UNSPSC 85493535: Replacement of ventricular septum with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of ventricular septum with synthetic substitute, 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 02RM4JZ

UNSPSC 85493535, Replacement of ventricular septum with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its stated scope. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve ventricular septum replacement or cardiac device implantation. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the source level or that this code has been repurposed within a particular jurisdiction's taxonomy to designate something other than its UNSPSC definition.

The geographic spread of the misaligned opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Cities of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (WSDOT), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Without recent opportunities that actually solicit ventricular septum replacement services or related cardiac surgical products and supplies, this code presents no actionable procurement signal for vendors in that device or service category. State and local buyers do not appear to be actively purchasing under the code's nominal scope at present.
