This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from left elbow joint, 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 0RPM43Z

UNSPSC 85712729 Removal of infusion device from left elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluation services, and surgical carve-out benefit programs for public employees—none of which involve infusion device removal or elbow joint procedures. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source data or that the UNSPSC taxonomy entry does not accurately reflect current procurement use.

Recent opportunities have been posted by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program for employee health plans, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Collier County in Florida (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara in California (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies span county governments, state departments, and municipal health systems across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. Given the disconnect between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual procurement activity reported, this code does not present a reliable vehicle for business development targeting in its stated commodity scope.
