UNSPSC 42294604: Autotransfusion filters

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a autotransfusion filter during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Autotransfusion filters under 21 CFR 868.5830 and under FDA product code CAC. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42294604 Autotransfusion filters is a Commodity code that nominally covers blood recirculation and salvage devices used in surgical and trauma settings. However, the most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show minimal activity directly aligned with autotransfusion filtration; the three opportunities on file are mislabeled or tangential to the code's core scope. The available records indicate solicitations for laser equipment and OR technical support (San Mateo County Medical Center, RFP, due Aug 21, 2026), a broad information systems infrastructure procurement (State of California, RFB-IS-26200983, due Jun 4, 2026), and a cooperative law enforcement equipment contracting solution through Sourcewell (RFP #061626, due Jun 16, 2026). None of these solicitations directly address autotransfusion filters, blood salvage systems, or related intraoperative cell recovery devices. The issuing bodies span county health systems, state procurement offices, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles, but none of the current opportunities align with the actual product category.

The geographic distribution captured in the recent records spans California, Minnesota, Washington, and multiple Pacific Northwest jurisdictions through the Sourcewell cooperative, yet this distribution does not reflect demand for autotransfusion filtration products. Given the absence of relevant solicitations under this code in the posted data, state and local procurement activity for autotransfusion filters is not currently visible in recent contract opportunities. Business development professionals should monitor this code for future activity, as the current mislabeling suggests either data quality issues in the source system or minimal recent demand from state and local health systems for this specific device category.
