UNSPSC 85472018: Removal of drainage device from cerebral ventricle, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from cerebral ventricle, 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 00P640Z

UNSPSC 85472018 Removal of drainage device from cerebral ventricle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for neurosurgical device removal, but the six recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve neurosurgical procedures or cerebral ventricle drainage devices. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the posting systems or that the code is being used incorrectly by issuing bodies to categorize broader health administration and occupational medical services. State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect its nominal scope.

No substantive market activity exists under this code for the procedure it is intended to describe. Business development professionals pursuing neurosurgical devices or procedures should verify the applicable UNSPSC code independently rather than relying on the current tagging of opportunities under 85472018.
