UNSPSC 85712745: Removal of drainage device from left shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from left shoulder 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 0RPK40Z

UNSPSC 85712745 Removal of drainage device from left shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated medical procedure classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal; instead, they address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out networks for general populations, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations align with the specific procedure named in the code.

The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices have applied this code broadly or incorrectly to administrative and operational health services rather than to the discrete orthopedic surgical intervention the code nominally describes. Without opportunities that actually solicit orthopedic device removal services or related surgical supplies, the code does not support a meaningful profile of state and local buying activity in its intended scope. Vendors pursuing business in occupational health services, disability medical evaluations, or health plan administration should focus on those specific commodity and service codes rather than this one.
