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 0RPPX0Z

UNSPSC 85711910 Removal of drainage device from left wrist joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's precise procedure-code designation does not appear in contemporary state and local solicitations. Instead, recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention emergency medical services—none of which involve orthopedic device removal. The issuing bodies range across state health departments, counties, cities, public pension boards, and county health systems, with no clear pattern of repeat buyers under this specific code.

Recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington State. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (occupational disability assessments for public safety personnel retirement determinations, proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (baseline and periodic examinations for shipyard and vessel workers, proposals due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code's mismatch with actual buying activity suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this commodity code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for current health service needs.
