This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from right 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 0RPL43Z

UNSPSC 85712737, Removal of infusion device from right elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code designates a specific surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic device removal services. Instead, they span disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which correspond to percutaneous endoscopic removal of infusion devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC designation and current buying practice under this code number.

The identifiable issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (serving the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries), the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic occupational health examinations across 14 ferry system locations, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability medical record review and examination coordination supporting approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability applications. Without concrete evidence that state and local governments are actively procuring the procedure named in the code, pursuit under this designation warrants verification against the actual scope of work required in target opportunities.
