This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from right carpal 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 0RPQ40Z

UNSPSC 85714364, Removal of drainage device from right carpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's medical-procedure name does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic joint procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the underlying procurement database or a data integrity issue that undermines the code's reliability for forecasting actual procurements in this category.

State and local issuers appear to be using this code incorrectly or inconsistently. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services; the City of Long Beach sought a surgical procedure carve-out benefit administrator for employee health plans; the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department requested information on specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody; and Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management services. Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Without transparent, consistent UNSPSC coding at the commodity level, pursuing this code requires direct engagement with issuing bodies rather than reliance on category-level trend signals.
