UNSPSC 85818401: Irrigation of pericardial cavity using irrigating substance, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to irrigation of pericardial cavity using irrigating substance, percutaneous approach. This administrative 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 3E1Y38Z

UNSPSC 85818401 Irrigation of pericardial cavity using irrigating substance, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not relate to pericardial irrigation or cardiac procedures. Instead, solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve the cardiac intervention specified in the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code designation does not reflect actual procurement activity in the state and local market for this commodity.

Without solicitations actually seeking pericardial irrigation services or related interventional cardiac procedures, no geographic concentration, issuing-body pattern, or representative recent opportunity can be identified under this code. Buyers pursuing state and local contracts in interventional cardiology or cardiac surgery support should monitor codes aligned with actual cardiac procedure procurement rather than rely on this designation.
