This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from heart, external 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 02PAX3Z

UNSPSC 85492623 Removal of infusion device from heart, external approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its clinical taxonomy label and the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing for hospital systems, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which concern the removal of cardiac infusion devices. The code sees little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris, Collier), and municipal governments (Long Beach). Geographically, recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. When present, representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). The code's current tagging appears to reflect administrative or data-entry error rather than intentional classification of cardiac device procurement.
