UNSPSC 85713855: Removal of infusion device from left carpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from left carpal joint, percutaneous 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 0RPR33Z

UNSPSC 85713855 Removal of infusion device from left carpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect administrative and operational healthcare services—occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical care networks—none of which involve the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local governments are not soliciting removal of infusion devices from carpal joints as a line item or service category under this code.

The mismatch between the code's clinical nomenclature and the buying activity suggests this code does not capture meaningful state and local procurement volume for the procedure itself. The posted opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Washington State (WSDOT Washington State Ferries), and Texas (Harris County), but none address orthopedic device removal services. Practitioners should verify whether carpal joint device removal is actually being procured by state and local bodies through a different UNSPSC code, or whether this code represents residual misclassification in procurement databases rather than active demand.
