UNSPSC 85493387: Extirpation of matter from atrial septum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from atrial septum, percutaneous 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 02C53ZZ

UNSPSC 85493387 Extirpation of matter from atrial septum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect medical services procurement unrelated to that procedure — including disability pension medical evaluation, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these services involve extirpation of atrial septal matter or percutaneous cardiac intervention. The code's application to these opportunities appears to be a classification error in state and local procurement systems rather than a signal of actual demand for the cardiac procedure itself.

State and local governments show no recent activity actually soliciting atrial septum extirpation services or related percutaneous cardiac procedures under this code. Procurement offices in California, Florida, Washington, Arizona, and Texas have posted opportunities in the medical-services family, but those solicitations target administrative, operational, and occupational health functions rather than invasive cardiac surgery. The code shows little decision relevance for firms in cardiac device placement, interventional cardiology, or related procedural services.
