U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

About the Consumer Product Safety Commission

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) was established in 1972 as an

independent federal regulatory agency and is charged with protecting the public from unsafe

consumer products. CPSC has jurisdiction over some 15,000 types of consumer products such

as power tools, furniture, and toys, and recreational activities such as baseball and hiking.

CPSC uses a public health approach for the prevention of fatal and nonfatal injuries, including

education, enforcement, and engineering strategies. CPSC works to reduce the risk of injuries

and deaths from consumer products by developing voluntary standards with industry; issuing

and enforcing mandatory standards; banning consumer products if no standard would

adequately protect the public; obtaining the recall of products and arranging for their repair,

replacement, or a refund; conducting research on potential product hazards; and informing and

educating consumers through the media, state and local governments, private organizations,

and by responding to consumer inquiries.

About the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System

The primary purpose of the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) is to provide

timely data on unintentional consumer product-related injuries and deaths occurring in the U.S.

NEISS injury data are gathered from the emergency departments (ED) of 96 hospitals selected as a

probability sample of all U.S. hospitals with 24-hour EDs and at least 6 inpatient beds. Each

participating NEISS hospital is hand-selected by CPSC because it provides an important

representation of all other hospitals of its size and unique characteristics in the U.S.

Since 1972, NEISS data have enabled CPSC analysts to make timely national estimates of the

number of injuries associated with (not necessarily caused by) specific consumer products and

recreational activities within the jurisdiction of CPSC.

Since 1978, CPSC has assisted other federal

agencies by collecting data of special interest through NEISS. This allows other agencies to quickly

and easily gather critically needed, national data without the investment in personnel, time, and

funding that designing, implementing, and executing an independent special survey would require.

NEISS serves as a model for surveillance systems that collect injury data around the world.

Information gathered from NEISS, together with data from other CPSC sources, guides the

CPSC in setting priorities for further study and also may provide the CPSC with evidence of the need

for product recalls or bans, public safety standards, and public awareness campaigns.

NEISS Changes and Enhancements

Occasionally, CPSC staff alter NEISS operational data collection and coding rules to accommodate

the needs of other federal agencies or to reflect decisions about which consumer products fall under

CPSC’s jurisdiction. Over time, CPSC staff have modified the definitions of NEISS variables

collected. For example, product codes have been added, deleted, combined, or split into two or

more codes. This is especially important as new consumer products continually emerge into the U.S.

market.

In 2000, CPSC, in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),

expanded NEISS to collect data on all injuries and this expanded system became known as NEISS-

All Injury Program (AIP).

With the expansion to NEISS-AIP, NEISS became an even more

important public health surveillance tool for other federal agencies and a variety of users in the

U.S. and around the world.

The expanded system, which is implemented in a subset of NEISS

hospitals, includes data collection on both unintentional and intentional (e.g., assaults, suicides)

injuries, including those that do not involve a consumer product under the jurisdiction of CPSC

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

Currently, 66 out of the 96 NEISS hospitals collect data under NEISS-AIP. NOTE: Your

hospital is not collecting data under NEISS-AIP.

In 2018, NEISS had its first major update since the NEISS-AIP expansion. In addition to

formatting changes, the following major changes were made: (1) Diagnosis 2 and Body Part 2

variables were added; (2) Product 3 variable was added; (3) Ethnicity variable was added; (4)

Drugs/Medication and Alcohol use variables were added; and (5) the allowable length and

requirements of the narrative comment were changed. These changes were fully implemented

on January 1, 2019.

About this NEISS Coding Manual

This coding manual will assist the NEISS coder in determining when and how to code NEISS

cases in the PC-NEISS system. The PC-NEISS system is only available on the CPSC-issued

laptop computer(s) provided to each NEISS hospital. For detailed instructions about the PC-

NEISS software, including instructions for uploading data, please see the PC-NEISS User

Manual available on the Desktop of the CPSC-issued laptop computer. CPSC staff will also

provide you a hard copy of the PC-NEISS User Manual upon request.

NEISS data users rely on coding that is consistent and easy to understand. Compliance with

this guidance will enable CPSC to conduct improved quality control of data submitted.

Important Definitions

Consumer Product

A consumer product is defined as any article, or component part thereof, produced or distributed

for sale to or use by a consumer in or around a home, school, in recreation, or otherwise (U.S.

Government Accountability Office, 2014). While CPSC has jurisdiction over some 15,000 types

of products, some consumer products fall outside the jurisdiction of the CPSC (e.g., alcohol,

licensed motor vehicles, drugs, cosmetics, firearms). A comprehensive list of consumer

products that NEISS coders are likely to encounter is located in the alphabetical reference in

this coding manual. Product codes that are underlined in the alphabetical reference are

consumer products or other objects that fall outside of CPSC jurisdiction.

External Cause

In medicine, an external cause is a reason for the existence of a medical condition which can be

associated with a specific object or acute process that was caused by something outside the

body. External causes of injury are critical for understanding an injury event. In this coding

manual, we may refer to an event as having an external cause of injury rather than an actual

injury. This is because NEISS coders will encounter reportable cases where an external cause

of injury was present (e.g., bicycle crash), but where there is no noted injury diagnosis.

Injury

Injury is defined as any unintentional (i.e., unplanned) or intentional damage to the body

resulting from acute (i.e., excessive) exposure to thermal, mechanical, electrical, or chemical

energy or from the absence of essentials such as heat or oxygen. (Control., 1989) Injuries

typically occur during a brief period of time or during a single, instantaneous event. Injury

includes trauma from motor vehicle crashes, falls, poisoning, burns, suffocation, and drowning.

Injury may be fatal or nonfatal. (Christoffel, 1999)

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

NEISS Data Reporting Process

The success of NEISS depends upon adequate documentation by medical providers in the ED,

correct identification of reportable cases by a NEISS coder, and accurate coding of all

reportable cases by a NEISS coder. Every case coded must include information about the

patient, the incident (i.e., who, what, why, where, when, how), the injury and any product(s)

associated with the injury. Because the cases a NEISS hospital reports are used to develop

national estimates, just one case reported by a NEISS hospital represents up to 50 cases of a

similar kind nationally. Before coding for NEISS, the coder must be formally trained by CPSC

staff.

The data collection process begins when a patient is registered in the ED of a NEISS hospital.

ED staff members elicit critical information as to how the injury occurred and document that

information in the patient's medical record. It is important that NEISS coders work closely with

ED staff to ensure that documentation is adequate.

Each day or every few days, a NEISS coder reviews all ED records for a treatment date (i.e.,

date of ED visit), and codes each case that meets the criteria for inclusion in NEISS. The NEISS

coder abstracts pertinent data from the selected ED record and transcribes it as coded variables

and a brief narrative comment as a NEISS case in a CPSC-supplied laptop computer using

rules described in this coding manual.

Following completion of NEISS data entry each day, the NEISS coder submits cases to CPSC

using a secure, encrypted Internet transfer system. Once transmitted, NEISS data undergoes

several reviews and data checks before the data is finalized. The CPSC analytical process

begins on the same morning the NEISS data are collected. Analysts at CPSC check data for

quality control and screen cases for potential emerging hazards. It is essential that each case

reported be as complete and accurate as possible.

Reviewing Hospital Records

The NEISS coder must screen every ED visit for inclusion in NEISS by reviewing each patient

medical record. This screening process should occur for each treatment date and by calendar

day order. Treatment days should never be skipped. The coder must review all visits that result

in creation of an ED record, regardless of whether the patient was treated and released, left

without being seen, was admitted to the hospital, or was transferred to another hospital. When

more than one coder is coding for NEISS, it is important that the coders coordinate their

coding so that treatment dates are not duplicated or skipped. It is very important that the

NEISS coder ensures that records of all patients seen in the ED are reviewed. NEISS coders

must ensure that they maintain access to the records of all patients that were seen in the ED,

such as admitted patients, deceased patients, trauma patients, transfer patients, burn center

patients, etc. In some NEISS hospitals, populations of patients may be lost from the ED log

once a transfer to another part of the hospital occurs. Be aware that some places of emergency

care may be physically separate from the main ED in the hospital. For example, consider visits

for emergency care to both adult and pediatric EDs and urgent care tracks in the ED.

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

Determining Reportable Cases

Do Report

The following types of ED visits should be reported to NEISS:

• All unintentional, not work-related, fatal and nonfatal injury events associated with a

consumer product or recreational activity within CPSC jurisdiction (includes ED visits

with an external cause of injury noted, regardless of diagnosis);

• Assaults and suicide attempts when the victim(s) and perpetrator(s) are both ages 12

years old and younger.

• Illnesses, allergic reactions, and symptoms whose onset is associated with a

consumer product, sport or recreational activity within CPSC jurisdiction and that are

not work-related;

• Injuries associated with hot water, carbon monoxide, and gas fumes or vapors, when the

source is unknown

• injuries associated with house or mobile home fires, even if no consumer product within

CPSC jurisdiction is identified; and

• All ED visits that otherwise qualify for a Special Study (see Special Study Appendices)

including:

o All poisonings (ingestions) and chemical burns to children less than 5 years

of age (i.e., associated with drugs, medications, or any other substances);

o All injuries involving firearms or personal protective equipment (e.g., pepper

spray)

Examples of reportable cases involving injury events or external causes of injury:

• falls associated with a product within CPSC jurisdiction (e.g., toys, stairs, floor) even

without an injury diagnosis (e.g., well child check)

• injuries that occur while participating in sports or recreational activities, including heat

exhaustion, heatstroke, sunstroke, and sunburn;

• injuries associated with bicycles, even if a motor vehicle was involved;

• injuries associated with stairs, ramps, floors, walls, elevators, escalators, etc., wherever

available for use by consumers;

• injuries that mention any kind of infant or nursery equipment;

• injuries associated with toys and games;

• injuries that result from fires of fabrics, household goods, home heating and cooling

equipment, etc.;

Examples of reportable cases involving illnesses, allergic reactions, and symptoms:

• rashes or itching after use of new laundry detergents, soaps, or household cleaners;

• rhabdomyolysis after heavy weightlifting;

• nausea and vomiting during exercise on a treadmill;

• carpal tunnel syndrome after swinging a hammer all week to build a deck;

• asthma attack that started while playing basketball;

If a patient visits the ED multiple times for the same incident, the incident must only be reported

one time. If new information becomes available with a subsequent visit, the NEISS coder

should update the information in the NEISS record for the first visit rather than create a new

NEISS record (e.g., patient returns to the ED with cellulitis several days after previous ED visit

for a laceration after cutting a finger with a kitchen knife).

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

If a patient returns to the ED (even on the same treatment date) for a new incident unrelated to

the first incident, each of the visits must be coded separately (e.g., patient broke his wrist last

week playing basketball, and comes in today because he tripped and hit his cast against a

door).

For patients that frequent the ED, all visits are reportable whenever they appear to be distinct

incidents (e.g., person returns to ED second night in a row for a fall to the floor).

Do Not Report

The following types of ED visits should not be reported to NEISS:

• Transfers from any hospitals in the U.S. or its territories;

• Repeat visits for the same event;

• Injury events or cases with external causes of injury without a consumer product

involved (e.g., fell to ground, fell on curb, hit by rock);

• Injury events or cases with external causes of injury associated only with products

outside of CPSC jurisdiction and that do not qualify for a special study. This includes

cases involving only:

o automobiles and motorcycles;

o trains, boats, and planes;

o food;

o local government equipment or fixtures (e.g., fire hydrants, telephone poles,

traffic signs, commercial mailboxes, sidewalks, streets);

o illegal drugs; and

o medical devices.

• Illnesses, allergic reactions, and symptoms associated only with products outside of

CPSC jurisdiction and that do not qualify for a special study;

• Injuries associated with parts of products where the product is unknown (e.g., piece of

broken glass, piece of metal);

• Complications of medical/surgical procedures;

• Injuries associated only with alcohol, drugs, medicines, cosmetics, or pesticides to

people age 5 and older;

• Intentional injuries, such as assaults and suicide attempts (unless the case otherwise

qualifies for the firearms special study, or when the victim(s) and perpetrator(s) are both

ages 12 years and younger).

• Injuries that occur while working (unless the case otherwise qualifies for the firearms

special study).

• Injuries or illnesses from plants (unless the onset is associated with a consumer product

or recreational activity (e.g., hiking, running) within CPSC jurisdiction).

• ED visits associated only with products listed as “Do not report” in the alphabetic listing

of the coding manual.

Examples of ED visits that typically are not reportable include:

• poison ivy after weeding in the garden without mention of a CPSC product;

• laceration after stepping on a piece of broken glass from an unknown source;

• vomiting after eating at a restaurant;

• child strapped into a car booster seat in a car that was rear ended.

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

Coding Instructions by Variable

Review and code cases in order of the date of treatment, unless otherwise directed by CPSC.

There is a section in this coding manual for each of the variables to be reported:

• Treatment Date

• Case Number

• Collection Date

• Comment

• Date of Birth

• Age

• Sex

• Hispanic (Ethnicity)

• Race

• Diagnosis 1 and 2

• Body Part 1 and 2

• Disposition

• Products 1, 2, and 3

• Alcohol

• Drugs/Medication

• Intent

• Location

• Fire Involvement

• Work-Related

Treatment Date

(8 characters)

The treatment date is another name for the date of ED treatment. The date of treatment is

usually recorded on a medical record at the time of registration (i.e., entry to the hospital). The

format for coding this variable is MM/DD/YYYY.

Examples: Date of Treatment Code

July 23, 2019 07/23/2019

January 1, 2020 01/01/2020

Case Number

(8 characters - numbers only)

Each case reported to NEISS for a specific treatment date must have a unique case number.

Letters of the alphabet may not be used. It is very important that the case number allows the

coder to be able to find a case should CPSC have a question regarding the case.

Example: ED Case Number Code

12345678 12345678

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

When a NEISS hospital uses more than eight digits for its case numbers, code only the LAST

eight digits.

Example: ED Case Number Code

956781234 56781234

Do not code any letters of the alphabet, which may appear in your hospital's case number.

Substitute zeroes for any letters.

Example: ED Case Number Code

EA123456 00123456

Collection Date

The collection date is the date the NEISS coder codes the case. The collection date is

determined automatically by NEISS and cannot be changed by the coder or CPSC staff.

Comment

(up to 400 characters)

Every comment MUST comply with the following:

• Age and sex must be at the start of the comment (i.e., 10YOM, 11MOF)

• Be descriptive and include details about the incident (i.e., who, what, why, when, where,

how)

• Name and spelling of the product(s) must be correct

• Describe the sequence of events, alcohol/drug involvement, and the affected body

part(s) in the middle of the comment

• Include the blood alcohol level/concentration (BAC/BAL) or breath alcohol results

whenever alcohol is associated with the incident. If a BAC/BAL or breath alcohol was not

taken or recorded, the comment must state this.

• The relevant clinician’s diagnoses should be at the end of the comment exactly as

written in the ED record, and denoted with “DX:”. This abbreviation helps distinguish the

clinician’s diagnoses from other details about symptoms and complaints. If there are no

clinical diagnoses in the ED record, put “NO DX” at the end of comment.

• Quote verbatim the words actually used within the ED record.

For example:

• 60YOF woke up on floor, unsure if fell from bed or if woke up and fell, heavy alcohol use

night before. +5cm laceration thru all subcutaneous layers. BAC 0.19. DX: laceration of

forehead.

• 25YOM cut his hand when picking up broken glass from a bowl that dropped on the

floor. DX: laceration of superficial palmar arch of right hand; laceration of left index finger

without foreign body or damage to nail.

• 80YOF was cleaning with vacuum when walking from bedroom to hallway and caught

her foot on an extension cord, falling to face, hit head on wall and kitchen floor. +11 cm

laceration to frontal scalp. DX: fall; scalp laceration.

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

As demonstrated in the examples, the use of sentence case is recommended. In other words,

capitalize only the first word of each sentence and “DX:”

If the NEISS coder uses a symbol as an identifier (NOTE: only necessary for coders that

share computers), that symbol should be the last character typed in the comment.

Patient Age and Sex in Comment

Begin each comment with the patient’s age and sex using “Y” for year or “M” for months,

followed by “O” for old, and then “M” for male or “F” for female. When the patient’s sex is non-

binary or other in the ED record, include the exact description from the ED record. The coder

must pay careful attention to the age of the patient on the date of treatment and not at the

time the data is collected/reported to CPSC.

Examples:

ED record: NEISS Comment:

30-year-old male 30YOM

19-month-old female 19MOF

22-year-old non-binary 22YO non-binary

46-year-old transgender male 46YO transgender M

If the age or sex is unknown, use the following abbreviations:

ED record: NEISS Comment:

Unknown year old male Unknown Age M

Unknown age unknown sex Unknown Age/Sex

20 year old unknown sex 20YO Unknown Sex

Use of Abbreviations

Abbreviations other than those described herein (e.g., for age/sex; DX; BAC/BAL) must be

avoided whenever possible because data users cannot guess the meaning of most

abbreviations whether they are the general public, medical professionals, media professionals,

or researchers.

Never abbreviate product names. Uncommon or ambiguous abbreviations

are not acceptable and cases with these abbreviations will be returned to the coder for

correction.

Quote Information Verbatim from the Medical Record

Quote verbatim the words actually used on the ED record. Use the exact wording from the ED

record for products and clinical diagnoses. For example, do not reword humerus fracture as

“arm fracture”.

Description of the Incident

The Comment should include a description of what the patient was doing when the incident

occurred (i.e., the sequence of events), the product(s) involved, and the location where the

incident occurred. Refer to the ED notes of the attending physician, nurse, triage staff, and other

medical professionals for pertinent information. When available, include information about the

use (or lack of) protective equipment and devices (e.g., not wearing a helmet” or “smoke alarm

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

sounded”). If the incident is intentional (e.g., assault, suicide attempt, legal intervention), include

this information in the Comment.

Product Description and Brand Names

All products involved in the incident must be mentioned in the Comment field. Please

include the brand name, manufacturer, and model of any product associated with an injury

whenever such information is available. Product identification can never be too specific!

Remarks like "used crib from a garage sale" or "rental bicycle" are helpful in the absence of any

other product identification. If there is conflicting information on the product(s) involved, include

this information in the comment and code the products (e.g., not clear if patient fell out of a bed

versus chair).

Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

Do not include PII such as names, addresses (e.g., street, city), or birthdates in the Comment.

If other people are associated with the incident, refer to the other person by their relationship to

the patient (e.g., father, sister, classmate, or neighbor). If twins are involved in an incident, and

both twins are patients that will be coded in separate NEISS cases, be sure to indicate “Twin A”

or “Twin B” in the Comment just after the age.

Examples:

31YOF tripped on toy truck in son’s bedroom last night, toe is swollen. DX: toe sprain

3YOM (twin A) got into grandma’s bottle of heart pills with sibling. DX: Poisoning

3YOM (twin B) got into grandma’s bottle of heart pills with sibling. DX: Poisoning

Date of Birth

(8 characters-numbers only)

Instead of age, you can enter the Date of Birth and the PC-NEISS software will then

automatically calculate and insert the correct age of the patient based upon the treatment date.

This feature is especially useful for calculating the correct age in months for children under 2

years old.

Age

(up to 3 characters)

Enter the age of the patient on the date of treatment. Enter ages two and up exactly as years.

However, ages between birth and two years are entered in months because small differences in

age represent greater variation in motor, speech, and cognitive abilities.

For children under two years old, record the age in completed months (e.g., code the age of

infants who are four to seven weeks old as one month). To show that the age is in months

instead of years, put a "2" in the first space of the age code. Code the age of infants who are

less than one month old as one month (“201”).

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

Examples: Age Code

Three weeks 201

Four weeks (one month) 201

Seven weeks 201

Ten weeks 202

Nine months 209

Twelve months (one year) 212

Eighteen months 218

For a patient two years of age or older, record the age in years. For a patient 115 years of age

or older, record the age as 115 and indicate the actual age in the Comment. If the medical

record indicates the patient was born on January 1, 1900, please verify the patient’s age with

hospital staff – some hospitals use this date when the patient’s age is unknown. For a patient

whose age is unknown, record the age as zero (0).

Examples: Age Code

Two years 2

Eight years 8

Forty-five years 45

One hundred years 100

One hundred two years 102

Unknown 0

A common mistake is to enter the age of the patient based on the current date instead of the

treatment date. Hospital medical records systems automatically update the age based on the

current date, so if a patient has a birthday between the treatment date and the date the NEISS

coder reviews the case, the age in the medical record may not reflect the age of the patient on

the date of treatment.

Always ensure that the age coded in the variable and the age in the comment agree

before submitting data to CPSC!

Sex

(1 character)

Report the patient’s sex as it is recorded in the ED record. If the patient’s sex is recorded as

non-binary or other, use code 3. If the patient is transgender or intersex, code the patient’s sex

based on how it is recorded in the ED record (e.g., 1-male, 2-female, or 3-non-binary/other).

Hispanic?

(1 character)

The Hispanic variable is a variable that indicates ethnicity. Report Hispanic? as 1-Yes when the

ED record indicates the patient is Hispanic, Latino/Latina, or of Spanish origin. Hispanic ethnicity

includes people of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish

culture or origin regardless of race. If a medical record does not indicate an ethnicity, one should

not be assumed based upon factors such as last name of the patient.

If the ED Record …

Diagnosis 1 must always be coded. Diagnosis 2 is coded if there is more than one diagnosis.

As a reminder, all diagnoses coded must also be noted in the Comment field.

There are a total of 30 NEISS diagnosis codes and each code is 2 numerical characters. A

summary of the 30 NEISS diagnosis codes follows and may also be found in Appendix D.

Appendix B contains a list of NEISS injury diagnosis codes for the diagnoses that NEISS coders

are likely to encounter in ED medical records.

Other/Not Stated

71*

*When Diagnosis - 71 (Other/Not Stated) is entered in PC-NEISS, the cursor will tab to a

required “Diagnosis Other” field. The NEISS coder is required to enter a text string (up to 50

characters) describing the diagnosis verbatim as it is described in the ED medical record.

Finding the Diagnosis in the ED Record

The attending physician’s or other clinical provider’s (e.g., nurse practitioner, physician

assistant) notes should be used as the basis for selecting the appropriate diagnosis code(s) for

NEISS. Please note that a diagnostic word used by a medical provider at a hospital may

not be the same word used in NEISS. Carefully review the Discussion of Selected Diagnoses

section to learn how code Diagnosis 1 and Diagnosis 2 for a variety of common scenarios.

For example:

Clinician’s diagnosis NEISS diagnosis code

carbon monoxide poisoning 65 Anoxia

Inhalation injury from bleach fumes 68 Poisoning

foreign body trachea 42 Aspiration

anoxic brain injury due to near drowning 69 Submersion

Diagnostic information is usually found in the clinician’s notes, but may be found in other areas

of the ED record (e.g., discharge summary). The diagnosis may also be referred to by other

names (e.g., clinical impression, final diagnosis).

If the clinician’s diagnoses are non-specific (e.g., “DX: facial injury”, “DX: pain”), and more

specific information is available from other medical personnel (e.g., nursing notes document

5cm laceration on the right cheek), then use the specific information to determine the NEISS

diagnosis code(s).

For example:

37YOF states she stepped on a shard of broken wine glass yesterday and has 4cm

laceration to right heel. Dx acute foot pain

Diagnosis 1: 59-Laceration Body Part 1: 83-Foot

Diagnosis 2: - Body Part 2: -

If the clinician’s diagnoses are not available, then use diagnostic information provided by other

medical personnel (e.g., radiologist, physician’s assistant, nurse). If the record contains no

diagnoses by medical personnel, review the patient's complaint and the treatment(s) given to

choose the most appropriate diagnoses.

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

It is important to keep in mind that all fatal and nonfatal injury events involving CPSC

jurisdiction consumer products or recreational activities are reportable, regardless of

diagnosis. If the ED record indicates that there was an external cause of injury (e.g., fall down

stairs, bicycle crash) and there was no associated injury or diagnosis recorded in the ED

record, the Diagnosis 1 code is 71, Other/Not Stated.

For example:

20YOM brought to ED after minor fall down 3 stairs at fraternity party. Denies LOC. BAC

230. DX: acute alcohol poisoning.

Diagnosis 1: 71 – Other: “Not Stated” Body Part 1: 87-Not Stated

Diagnosis 2: - Body Part 2: -

Diagnosis Coding Priority

Diagnosis 1 should always reflect the most severe diagnosis associated with the consumer

product(s) or recreational activity(ies). If there are multiple diagnoses associated with the case,

code the most severe as Diagnosis 1, the next most severe as Diagnosis 2, and list all of the

diagnoses in the Comment. If there is no injury or diagnosis associated with case, Diagnosis 1

should be 71-Other.

Examples

23MOF got into a bottle of liquid detergent, drank some, vomited and is lethargic.

DX: Accidental poisoning

Diagnosis 1: 68-Poisoning Body Part 1: 85-All Parts of Body

Diagnosis 2: - Body Part 2: -

15MOM was found chewing on a flavored children’s aspirin pill, sitting next to the bottle

of pills, might be up to four missing. DX: Ingestion of aspirin

Diagnosis 1: 68-Poisoning Body Part 1: 85-All Parts of Body

Diagnosis 2: - Body Part 2: -

61YOF fell off bed onto floor, had been drinking earlier in the evening.

DX: Fall, Acute alcohol intoxication

Diagnosis 1: 71-Other: “Not Stated” Body Part 1: 87-Not Stated

Diagnosis 2: - Body Part 2: -

32YOM riding a bike home from the bar when he hit a parked car, not wearing helmet.

DX: Fractured right clavicle, Mild head injury, Alcohol intoxication

Diagnosis 1: 57-Fracture Body Part 1: 30-Shoulder

Diagnosis 2: 62-Internal Organ Injury Body Part 2: 75-Head

86YOF became dizzy, slipped on some water and fell to floor in bathroom, hip hurts. DX:

Adverse reaction to blood pressure meds, right femoral neck fracture, Contusion to right

cheek

Diagnosis 1: 57-Fracture Body Part 1: 79-Lower Trunk

Diagnosis 2: 53-Contusion Body Part 2: 76-Face

Fracture 5

metacarpal, Multiple lacerations left hand

Diagnosis 1: 57-Fracture Body Part 1: 82-Hand

Diagnosis 2: 59-Laceration Body Part 2: 82-Hand

PC-NEISS software will not allow the coder to enter the same combination of Diagnosis Code

and Body Part twice. Please remember to mention all diagnoses in the Comment.

Examples:

37YOM fell onto outstretched arms while riding a bicycle. DX: Fractured left radius and

ulna.

Diagnosis 1: 57-Fracture Body Part 1: 33-Lower Arm

Diagnosis 2: - Body Part 2: -

both wrists. DX: fractures of bilateral wrists

Diagnosis 1: 57-Fracture Body Part 1: 34-Wrist

Diagnosis 2: - Body Part 2: -

When Diagnoses Should Not Be Coded

Some ED diagnosis should not be coded:

• Unrelated illness, comorbidity, or preexisting conditions (e.g., diabetes, urinary tract

infection, flu).

• Symptoms of injuries (e.g., pain) where the injury is already coded for the same body

part (e.g., when there is arm pain due to fractured arm, code the fracture only).

• Behavioral and mental disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety), suicidal ideation (e.g.,

thoughts, plans)

Discussion of Selected Diagnoses in Alphabetical Order

Anoxia

Use code 65, Anoxia, when the patient cannot obtain sufficient oxygen, either due to hampered

breathing or lack of oxygen itself, and the anoxia is not due to poisoning, aspiration, or

drowning. Code 65, Anoxia when:

• The diagnosis is strangulation, suffocation, or asphyxia.

• The patient inhaled products of combustion, such as smoke, soot, or exhaust (e.g.,

generator, heating appliance, or camping equipment).

• The patient was exposed to carbon monoxide (CO), methane, propane, or natural gas.

Aspirated Foreign Object

Use code 42, Aspirated foreign object, when an object is inhaled, blocking the airway, or is

located in the respiratory tract (e.g., oropharynx, pharynx, larynx, trachea, or lungs). Commonly

aspirated objects include beads, coins, and thumbtacks. If a patient aspirates on liquids, use 42,

Aspirated foreign object, unless the aspiration was due to immersion, submersion or drowning.

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

If a foreign object is in the nose, and there is any uncertainty whether it was aspirated or

inserted, use 42, Aspirated foreign object.

Use this code when the only information in the ED record is that the patient “choked” or that an

object is in the “throat” (e.g., in cases where the patient left without being seen).

Avulsions, Contusions/Abrasions, and Lacerations

Use code 72, Avulsions, for avulsions, avulsion lacerations, degloving, and skin tears. Use code

53, Contusions/Abrasions, for abrasions, bruises, contusions, ecchymoses, friction burns,

scratches, and soft tissue injuries. Use code 59, Laceration, for lacerations and cuts. If a patient

has a wound due to cutting, slashing, or slicing with a sharp object, and there is no other

information, use 59, Laceration. Exceptions: Use code 57, Fracture, for avulsion fractures. Use

code 62, Internal organ injury, for any injuries to the brain, abdominal organs, and thoracic

organs (e.g., spleen laceration, cerebral contusion).

Burn Injuries

Try to get information about the kind of burn (chemical, electrical, scald, thermal, radiation). If

the clinician’s diagnosis is inadequate, the type of burn may be deduced from the kind of

incident and product(s) involved.

Scenario

Then Code:

Burns from arcing, electrical products

46, Electric burn

Burns from cold (e.g., ice, frostbite, frostnip)

47, Burn not specified

Burns from hot water, hot liquid, or steam

48, Scald burn

Contact with acids, alkalis, or caustics

49, Chemical burn

Chemical ignited causing injury from resulting flames

51, Thermal burn*

Burns from flammable liquids that ignited (e.g., gasoline,

kerosene, or lighter fluid)

51, Thermal burn*

Burn caused by touching the hot surface of lamp

51, Thermal burn

Burn caused by exposure to sun lamp

73, Radiation burn

Friction burns (e.g., “carpet burn”, “road rash”)

53, Contusions/Abrasions

Pulmonary burns

62, Internal organ injury

* For all thermal burns, the Comment should make it clear whether the burn came from flames

or a hot surface if the information is available.

Choking

Choking is a symptom. Do not assume that choking refers to aspiration. If there is any other

information available in the ED record, use that information to choose the diagnosis code. Only

use 42, Aspiration for choking when there is no other information available in the ED record

(e.g., patient left without being seen). For example, if the only diagnosis is “choking”, but an x-

ray indicates the object is in the esophagus, use 41, Ingestion.

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

Dermatitis and Conjunctivitis

Although dermatitis and conjunctivitis have an assigned diagnosis code (74), they are

considered illnesses (not injuries). Report dermatitis and conjunctivitis when a consumer

product, sport or recreational activity is associated with the onset, or the case qualifies for a

special study (e.g., poisoning or chemical burn to child under age 5). If the dermatitis is due to

ingestion of a substance, use diagnosis code 68, Poisoning.

Foreign Body

Use 56, Foreign Body when a solid object is embedded in the patient by force (e.g., splinter in

arm) or otherwise attached to the patient’s body (e.g., ring stuck on finger, hair tourniquet). If the

foreign body is a liquid in the eye, use 71, Other/Not Stated instead. Do not use 56-Foreign

Body for objects that enter the body through ingestion (41) or inhalation (42). If a foreign body is

in the nose, and there is uncertainty whether it was aspirated or inserted, use 42, Aspirated

foreign object.

Head Injuries

Code the most severe and specific diagnosis. A summary of diagnosis codes for common head

injuries follows:

Scenario

Then Code:

Cerebral contusion

62, Internal Organ Injury

Concussion

52, Concussion

Hematoma to external head,

includes cephalohematoma

58, Hematoma

Scalp laceration

59, Laceration

Subdural hematoma

62, Internal Organ Injury

If there is no specific diagnosis for the head injury, use 62, Internal organ injury. For example, if

the patient hit his head but left the ED before an ED diagnosis was recorded, use 62, Internal

organ injury.

More than one head injury may be coded. For example, diagnoses of closed head injury and

concussion are not mutually exclusive. If both diagnoses are listed in the medical record, then

both should be coded.

Infections due to Injuries

If the clinician’s only diagnosis is an infection due to an injury, also code the injury that led to the

infection.

Examples:

24yof lacerated foot when stepped on knife 2 days ago, now area around wound is red,

swollen and painful. DX: cellulitis of left foot.

Diagnosis 1: 71-Other: Cellulitis Body Part 1: 83-Foot

Diagnosis 2: 59-Laceration Body Part 2: 83-Foot

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

Ingested Foreign Object

Use code 41, Ingested foreign object, only when BOTH of the following conditions are met:

• The patient has swallowed an insoluble, solid object; that is, an item that will not dissolve

in liquid, and

• The swallowed object is not likely to cause poisoning.

Some commonly swallowed objects are coins, toy parts, buttons, nails, and crayons. The object

may or may not have lodged somewhere in the digestive tract (e.g., esophagus, stomach,

intestines). If the object is in the respiratory tract (e.g., trachea, lungs), use 42, Aspirated foreign

object.

Use this code when the only information in the medical record is that the patient “swallowed”

something and there is no evidence of aspiration or poisoning.

Internal Organ Injuries

Use code 62, Internal organ injury, for injuries to the brain, abdominal organs, and thoracic

organs that are not due to aspiration or ingestion. This includes organ injuries described as

contusions, lacerations, or hemorrhages (e.g., cardiac contusion, liver laceration, spleen

hemorrhage). Exception: The diagnosis of “acute kidney injury” is not necessarily a result of a

traumatic event, and may be caused by illness. If the acute kidney injury is due to drugs, use

68, Poisoning. If the acute kidney injury is due to crushing, use 54, Crushing. If a patient has

acute kidney injury due to a blunt force trauma, use 62, Internal organ injury.

Poisoning

Use code 68, Poisoning, when the patient:

• Swallowed either a liquid or soluble chemical or drug/medication. Chemicals that

may cause poisoning include liquids such as furniture polish, bleach, lighter fluid, paint,

gasoline and alcohol. Poisoning can also be caused by non-liquid household

substances such as charcoal, powder detergents, toilet bowl cleaning tablets, spackling

compounds and solid room deodorizers. These substances dissolve in liquid.

• Inhaled vapors, fumes or gases (e.g., from chemicals, cleaners, or fuels). Exception:

Use code 65, Anoxia, for inhalation of carbon monoxide (CO), smoke from fires,

products of combustion (e.g., exhaust), natural gas, or methane.

• Swallowed either a liquid or soluble chemical or drug and had an “allergic reaction”

(e.g., swelling, dermatitis, rashes, hives, urticaria, etc.).

• Had a systemic reaction (e.g., swelling, skin rash, etc.) from absorption of a product

through the skin (e.g., non-cosmetic dyes).

Please remember, it is always important to report product codes for any other product(s)

associated with child poisonings (e.g., pill or other container, medicine cabinet, counter, bottle).

Submersion (including Drowning or Near Drowning)

Use 69‐Submersion for fatal and nonfatal injuries associated with drowning. This includes

aspiration or ingestion of water while the patient is immersed in water (e.g., pool, tub, bucket).

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

Other

If none of the listed diagnoses in Appendix B is appropriate, use code 71, Other/Not Stated.

Record the exact wording of the diagnosis from the ED record in the Diagnosis Other variable

field.

Probable/Possible/Rule Out/Differential Diagnosis

If the medical record indicates that a diagnosis is “probable,” “possible,” “cannot be ruled out”

(also indicated as “Rule Out” or “R/O”), etc. and there is no other diagnostic information

available, then the unconfirmed diagnosis(es) should be coded. Unconfirmed diagnoses take

priority over vague symptoms such as pain.

Examples:

17YOM riding a bicycle without a helmet was struck by a car. DX: possible mild

traumatic brain injury.

Diagnosis 1: 62-Internal Organ Injury Body Part 1: 75-Head

Diagnosis 2: - Body Part 2: -

59YOF was playing shuffleboard developed pain in back. DX: acute right lower rib

contusion versus occult fracture.

Diagnosis 1: 53-Contusion Body Part 1: 31-Trunk, upper (rib)

Diagnosis 2: 57-Fracture Body Part 2: 31-Trunk, upper (rib)

89YOF with dementia, sent from urgent care facility to rule out head injury after suffered

unwitnessed fall out of chair. DX: fall.

Diagnosis 1: 62-Internal Organ Injury Body Part 1: 75-Head

Diagnosis 2: - Body Part 2: -

When No Diagnosis is Available

When there are no relevant physician’s diagnoses, use other information in the ED record. The

patient’s chief complaint may be used if there is no other diagnostic information available (e.g.,

the patient left without being seen). If there is no information, Diagnosis 1 = 71, Other: “Not

stated” may be used.

Sometimes the only information NEISS coders have about an injury is a clinical impression that

is not easily translatable to a NEISS diagnosis code. The following examples are some of these

common scenarios:

Scenario

Then Code:

Blister (not due to burn or chemical)

71-Other

Cut

59-Laceration

Fishhook injury

56-Foreign Body

Scratches

53-Contusion

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

Body Part 1 and 2

(2 characters each)

Body Part 1 must always be coded. Body Part 2 is coded if there is more than one body part

affected. As a reminder, all body parts coded must also be noted in the Comment field.

There are 26 NEISS Body Part codes. Refer to Appendix C for an in-depth list of body parts and

corresponding NEISS Body Part codes. Appendix D includes a body part diagram as a quick

reference. Appendix D will help you distinguish the boundaries between the body part codes

(e.g., upper vs lower trunk). The body part codes as follows:

Body Part Affected Code

Arm, lower (not including elbow or wrist)

Arm, upper

Ankle

Ear

Elbow

Eyeball

Face (including eyelid, eye area and nose)

Finger

Foot

Hand

Head

Internal (use with aspiration and ingestion)

Knee

Leg, lower (not including knee or ankle)

Leg, upper

Mouth (including lips, tongue and teeth)

Neck

Pubic region

Shoulder (including clavicle, collarbone)

Toe

Trunk, lower

Trunk, upper (not including shoulders)

Wrist

25-50% of body (used for burns only)

All parts of body (more than 50% of body)

Not recorded

If more than one Body Part is coded, Body Part 1 must correspond to Diagnosis 1 and Body

Part 2 must correspond to Diagnosis 2. If more than one body part is associated with one

diagnosis, code the body parts with the most severe injuries and mention all of the affected

body parts in the Comments.

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

Example:

55YOF had a large pot of boiling water with noodles on the stove, tried to pick it up and

dropped it because the handle was too hot. Water spilled on her arm, legs, and

abdomen. 25% TBSA. DX: Second degree burns to right forearm and both thighs, First

degree burns to abdomen.

Diagnosis 1: 48-Burns, Scald Body Part 1: 33-Arm, Lower

Diagnosis 2: 48-Burns, Scald Body Part 2: 81-Leg, Upper

When multiple diagnoses are represented by the same Diagnosis and Body Part code

combination, the Diagnosis code and Body Part code combination should only be entered once.

Example:

68YOF at home cleaning up, backed up and tripped on open dishwasher door, falling

backward and landing on left side. DX: fractured left radius and left ulna.

Diagnosis 1: 57-Fracture Body Part 1: 33-Lower arm

Diagnosis 2: - Body Part 2: -

Discussion of Body Part Affected for Selected Injuries

Back Injuries

For back injuries, determine whether the upper back (upper trunk/thoracic vertebrae, code 31),

or lower back (lower trunk/lumbar vertebrae, code 79), was involved and code accordingly. Use

the waist or navel as the dividing line to differentiate between upper and lower trunk. If the

diagnosis is simply “Back injury” and there is no other information in the ED record, use

code 31, Upper trunk. (Note: For cervical vertebrae, use Neck, code 89.)

Burn Injuries

If only one or two body parts were injured, code those body parts. Otherwise, code the two body

parts with the most severe burns. If more than two body parts were injured, code the body parts

with the most severe burns. Only use body part codes 84, 85, and 87 when no specific body

parts are mentioned in the ED record. If no specific body parts are identified, but the percent

of the body burned is stated (e.g., “18% TBSA”), then use one of the following:

• burns to less than 25% of the body: 87, Not stated

• burns to 25‐50% of the body: 84, 25-50% of body

• burns covering more than 50% of the body: 85, All of body

Extremity Injuries

For arm and leg injuries, note whether the upper or lower part of the arm was involved and code

accordingly. If there is no other information in the ED record, code unspecified areas of the arm

using 33-Lower Arm, and unspecified areas of the legs using 36-Lower Leg.

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

‘Upper extremity’ is a general term that may refer to the lower arm, upper arm, elbow, wrist,

hand, or fingers. If the specific area of the upper extremity is known, state and code that as the

body part. Otherwise, use 33-Lower Arm (the preferred code for unspecified areas of the arm).

‘Lower extremity’ is a general term that may refer to the lower leg, upper leg, knee, ankle, foot,

or toes. If the specific area of the lower extremity is known, state and code that as the body part.

Otherwise, use 36-Lower leg (the preferred code for unspecified areas of the leg).

Eye Injuries

For injuries to the eyelids, eyebrows, or the area immediately around the eyes (periorbital), use

code 76, Face. For an injury to the eye itself, use code 77, Eyeball.

Throat

“Throat” refers to the front of the neck, as well as the passage through the neck that leads to

both the digestive and respiratory tracts. If the ED record indicates that an object is in the

“throat,” do not assume that it refers to the respiratory tract. Use other information in the ED

record to determine where the object is located (e.g., “a splinter in the skin of the neck”, “inhaled

the object,” or “foreign body removal from the esophagus”).

Injury Diagnoses Affecting the Entire Body

As shown below, body part code 85, All of body, must always be used with four diagnosis

codes. In addition, body part code 0, Internal, must always be used with two other diagnosis

codes.

Product Involved (Product 1, Product, Product 3)

(4 characters each)

Reportable consumer products and recreational activities are listed alphabetically in this coding

manual. Product codes that are underlined in the alphabetical reference are consumer products

or other objects that fall outside of CPSC jurisdiction. Please note that the underlined products

may only be coded if the case qualifies for a special study.

Up to three product codes may be entered into the Product 1, Product 2, and Product 3 variable

fields for each NEISS case. If more than three products are involved in an incident, three must

be coded and all products must be mentioned in the Comment field.

Consult the alphabetic reference to select the most appropriate product code(s). CPSC

recommends that NEISS coders use an electronic version of the coding manual to search

for product codes. An electronic version of the coding manual is on the Desktop of the NEISS

laptop. To search a PDF version of the coding manual for a product code, use CTRL-F and type

in the word you are looking for. If a product cannot be found in the NEISS coding manual and

you believe it is reportable, it should be reported with temporary product code 9999, pending

assignment of an appropriate product code. CPSC will respond to a product coded 9999 with a

message indicating the correct code for the product. Product code 9999 is to be used as a last

resort and not as a substitute for thoroughly searching the coding manual. Use product code

5555 for poisonings and chemical burns to children under 5 years of age when the substance is

unknown or cannot be found in the NEISS coding manual.

When only one product is involved, enter it as Product 1 and use zeroes for Product Codes 2

and 3. Note: if Product 2 is coded “0000,” then Product 3 will automatically be coded “0000.”

Example:

86YOF slipped and hit her head on wet tile floor in her kitchen. DX: epistaxis

Product 1 = 1807 (floor)

Product 2 = 0000

Product 3 = 0000

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

When only two products are involved, code them as Product 1 and Product 2, and use

zeroes for Product Code 3.

Example: 11YOM riding a bicycle ran into a park bench. DX: concussion

Product 1 = 5040-Bicycles -or- Product 1 = 0687-Benches

Product 2 = 0687-Benches Product 2 = 5040-Bicycles

Product 3 = 0000 Product 3 = 0000

Exception: When two or more of the involved products are coded with the exact same product

code, only enter the product code once.

Example: 22YOF riding a bicycle collided with another cyclist. DX: clavicle fracture

Product 1 = 5040-Bicycles

Product 2 = 0000

Product 3 = 0000

When multiple products are involved, it does not matter in what order you enter them.

Exception: when more than three products are involved, product codes that trigger

special studies must be entered as one of the three variable product codes.

Example: 19MOF in a baby booster seat, not strapped in, reaching for something when

fell to floor, hitting eye on corner of the table.

Product 1 = 1556-Attachable high chairs

Product 2 = 1807-Floors or flooring materials

Product 3 = 4057-Tables

-or-

Product 1 = 1807-Floors or flooring materials

Product 2 = 4057-Tables

Product 3 = 1556-Attachable high chairs

-or-

Product 1 = 4057-Tables

Product 2 = 1556-Attachable high chairs

Product 3 = 1807-Floors or flooring materials

Need for Specific Product Information

The more specific the product information coded in a NEISS case, the more useful the data is to

CPSC and other data users. Whenever possible, code specific product information rather than

general categories of products, and include any details (e.g., brand name, model) about the

product in the Comment. For example, “gas oven” or “electric convection oven” are more useful

than just “oven”. As another example, report whether an injury from a saw involved a table saw,

chain saw, portable circular saw, radial arm saw, hand saw, saber saw, etc.

To get such detailed information, coders should continually encourage hospital triage

staff, nurses, physicians, and physician’s assistants to record specific product detail. If

you cannot get this kind of detail, at least try to emphasize the need to know whether the

product was powered or motorized (e.g., gas, electric) or unpowered or manual (e.g.,

power saw, hand saw).

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

If a product is not specified as "electric," "powered," or "motorized," do not assume it is unless

there is specific information in the ED record that makes it clear the product was powered (e.g.,

“patient injured while trying to start a lawn mower”).

Assignment of Product Code

The product code section of this manual provides an alphabetical listing of products and their

corresponding NEISS product codes. When product code names include more than one

product, there is an alphabetic listing for each product.

Example:

Bedspreads, throws or comforters .................................... 0667

Comforters

Use: Bedspreads, throws or comforters .............................. 0667

Throws

Use: Bedspreads, throws or comforters .............................. 0667

The alphabetic list also includes cross-references for products whose names are not part of the

product code title.

Example:

Afghans

Use: Bedspreads, throws or comforters............................... 0667

Handbags

Use: Clothing accessories ................................................... 1647

Specific Product Codes

Consult the alphabetic NEISS Product Codes section of the Coding Manual for the specific

product code. When words such as electric, gas, or portable are used in the ED record, first look

up the general product. For example, look up "Saws" rather than "Power saws," or look up

"Blankets" rather than "Electric blankets."

When more than one code exists for a particular type of product, choose among the various

eligible codes based on the information in the ED record.

Examples:

Pillows

Choose among:

Pillows (excl. water pillows) .............................................. 4050

Waterbeds or water pillows .............................................. 0662

Nursing pillows

Use: Pillows (excl. water pillows) ................................... 4050

Baby pillow wedges/sleep positioners

If not specified as powered,

Use: Paintbrushes or rollers, manual ................................. 0925

“Other” or “Not Elsewhere Classified” Products in a Category

Some groups of products include a separate product code for “Other” or “Not Elsewhere

Classified” products. Use this product code only when the ED record identifies a specific

product, but there is no code given for that particular product. When you select a product code

with "Other" or “Not Elsewhere Classified” in the title, please describe the particular product in

the Comments.

Examples:

Baby carriers

Choose among:

Baby slings and wraps .......................................................... 1560

Framed baby carriers (carried on the back) ......................... 1561

Other soft baby carriers ......................................................... 1562

Baby carriers (bicycle-mounted) ........................................ 1531

Other baby carriers ............................................................ 1549

Mixers

Choose among:

Electric mixers .................................................................... 0231

Kitchen gadgets, not elsewhere classified ......................... 0428

“Not Specified” Product in a Category

If there is no description of the product to help you choose a specific code or an "Other" or “Not

elsewhere classified” code, you may have to use a "Not specified" code. Not all product groups

have a "Not specified" code. In those cases, choose the best code from among those listed.

Examples:

Soldering Irons

Choose among:

Electronic soldering equipment .......................................... 0866

Non-electric soldering equipment ...................................... 0868

If type of soldering equipment is not specifically identified,

Use: Soldering equipment, not specified ........................... 0859

Products Included in a Code

Unless a product code title has qualifying words or phrases, it includes all varieties of that

product with the exception of toys. For example, "Televisions" includes all sizes, black and

white, color, free-standing, and cabinet models. However, a “toy television” is 5020, Pretend

electronics, tools, housewares and appliances.

Products Excluded from a Code

Products excluded from a particular code are listed in parentheses immediately following the

code title. These products appear elsewhere in the alphabetic list with their own separate code

numbers.

Example:

Manual cleaning equipment (excl. buckets or pails) ........ 0480

The entry for manual cleaning equipment indicates that there is a separate entry for buckets or

pails. This entry is shown below as it appears in the alphabetical list.

Buckets or Pails ................................................................... 1143

Product Parts

For injuries involving only a particular part or component of a product, code the product as a

whole. If the source product is not stated (e.g., pieces of glass, metal, wood, plastic, etc.), do

not code the product.

Batteries (0884) and battery chargers/adapters (0883) are an exception to this rule, and are

coded separately from the product with which they are being used.

Scenario Product Code

Injured from tripping over a television cord 0572, Televisions

Injured on steps of a slide 1242, Slides or sliding boards (excl.

Swimming pool and water slides)

Injured on piece of broken glass Do not report

Injured on piece of broken glass 1826, Storm windows

Swallowed a button battery from a TV remote 0572, Televisions, and

0884, Batteries

Burned when toy car battery charger caught fire 5021, Toy vehicles, and

0883, Battery chargers/adapters

Toys

A product is considered a toy if it is specifically described as a toy (e.g., play money, toy watch,

toy car, etc.) or if you can clearly assume from the information recorded that the product is a toy.

Scenario Product Code

9YOM lacerated his leg while digging 1403, Other unpowered tools

Sports, Recreational Activities and Games

The phrase "activity, apparel or equipment" accompanying sports and recreational activity

codes means that any apparel or equipment contributing to an injury during a game or sport is

coded as part of the product code for that sport. In addition, please specify the item of apparel

or equipment in the Comments (e.g., football helmet, tennis racquet, ski binding, etc.).

However, if apparel or equipment is not mentioned, but the activity or sport is specified, report

the case, using the product code for the sport. If a patient is performing specific exercises while

practicing for a sport, code the sport (not the exercise). For example, code 1205, Basketball for

a patient injured while doing sprints in basketball practice.

Scenario Product Code

Scalp lacerated by thrown tennis racquet 3284, Tennis (activity, apparel, or

at school equipment)

Sprained ankle playing tennis at the 3284, Tennis (activity, apparel, or

recreation center equipment)

Poisoning or Chemical Burns to Children Less than 5 Years of Age

When coding poisoning and chemical burns for children under 5 years of age, use the

appropriate product code listed in the alphabetic section of the Coding Manual. If the product is

not a consumer product, or if the product is unknown, and you cannot locate an appropriate

product code in the alphabetic listing, report the case using product code 5555.

Please remember, it is always important to report and code any other product(s) associated with

poisonings or chemical burns to children less than 5 years of age (e.g., pill box, other container,

medicine cabinet, counter, bottle).

“New” Product Codes for Consumer Products Not Found in Manual

If you believe a case involves a consumer product, but you cannot determine an appropriate

product code, or you have a coding question about any case and are not able to discuss the

case with your CPSC NEISS Representative, you may use code 9999 temporarily. CPSC

NEISS staff will review these cases and determine whether 1) a current NEISS product code

can be used, or 2) a new product code should be added to the Manual. In either case, your

CPSC NEISS Representative will contact you after reviewing the case.

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

Product Coding for Special Types of Incidents

Listed below are some situations that require special coding treatment.

Product Fires, including Flammable Fabrics

A product fire can be extensive (i.e., with fire/flames) or limited (i.e., with smoldering/smoke).

Code the specific product(s) involved. If a burn or smoke inhalation injury results directly from a

flammable fabric, code:

• The source of the fire (e.g., stove, portable room heater, camping lantern, or other fire-

causing item), and

• The first item to ignite (e.g., blanket, clothing, draperies, slipcover, etc.)

In the field labeled "Fire", enter code 1, 2 or 3 to indicate whether or not the fire department

attended (see the section on Fire Involvement).

House Fires

If there is a house fire, code any consumer product(s) mentioned (e.g., stove, smoke alarm). In

the case of a house fire and/or smoke inhalation where no specific consumer product is

identified, use product code 1866, General home or room involvement in fires. Product code

1866 includes fires in single family homes, townhomes, manufactured (mobile) homes, and the

living areas of apartments and condominiums. Use this code, for example, when the ED record

describes the incident as "house fire" or "smoke filled apartment" and no other information is

available. If known, state the particular room in the Comments (e.g., flames in the basement,

smoke coming from the garage).

In the field labeled “Fire,” enter code 1, 2 or 3 to indicate whether or not the fire department

attended (see the section on Fire Involvement

Hot Water

Report all injuries involving hot water using product code 1934 (Hot water), even if a consumer

product within CPSC jurisdiction is not stated. If the source of the hot water is known, then code

1934 (Hot water) along with the product code for the source (e.g., teakettle, sink, bathtub).

However, do not use 1934 for hot liquid that is part of prepared food or drinks (e.g., hot soup,

hot cocoa).

Scenario Product Code

36YOF burned by hot water 0452-Coffee maker or teapots, not specified

spilled from a teapot 1934-Hot water

0000-No third product

11MOM with scald burns from 1934-Hot water

hot water, no further information 0000-No second product

0000-No third product

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

Carbon Monoxide

Report all injuries involving carbon monoxide that do not involve licensed motor vehicles,

including when the source is unknown. Code the source of the carbon monoxide when known

(e.g., 0310-Gas furnace, 0118-Gas water heater). If the source of the carbon monoxide is

unknown, use product code 1899. A second (or third) product code may be used with 1899 as

long as it is not the source of the carbon monoxide (e.g., carbon monoxide detector).

Do not assume the source of the carbon monoxide was a licensed motor vehicle based on

location (e.g., garage) unless there is other evidence to support this assumption.

Gas Fumes or Gas Vapors of Unknown Origin

Report all injuries involving gas fumes or vapors that do not involve licensed motor vehicles,

regardless of the source. Code the source of the gas fumes or gas vapors when known (e.g.,

0981-Gasoline cans). If the source of the gas fumes or vapors is unknown, use product code

1898. A second (or third) product code may be used as long as it is not the source of the gas

fumes or vapors.

Alcohol?

(1 character)

If the ED record indicates that the patient consumed alcohol prior to or during the incident,

select 1-Yes, and include the patient’s blood alcohol level/concentration (BAL or BAC) or breath

alcohol results in the Comment. If there is no BAL/BAC or breath test available, this should be

stated in the Comment. If the ED record indicates that alcohol consumption is suspected, but

there is no lab test available, then select 1-Yes and include this information in the Comment.

If there is no mention in the medical record of patient alcohol consumption, select 0-No.

Examples:

19YOM drinking beer with friends and then went riding 4-wheeled ATV going 20mph

turned too fast, flipped over hitting head, was not wearing a helmet. BAL 192. DX:

Concussion, 8cm Laceration head

Alcohol: 1-yes

Drugs/Medication?

(1 character)

If the ED record indicates the patient used, or is regularly using, a drug(s) or medication(s) that

contributed to the incident or the severity of the injury, select 1-Yes and mention the

drugs/medication (by specific or generic name if available) in the Comment.

If there is no mention in the ED record of a drug or medication that contributed to the incident or

the severity of the injury, select 0-No.

Example:

59 YOM had been using heroin, states mattress caught fire, tried to put out, EMS pulled

patient out of smoke filled room. DX: smoke inhalation, opiate intoxication

Drugs/Medication: 1-Yes

67YOF in bedroom at home, had slip and fall, states hit left index finger on wall during

the fall, unable to stop the bleeding, patient is on warfarin. DX: laceration left index

Drugs/Medication: 0-No

Intent

(1 character)

Injury intent defines whether an injury was caused by an act that was carried out on purpose by

oneself or by another person(s) with the purpose or goal of injuring or killing. Injuries may be

unintentional or intentional. An injury may be inflicted by one person on another, or self-inflicted.

An unintentional injury may be inflicted by oneself or another person(s), but is not inflicted

deliberately with the aim of injuring or killing. An intentional injury is one that is inflicted (by

oneself or another person) with the aim of injuring or killing.

The intent codes are shown in the following table. Each code is further defined below the table.

Injury Intent

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System January 2021

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

Unintentional or Unknown/Not Stated Intent

An unintentional injury is an injury not inflicted deliberately with the aim of injuring or

killing. Sometimes these injuries are referred to as "accidental." Unintentional injuries may be

self-inflicted or inflicted by another person. NEISS coders should consider injuries unintentional

when no indication of intent to harm was documented in the ED record or when the intent

was unknown.

Includes:

• child unintentionally shot self with handgun

• patient painting his house when fell off ladder and fractured foot

• child under age 5 ate unknown pills found on a countertop

Intentional or Assault Intent

Intentional or Assault injuries are injuries intentionally or purposefully inflicted by one

person on another person with the aim of injuring or killing. Intentional/assault injuries

include cases that involve intended and unintended victims of violent acts, civil disorders, and

other conflict situations (e.g., riots, drive by shootings, strikes, terrorist activities, law

enforcement officer injured while suspect is resisting arrest). Intentional/assault injuries are only

reportable when (1) the victim and the perpetrator are age 12 or younger and the incident

involves a consumer product within CPSC jurisdiction OR (2) a firearm is involved.

Includes:

• child stabbed with knife while fighting with classmate

• innocent bystander shot in drive-by incident

• victim pepper sprayed in eyes while fighting with friend

• victim shot by spouse during domestic dispute

Self-Inflicted or Suicide - Intentional injuries

Self-inflicted or suicide-related injuries include confirmed or suspected injuries intentionally or

purposefully inflicted on oneself where the medical record indicates that the patient was

trying to take his own life or harm himself (e.g., suicide, suicide attempt, self-mutilation, self-

harm). Self-inflicted or suicide-related injuries are only reportable when (1) the patient is 12

years old or younger and the incident includes a consumer product within CPSC jurisdiction,

OR (2) a firearm is involved.

Includes:

• 24YOM with self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, left a suicide note

• 12YOF slashing her wrists with knife in suspected suicide attempt

Legal Intervention

Injuries related to legal intervention are injuries caused by police or other legal authorities (e.g.,

security guards, bouncers) during law enforcement activities. Injuries caused by police or

legal authorities while off duty are not considered legal intervention. Injuries that occur as a

result of legal intervention are only reportable when a firearm or personal protective device is

involved, regardless of the age of the injured person.

Includes:

• patient shot, tear gassed, or pepper sprayed by police

• patient exposed to tear gas by police during demonstration

• patient pepper sprayed to eye by police

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov

Work-Related (Only if Firearm Involved)

(1 character)

Use this variable to indicate that the injury is associated with a work activity, exposure, or

environment. Only firearm-related cases are reportable as work-related (codes 1 & 3).

Work-Related

Code

Not recorded

Work-related; occurred on the job (excluding active military duty)

Not work-related; did not occur on the job

Work-related; active military duty

An incident is reportable as work-related if it

• involves a firearm

AND

• occurred "at work," "on-the-job," was "occupational," or the ED record implies the

incident was work-related (e.g., "hit on head with gun while attempting to apprehend a

suspect," or "shot in hand while delivering a pizza"); or

• occurred during volunteer work for an organized group, such as a volunteer fire fighter,

volunteer in a hospital, or volunteer for a charity group (e.g., candy striper, volunteer

cook at a homeless shelter); or

• occurred during farm or other family-business related duties, even when the patient is

not working for pay (e.g., child performing farm chores or assisting at family restaurant);

• is covered under workman's compensation.

Assume the injury is not work-related when the patient is age 12 and under and there is no

other information about the incident.

Victim Identification

For some incidents, CPSC staff conducts follow-up investigations with a victim or a victim’s

family member through telephone, internet, or on-site interviews. Follow-up investigations are

conducted on less than one percent of NEISS cases. Investigation reports provide important

details about the likely causes of the incident, including the interaction among person, product

and environment. Follow-up investigations are an opportunity for CPSC staff to collect details

about brand names of products and product samples for testing in a laboratory. CPSC staff use

this information to classify incidents by hazard pattern, determine actions needed to reduce or

eliminate product hazards, identify defective or harmful products, and evaluate the effectiveness

of product safety standards.

For the cases selected, CPSC will request a patient's name, address, and telephone number

through a Victim identification (ID) screen in PC-NEISS. Never send Victim ID information to

CPSC by email.

CPSC protects patient confidentiality at all times. CPSC destroys all Victim ID information once

the follow-up investigation is completed.
