This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from right finger phalangeal joint, open 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 0RPW03Z

UNSPSC 85713315 Removal of infusion device from right finger phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure—extraction of an infusion device from a finger joint using an open surgical approach. Recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code, however, involve medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve orthopedic device removal or hand surgery. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source records or a fundamental misalignment between the code taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices are applying it.

The recent opportunities show issuing bodies spanning county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), county commissioners (Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal health plans (City of Long Beach). No repeat buyers or concentrated issuing pattern emerges from the block. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no dominant jurisdiction. Because the code's abstract definition and the actual solicited work diverge materially, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local opportunities in orthopedic device procurement, surgical staffing, or hand-surgery-related services.
