UNSPSC 85761846: Removal of drainage device from pericardial cavity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from pericardial cavity, 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 0WPD00Z

UNSPSC 85761846 Removal of drainage device from pericardial cavity, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no connection to surgical removal of pericardial drainage devices. The code appears to be a misclassification tag applied to healthcare-related solicitations that fall outside its nominal scope of a specific cardiac surgical procedure.

Given the mismatch between the code's narrow medical procedure definition and the diverse healthcare administration and staffing work actually being solicited, this code does not represent a viable pursuit opportunity for vendors in the surgical device, cardiac surgery support, or hospital supply sectors. The recent activity suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities or inadvertent tagging errors rather than genuine demand for pericardial drainage device removal services.
