This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of infusion device in thoracolumbar vertebral disc, 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 0RWB03Z

UNSPSC 85715504 Revision of infusion device in thoracolumbar vertebral disc, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System)—are health administration, occupational medicine, and staffing services unrelated to spinal infusion device revision or implantable device procurement. None of these solicitations concern medical devices, surgical implants, or the orthopedic surgical procedures this code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's intended scope and the actual work being procured suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or that state and local governments do not use this code to tag device-related purchases at the commodity level. Buyers pursuing spinal implant device opportunities should monitor procurement channels directly rather than rely on this UNSPSC code for lead generation. The recent activity under this number does not support a pursue decision.
