This 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 BT17YZZ

UNSPSC 85877418 Fluoroscopy of left ureter using other contrast is a Commodity code that in practice maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve diagnostic imaging systems (a Picture Archiving and Communication System platform), ultrasound equipment, and phlebotomy services — none of which are fluoroscopy procedures or urological imaging. The code's nominal scope describes a specific clinical imaging procedure, yet the solicitations are purchasing infrastructure, equipment, and clinical support services that fall outside that definition. State and local health care purchasers appear to be using this code inconsistently or incorrectly when tagging opportunities that involve imaging modalities or clinical diagnostic work more broadly.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of county health systems and municipal public safety agencies: San Mateo County Medical Center (California), Collier County Procurement Services (Florida), and Albuquerque Police Department (New Mexico). The San Mateo opportunity, posted July 9, 2026 with an August 7, 2026 response deadline, seeks an RFP for a comprehensive PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration and 99.9% uptime requirements across a 9–12 month deployment. The Collier County notice (posted April 1, 2026) pursued a single-source procurement of specialized ultrasound equipment (KOSMOS platform with TORSO-ONE probe) from EchoNous, Inc. The Albuquerque Police Department issued an RFB on January 26, 2026 (due February 25, 2026) for on-call phlebotomy technicians covering 365-day-a-year service across Bernalillo County. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited signals low relevance for business development purposes under this specific Commodity classification.
