UNSPSC 85471622: Removal of monitoring device from brain, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from brain, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 00P042Z

UNSPSC 85471622, Removal of monitoring device from brain, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code in state and local procurement span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve removal of intracranial monitoring devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the code's medical procedure definition and what state and local procurement offices actually use the code to label.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health plan administrators (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners' offices (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Without a single solicitation matching the code's stated scope — percutaneous endoscopic removal of brain-implanted monitoring devices — the code appears inactive for its intended clinical service line in state and local contracting. Firms pursuing medical device or neurosurgical work should not rely on this code as a reliable signal of actual demand.
