UNSPSC 85515226: Removal of monitoring device from lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from lower artery, 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 04PY42Z

UNSPSC 85515226 Removal of monitoring device from lower artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of monitoring devices from lower arteries via percutaneous endoscopic approach. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), indicating broad geographic and organizational spread typical of health-related state and local purchasing; however, the opportunities themselves do not correspond to the code's stated scope.

The recent solicitations under this code designation appear to reflect miscoding or system misclassification rather than genuine procurement activity aligned with the commodity description. No representative opportunities directly procure the surgical procedure named in the code. State and local procurement professionals should verify code alignment with their internal taxonomy when evaluating this category, as the current tagging does not surface relevant activity for firms pursuing vascular surgery, endoscopic interventions, or related medical device removal services.
