UNSPSC 42295304: Surgical phrenic insulation nerve pads

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a phrenic insulation nerve pad during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates surgical phrenic insulation nerve pads under 21 CFR 870.4210 and under FDA product code DWF. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42295304 Surgical phrenic insulation nerve pads is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity under this taxonomy designation. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code—orthopedic hardware extraction systems, law enforcement equipment, and spinal implants—fall outside the scope of phrenic nerve surgical products. San Mateo Medical Center's July 2026 RFP sought orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification and Northern California technical support availability. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio's March 2026 RFP procured spinal implant systems and instrumentation across cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral/pelvic spine constructs on a bill-only basis for a newly opened 144-bed hospital with 12 operating rooms, mandating a Historically Underutilized Business Subcontracting Plan and multi-award to several qualified vendors. Neither opportunity involves phrenic nerve surgical products; the code's recent posting history does not reflect demand for the medical devices nominally described in its name.

The issuing bodies represented are a county-operated acute-care health system (San Mateo Medical Center) and a state university health science center (UTHSA), neither of which appear to solicit regularly under this code. Geographic activity is confined to California and Texas based on the three opportunities shown. The mismatch between the code's abstract title and the actual work being purchased suggests either tagging error by the procurement offices or that surgical phrenic insulation nerve pads represent a very narrow or declining category in state and local medical procurement. Business development professionals should verify whether this code reflects active demand or has been deprecated in favor of more specific spinal or orthopedic implant classifications. No recent opportunities directly soliciting phrenic nerve surgical products appear in the available record.
