UNSPSC 85541937: Removal of drainage device from cisterna chyli, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from cisterna chyli, 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 07PL40Z

UNSPSC 85541937 Removal of drainage device from cisterna chyli, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a highly specialized surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve removal of drainage devices from the cisterna chyli. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code has been incorrectly applied to these opportunities or is used inconsistently within state and local procurement systems.

The mix of issuing bodies posting under the code spans state health agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems, but the opportunities themselves address administrative and staffing functions rather than the specialized surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Without recent opportunities genuinely aligned to drainage-device removal or related percutaneous endoscopic procedures, this code presents no actionable procurement signal for firms pursuing work in that clinical specialty. Firms interested in state and local medical procurement should monitor for recoding or watch for opportunities under broader surgical-services codes rather than this narrow Commodity designation.
