UNSPSC 85515122: Removal of infusion device from lower artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from lower artery, 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 04PY33Z

UNSPSC 85515122 Removal of infusion device from lower artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not map meaningfully to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific invasive medical procedure—percutaneous removal of an infusion device from a lower extremity artery—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code solicitation tag involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical centers of excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and pediatric emergency medical services. None of these activities involve the removal of infusion devices or align with the procedural specificity the code names.

The geographic scope of these opportunities spans Washington State, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with issuing bodies including state transportation departments, county health systems, county commissioners, city retirement offices, and county juvenile justice authorities. The recent solicitations indicate that state and local procurement offices may have misclassified these healthcare service and staffing contracts under a code designed for a narrowly defined surgical procedure rather than selecting codes that match the actual scope of services being purchased. No opportunities in the source material involve infusion device removal or percutaneous arterial intervention. Vendors evaluating this code should verify that any future opportunities tagged under it genuinely involve the clinical service the code describes before committing bid resources.
