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 08W170Z

UNSPSC 85551514 Revision of drainage device in left eye, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that the recent state and local procurement record shows is not being actively solicited by state or local governments. The code nominally describes a specific ophthalmic surgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's stated scope of ophthalmologic drainage-device revision. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomy coding error in the state and local procurement systems that generated these records or that the code is being used as a catch-all health services classifier rather than for the specific ophthalmic procedure it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies across the available records include county health systems, county human resources departments managing employee benefits, a state transportation agency, a state juvenile probation department, and municipal retirement offices — a mix spanning health administration, occupational health, employee benefits, and public safety personnel support rather than ophthalmologic surgery contracting. No clear concentration of recent activity under this code emerges. Given the absence of opportunities actually soliciting ophthalmic drainage device revision services or related supplies, pursuing this code would require direct outreach to ophthalmology-focused clinics, hospital surgical centers, or state health departments rather than reliance on posted solicitation activity.
