UNSPSC 85713440: Insertion of infusion device into right carpal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into right carpal 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 0RHQ03Z

UNSPSC 85713440 Insertion of infusion device into right carpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure for implanting an infusion device into the right wrist joint—does not match the healthcare-related opportunities posted under this classification.

The recent solicitations tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica Fire Department, California). None of these represent orthopedic surgical implants or wrist joint procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or the code's use as a placeholder for broader healthcare procurement that does not reflect the code's actual commodity definition. State and local health care purchasers appear to use this code inconsistently or incorrectly, making it an unreliable signal for vendors pursuing clinical device or surgical-procedure supply contracts.
