin County, blood pressure cuffs for Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, and medical and first aid supplies for Tampa Fire Rescue — involve electromagnetic blood flowmeters or blood flow measurement devices. The Hillsborough County procurement (sole source for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs, due April 13, 2026) is the only solicitation with any plausible connection to cardiovascular measurement, but it targets manual blood pressure cuffs compatible with a specific Stryker defibrillator platform, not electronic flowmeter technology. The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope is consistent across all five opportunities, suggesting systematic misclassification or overly broad code application in the source jurisdictions.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida, with Collin County and Klein ISD in Texas pursuing construction and educational procurement respectively, and Hillsborough County and Tampa in Florida handling emergency services and fire rescue supply. Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing vehicle spans multiple states but carries no specific electromagnetic flowmeter requirements. The code shows no relevant recent activity and does not support decision-making for vendors in the blood flowmeter space. Firms pursuing this code should expect mismatched requisitions and should verify actual commodity needs against purchase orders rather than rely on UNSPSC coding accuracy at the point of posting.
