UNSPSC 85492733: Removal of infusion device from great vessel, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from great vessel, open 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 02PY03Z

UNSPSC 85492733 Removal of infusion device from great vessel, open approach is a Commodity code whose title reflects a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears no relation to that clinical intervention. The recent opportunities posted under this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve infusion device removal. This mismatch indicates that the code is being applied incorrectly by issuing bodies or that the code's assignment in the source data does not reflect actual procurement scope. No state and local opportunities actually soliciting infusion device removal or related cardiovascular procedural services appear in the recent activity.

The issuing bodies using this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employers (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Because the opportunities under this code do not align with the code's stated medical procedure scope, practitioners should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before pursuing work in occupational health, benefits administration, or emergency medical services under this designation.
