This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from left hip 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 0SPB03Z

UNSPSC 85723449 Removal of infusion device from left hip joint, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but state and local governments are not soliciting removal of infusion devices under this code. Recent opportunities tagged to this UNSPSC instead involve occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out networks — none of which correspond to the surgical procedure the code names.

The source contains no recent state and local opportunities substantively related to removal of infusion devices from hip joints or comparable orthopedic device extraction work. The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the issuing bodies' actual buying patterns (medical evaluation services, occupational surveillance, pharmacy administration, temporary staffing) suggests either miscoding by procurement offices or a divergence between the code's intent and its use in practice. No geographic concentration, repeat buyers, or representative procurement activity under this code can be identified from the record.
