Introduction
The primary mission of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is to reduce injuries
and fatalities associated with consumer products. For more than 40 years, the National
Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS; pronounced “nice”) has been an essential tool in
identifying the number and severity of consumer product-related injuries to persons treated in
hospital emergency departments (EDs) in the United States. This system has also served as a
model for systems in other countries that track injuries.
Your hospital was statistically selected to participate in the NEISS to represent many similar
hospitals in the United States. Practically speaking, that means that every injury you report will
be important not only for itself, but because it will be multiplied by a weight to account for similar
injuries treated at the other hospitals you are representing. Your reports lay the cornerstone in
the effort to reduce injuries and deaths from consumer products. It is essential that each report
be as complete and accurate as possible. Please follow these instructions carefully.
General Instructions
The success of the NEISS depends upon accurate and timely data. Care must be taken to
identify, correctly code and successfully enter into the computer, all appropriate cases. Most
important is information about the patient, the incident, the injury and the product(s) associated
with the injury.
You will have to work closely with all persons who put such information on ED records. It is only
with their help that you will be able to get accurate and complete data and eliminate guesswork
or inadequate product identification.
Reviewing Hospital Records and Selecting Cases to Report
Each day, review the records for all emergency cases seen in your hospital since the last time
you reported to determine whether an in-scope injury or illness is mentioned. Make sure that all
cases that are part of the hospital’s emergency system are reviewed for every treatment date.
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 the adult and pediatric ED, the
trauma center, the burn center, and occupational clinics. Report all fatalities for which an ED
record was completed. Also report all ED cases where the patient was later admitted for
hospitalization in the same facility or transferred to a different facility.
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission 1 www.cpsc.gov

General NEISS Reporting Rule
Do Report
Do report all consumer product-related emergency visits to your hospital, including ED cases,
hospital admissions, trauma center and burn center cases, and cases transferred to other
hospitals. It is not necessary to determine that a product was at fault to report an
associated incident. If in doubt, report it. Do not hesitate to call your CPSC NEISS
Representative for guidance (1-800-638-8095).
If a patient visits the ED multiple times for a particular incident, only report the first visit.
However, if the patient returns to the ED (even on the same day) with an injury or illness
unrelated to the first incident, code each of the visits separately.
Definitions
A consumer product is any article, or part thereof, produced or distributed for use by a
consumer in or around a home, school, or recreational area.
Product-related is defined to include:

• all poisonings and chemical burns to children under 5 years of age, and
• all injuries where a consumer product, sport, or recreational activity is associated with
the reason for the visit or related to a condition treated.
• illnesses only if a consumer product, sport, or recreational activity is associated with the
onset of the illness.
Reportable consumer products, sports, and recreational activities are listed in the Coding
Manual and the Coding Committee Index. If a product cannot be found in the Coding Manual
and you believe it is reportable, it can be reported with temporary product code 9999, pending
assignment of an appropriate product code. However, use product code 5555 instead of 9999
for poisonings and chemical burns to children under 5 years of age.
Some specific examples of scenarios which qualify for NEISS and should be reported are
listed below:
• Poisonings (ingestions) and chemical burns to children under age 5 associated with
drugs, medications or any other substances.
• Injuries that occur during sports or recreational activities.
• 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.
• Injuries associated with house fires, even if no products are identified.
• Injuries associated with hot water from an unknown source.
• Injuries associated with carbon monoxide from an unknown source.
• Injuries associated with gas fumes or vapors from an unknown source.

• Injuries involving non-consumer products that qualify for special studies. For example,
injuries involving firearms qualify for a special study by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. See instructions for special studies.
Do Not Report
Do not report emergency visits where the patient was previously treated for the same incident in
this or any other hospital within the United States and its territories.
Do not report emergency visits associated with products listed as “Do not report” in the
alphabetic listing of the NEISS Coding Manual. Some examples of scenarios which do not
qualify for NEISS and should not be reported are listed below:
• Injuries associated with products not covered by CPSC and not included in a special
study. This includes:
o automobiles and motorcycles
o trains, boats, and planes
o food
o illegal drugs
o medical devices
• Injuries associated only with drugs, medicines, cosmetics, or pesticides
o EXCEPT do report poisonings or chemical burns to children under age 5.
• Assaults and suicide attempts
o EXCEPT do report cases that qualify for the firearms special study, or where the
victim and perpetrator are both age 12 and under.
• Occupational injuries
o EXCEPT do report cases that qualify for the firearms special study.
• Incidents where no consumer product is involved (e.g., fell to ground, fell on curb, hit
by rock).
• Injuries or illnesses from plants, unless the onset is associated with a consumer product,
sport, or recreational activity (e.g., hiking, running).
• Injuries from local government equipment or fixtures. This includes fire hydrants,
telephone poles, traffic signs, commercial mailboxes, sidewalks, streets, etc.
• Injuries from parts of products where the product is unknown (e.g., pieces of broken
glass, pieces of metal).

Specific Coding Instructions

Review and code the ED records by the date of treatment, unless otherwise directed by your
CPSC NEISS Representative. Please read the following section very carefully. However
thorough we try to be, we cannot foresee all possible problems in reporting cases for NEISS. If
you have any questions, your CPSC NEISS Representative will be very glad to help you. The
CPSC toll-free telephone number is: 1-800-638-8095.
There is a section for each of the variables to be reported:
• Treatment Date
• Case Number
• Comment
• Date of Birth
• Age
• Sex
• Hispanic
• Race
• Diagnosis 1 and 2
• Body Part 1 and 2
• Disposition
• Products Involved
• Alcohol
• Drugs/Medication
• Whether Intentionally Inflicted
• Locale
• Fire Involvement
• Work-Related
Treatment Date
(8 spaces)
Code the date on which the patient was seen for treatment. Use two digits each for the month
and day and four digits for the year, in that order. Whenever the month or day is 1 digit (1-9),
add a zero in front of the number (e.g., 1 becomes 01, 2 becomes 02, etc.).
Examples:
Date of Treatment Code
July 23, 2001 07/23/2001
March 14, 2015 03/14/2015
November 8, 2013 11/08/2013
March 17, 2004 03/17/2004

Case Number
(8 spaces)
Each case treated on a specific date must have a unique record number for NEISS
You can use up to eight digits for your ED record or case numbers.
Example: ED Case Number Code

12345678 12345678
If your hospital uses more than eight digits for its case numbers, code only the LAST eight
digits.

956781234 56781234
Do not code any letters of the alphabet, which may appear in your hospital's case number.
Substitute zeroes for any letters.

EA123456 00123456
Comments/Narrative
(up to 400 characters)
Every case must include a descriptive comment. Start each comment with the patient’s age
and sex, and include details about the product(s) and sequence of events, as well as the
associated diagnoses, affected body part(s), and alcohol/drug involvement. If the patient
used alcohol, also include the blood alcohol/level/concentration. Quote verbatim the words
actually used on the ED record.
Abbreviations
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.
Examples:
30 year old male 30YOM
19 month old female 19MOF
Avoid uncommon or ambiguous abbreviations, and be careful not to reword diagnoses.

For example, humerus fracture can be abbreviated as “humerus FX”, but do not reword it as
“arm FX”. Commonly used and widely recognized abbreviations may be used (e.g., DX for
diagnosis, TBI for traumatic brain injury). However, please keep in mind that a wide variety of
the public uses the NEISS--including many without medical backgrounds.

Incident Sequence
The Comments 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 locale. Refer to the ED
notes of the attending physician, nurse, and clerk for other 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 sounded”). If the incident is intentional (e.g., assault,
suicide attempt, legal intervention), include this information in the Comments.
Never include personally identifiable information such as names in the Comments. If another
person is 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 being coded, be sure to indicate “Twin A” or “Twin B” in the Comments.
Examples:
• 31YOF tripped on small toy truck in her son’s bedroom last night and now has swollen
toe. DX: toe sprain
• 23YOM hit in mouth by basketball while playing pickup game at the city rec center. DX:
Lip laceration
• 3YOM twin A got into grandma’s heart pills with sibling. DX: Poisoning
• 3YOM twin B got into grandma’s heart pills with sibling. DX: Poisoning
Product Description and Brand Names

Please include the brand name or manufacturer of the product associated with an injury
whenever such information is available. Product identification can never be too specific! If
you are uncertain whether a given product code requires elaboration, add further detail to the
Comments. Remarks like "doll made in Taiwan" or "English bicycle" are helpful in the absence
of any other product identification.
All products involved in the incident must be mentioned in the Comment/Narrative field.
Whenever you code a product using an "Other" or “Not elsewhere classified” product code (e.g.,
1549 Other baby carriers; 4013 Other Furniture; 1381 Toys not elsewhere classified), describe
the specific product in the Comments.
Scenario Product Code

Patient was hit in the eye by a dart 5001, Other toy weapons (projectile)
fired from a toy cannon
In Comments: Dart fired from a toy cannon
Patient cut himself with a steak knife 0464, Knives, not elsewhere classified
In Comments: Cut himself with steak knife
Similarly, for general product codes such as 0474 Tableware and accessories or 0480 Manual
Cleaning Equipment, specify the particular item in the Comments (e.g., sugar bowl, broom).
Product codes for sports or recreational activities require identification of the activity involved as
well as any equipment or apparel associated with the injury. Whenever the product code is
1866 (General home or room involvement in fires), the Comments should include the room
involved (such as bedroom or kitchen), if known.

Date of Birth
(8 spaces)
Whenever available, enter the date of birth for the patient. This will automatically calculate and
insert the age of patient based on the treatment date. Use two digits each for the month and day
and four digits for the year, in that order. Whenever the month or day is 1 digit (1-9), add a zero
in front of the number (e.g., 1 becomes 01, 2 becomes 02).
Age
(3 spaces)
When the date of birth is not available, enter the age of the patient based on the treatment date.
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”).
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 age in years.
Examples: Age Code

Two years 2
Eight years 8
Forty-five years 45
One hundred years 100
One hundred two years 102
Not recorded 0
If the patient is older than 115 years old, code the age as 115 and indicate the actual age in the
Comments. If the ED 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.

Sex
(1 space)
Report the patient’s sex as it is recorded in the ED record. If a patient is transgender or intersex,
code the patient’s sex based on how it is entered in the ED record.
Sex Code
Male 1
Female 2
Not recorded 0
Hispanic
(1 space)
Report whether or not the patient is Hispanic, Latino/Latina, or of Spanish origin, as it is

recorded in the ED record. Select 1-Yes when the ED record indicates the patient is Hispanic or
Latino/Latina. This includes when the patient is of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or
Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin. Note that patients can be Hispanic,
Latino/Latina, or of Spanish origin, regardless of race.
Hispanic? Code
Yes: The ED record indicates the patient is a person of 1
Hispanic, Latino/Latina or Spanish origin.
No: The ED record indicates the patient is not a person of 2
Hispanic, Latino/Latina or Spanish origin.
Unknown: The ED record does not indicate whether or 0
not the patient is of Hispanic, Latino/Latina, or Spanish
origin.

Race
(1 space)
Report the patient’s race as it is recorded in the ED record. Use the codes below to classify the
patient's race based on information in the ED record. When the race is stated in the ED record,
and you cannot identify which of the race codes to use, refer to Appendix G for additional
information. If Appendix G does not include the suggested race code, then select code 3-Other
and enter the race information in the Other Race text field (up to 15 spaces).
Race Code
White: A person having origins in any of the original 1
peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.
Black/African American: A person having origins in any 2
of the black racial groups of Africa.
Asian: A person having origins in any of the original 4
peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian
subcontinent.
American Indian/Alaska Native: A person having origins 5
in any of the original peoples of North and South America
(including Central America), and who maintains tribal
affiliation or community attachment.
Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander: A person having 6
origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam,
Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.
Other: Use this code when: (1) the ED record indicates 3
more than one race, or (2) the race is stated in the ED
record and none of the above applies. Enter the specific
race(s) in the "Race Other" text field.
Not Stated in ED record: Use this code when there is no 0
information on the patient's race in the ED record.
Examples of coding the Hispanic and Race Variables
Race/Ethnicity in the ED Record Hispanic Race Race Other

White Hispanic 1 1
Black Hispanic 1 2
Cambodian 0 4
Alaskan Indian 0 5
Samoan, Not Hispanic 2 6
White/Black 0 3 White/Black
Puerto Rican 1 0

Diagnosis 1 and 2
(2 spaces each)
The attending physician’s diagnoses should be used as the basis for selecting the
appropriate diagnosis code(s) for NEISS. However, do not assume that the diagnostic
words used at your hospital will always correspond to the same NEISS diagnosis codes.
Carefully review the Discussion of Selected Diagnoses section to learn how to interpret and
report selected incidents. Use all appropriate medical information available together with your
understanding of the NEISS diagnosis coding rules to choose the diagnosis code for NEISS.
Examples Attending physician’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 will usually be provided in the attending physician’s notes, but may be
found in other areas of the ED record (e.g., discharge summary) and may be referred to by
other names (e.g., clinical impressions, final diagnosis). If the attending physician’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 logical
diagnoses.
Diagnosis Coding Priority

Diagnosis 1 should always reflect the most severe diagnosis associated with the consumer
products/activities. If there are multiple diagnoses associated with the consumer
products/activities, 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
the consumer products/activities, 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
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

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
19YOM was high on PCP and punched through a window. DX: Substance abuse,
Fracture 5th metacarpal, Multiple lacerations left hand
Diagnosis 1: 57-Fracture Body Part 1: 82-Hand
Diagnosis 2: 59-Laceration Body Part 2: 82-Hand
When multiple diagnoses are represented by the same Diagnosis code and Body Part code
combination, the Diagnosis code and Body Part code combination should only be entered once.
However, be sure to mention all of the diagnoses in the Comment. For example, when the ED
record indicates forearm fractures to the radius and ulna, the Diagnosis code 57-Fracture and
Body Part code 33-Lower Arm should only be entered once.
11YOM was playing volleyball yesterday & fell onto outstretched arms, pain & swelling to
both wrists. DX: fractures of bilateral wrists
Diagnosis 1: 57-Fracture Body Part 1: 34-Wrist
The diagnosis codes are listed in the table below. Appendix B contains additional diagnosis
cross references. If diagnosis code 71 (Other/Not Stated) is entered, the cursor will tab to a
“Diagnosis Other” field (50 characters). You will be required to enter a text string into this field
that describes the diagnosis.

Discussion of Selected Diagnoses

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 was 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 or is caught in the respiratory
tract (e.g., nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, lungs). The object should generally be one that does
not lead to poisoning. Examples of such objects are thumbtacks, beads, miniature light bulbs,
and even pills. If the patient chokes while being fed liquids and the ED record describes the
event as aspiration, then the aspiration code may be used.
Burn Injuries
Try to get information about the kind of burn (chemical, electrical, scald, thermal, radiation). If
the attending physician’s diagnosis is inadequate, one can sometimes deduce the type of burn
from the kind of incident and product(s) involved. NOTE: For thermal burns, indicate in the
Comment if the burn came from flames or a hot surface.
Scenario Code
Burns from hot water, hot liquid, or steam
(excluding injuries from cold liquids). 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 which ignited
(e.g., gasoline, kerosene or lighter fluid). 51, Thermal burn
Burns from arcing, electrical products. 46, Electric burn
Burn caused by exposure to sun lamp 73, Radiation burn
Burn caused by touching the hot surface of lamp 51, Thermal burn
Pulmonary burns 62, Internal organ injury
Choking
If the ONLY diagnosis is "choking" and there is no other information in the ED record, and the
object that caused it is insoluble (e.g., a toy) or semi-soluble (e.g., putty), code 42, Aspirated
foreign object.
Dermatitis, 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.

Head Injuries
Code the most severe and specific diagnosis given. Internal head injuries, such as subdural
hematomas or cerebral contusions, should be coded as 62, Internal organ injury. Concussions
should be coded as 52, Concussions. External head injuries, such as scalp lacerations, should
be coded accordingly. Please note that ‘hematoma to the head’ typically refers to an external
head injury and should be coded 58, Hematoma.
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.
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.
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: “Acute kidney injury” refers to damage to the kidneys as a result of
injury, poisoning, or illness. If the diagnosis is “acute kidney injury”, choose the diagnosis code
based on the nature of the injury (e.g., crushing, heatstroke, poisoning).
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.).
Other/Not Stated
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 field.

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., lake, pool, tub,
bucket).
Body Part 1 and 2

(2 spaces each)
Body Part 1 and Body Part 2 should be selected to match the corresponding Diagnosis 1 and
Diagnosis 2 codes. If more than one body part is associated with a diagnosis, code the body
parts with the most severe injuries and mention all of the affected body parts in the Comments.
Examples
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
The body part codes are listed in the table below, and rules for coding selected body parts are
discussed in the section which follows. Additional body parts and recommended codes are
listed in Appendix C. The body part diagram in Appendix D will help you visualize the
boundaries between the body part codes (e.g., upper vs lower trunk).

Discussion of Body Part Affected for Selected Injuries
Back Injuries
For a diagnosed back injury, if possible 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 more specific 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. If more than two body parts
were injured, code the body parts with the most severe burns. 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:
• 87, Not stated, for burns to less than 25% of the body
• 84, 25-50% of body, for burns to 25‐50% of the body
• 85, All of body, for burns covering more than 50% of the body
Only use 84, 85, and 87 when no specific body parts are mentioned in the ED record.

Extremity Injuries
For a diagnosed arm or leg injury, if possible determine whether the upper arm (code 80) or
lower arm (code 33), or upper leg (code 81) or lower leg (code 36), was involved and code
accordingly. If the diagnosis is simply "Arm injury" or “Leg injury” and there is no more specific
information in the ED record, use code 33, lower arm, or code 36, lower 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.
Injury Diagnoses Affecting the Entire Body

As shown below, four diagnoses must ALWAYS be accompanied by body part code 85, All
parts of body, in the body part spaces. In addition, two other diagnoses MUST be accompanied
by body part code 0, Internal.
Diagnosis Body Part

Diagnosis
Code Code
Anoxia 65 85
Electric shock 67 85
Poisoning 68 85
Submersion (incl. drowning) 69 85
Aspirated foreign object 42 0
Ingested foreign object 41 0
Disposition
(1 space)
Use the codes given below to indicate the final disposition of the patient from the ED.
Disposition Code
Treated and released, or examined and 1
released without treatment*
Treated and transferred to another hospital 2
Treated and admitted for hospitalization (within 4
same facility)

Not recorded 9
*Also use code 1 when the patient is not admitted, but transferred for
treatment to another department of the same facility.

Products Involved (Product 1, Product, Product 3)

(4 spaces for each)
Up to three associated product codes may be entered for each NEISS case. If more than three
products are involved, be sure to mention all of the products in the comment. Consult the
alphabetic product listing at the end of the Coding Manual to select the most appropriate
product code(s). The majority of consumer products can be classified using the codes in the
alphabetical index. However, if you need assistance in deciding on the correct coding of a case,
use product code 9999 or call your CPSC NEISS Representative for assistance. Your CPSC
NEISS Representative will respond to you providing guidance on how to code the case.
When only one product is involved, enter it as Product Code 1 and use zeroes for Product
Codes 2 and 3.
Example: 86YOF slipped and hit her head on wet tile floor in her kitchen.
Product 1 = 1807 (floor)
Product 2 = 0000
Product 3 = 0000
When only two products are involved, enter them as Product Code 1 and 2, and use zeroes for
Product Code 3. It does not matter which code is entered as Product 1 or Product 2.
Example: 11YOM riding a bicycle ran into a park bench.

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.

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.
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-
-or-

Product Information Needed

Whenever possible, report specific products rather than general types of products, and include
any details 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
admissions clerks, 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 (gas, electric) or unpowered or
manual (e.g., power saw vs. hand saw).
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 code numbers. 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
In addition, the alphabetic list also includes products that are similar to the coded products but
whose names are not part of the 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, you are directed to choose
among the various eligible codes.

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
Use: Baby mattresses or pads (excl.
mattress covers or mattress pads) .................................. 1542
Paintbrushes or rollers
Choose among:
Manual paintbrushes or rollers ........................................... 0925
Powered painting equipment
(incl. sprayers, rollers or brushes ....................................... 0887
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
Sanders
Choose among:
Manual filing or sanding tools ............................................ 0862
Power sanders .................................................................. 0803
If sander is not specifically identified as electric,
Use: Manual filing or sanding tools ................................. 0862
Carving knives
Choose among:
Electric or battery-powered knives .................................... 0218
Knives, not elsewhere classified ........................................ 0464
Product Categories Listed as “Also consider”

"Also consider," a direction that accompanies many codes, suggests other products or groups of
products that are related to the one already under consideration. Consider which most
appropriately describes the product.
Examples:
Bottle Openers ..................................................................... 0422

Also consider:
Can Openers
Adult Games
Choose among:
Video or electronic games
Use: Computers (equipment and electronic games) ....... 0557
Games or game parts (excl. marbles
and computer games) ...................................................... 5019
Also consider:
Sports

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
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.
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.

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

from a storm window
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.

Child lacerated his leg while digging 1403, Other unpowered tools
in the yard at home with a shovel
Child fell and cut lip while playing in the yard 5020, Pretend electronics, tools,
at nursery school with a toy shovel housewares, and appliances
(record explicitly states “toy”)
2-year old child lacerated hand on miniature 5020, Pretend electronics, tools,
plastic shovel obtained in cereal box; occurred housewares, and appliance
in sandbox at neighbor’s home
(assume toy shovel from information in ED record)
Sports and Games

The phrase "activity, apparel or equipment" accompanying sports 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.

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.
“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.

Product Coding for Special Types of Incidents

Listed below are some situations which require special coding treatment.
Product Fires, including Flammable Fabrics

A product fire can be extensive (with fire/flames) or limited (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 specific
consumer product 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).

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

Carbon Monoxide
Report all injuries involving carbon monoxide that do not involve licensed motor vehicles,
whether or not the source is known. 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 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,
whether or not the source is known. 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 space)
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) in the
Comment. If there is no BAL/BAC available, this should be stated in the Comment. If the ED
record indicates that alcohol consumption is suspected, but there is no BAL/BAC 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. This
includes if there is no information on alcohol consumption.
Example:
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
33YOF with buttock bruising after she fell down her basement stairs while intoxicated,
BAC 0.20. DX: fall, ecchymosis of buttock, alcohol intoxication
Alcohol: 1-Yes
51YOF running in a marathon and was struck by a car that crossed the barriers. Driver
was arrested for driving while intoxicated. DX: Fractured pelvis, pulmonary emboli.
Alcohol: 0-No

Drugs/Medication
(1 space)
If the ED record indicates the patient used, or is regularly using, drugs or medication that
contributed to the incident or the severity of the injury, select 1-Yes and mention the
drugs/medication in the Comment.
If there is no mention in the ED record of drugs/medications that contributed to the incident or

the severity of the injury, select 0-No. This includes if there is no information on drug/medication
use.
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
finger, warfarin-induced coagulopathy
Drugs/Medication: 1-Yes
45YOM was riding a dirt bike in a parking lot and fell off, complains of left shoulder pain.
Denies drugs & alcohol, DX: left scapula fracture.
Drugs/Medication: 0-No
Whether Injury was Intentionally Inflicted

(1 space)
An intentional injury or poisoning is one that is inflicted with the aim of injuring or killing. The
injury may be either one that was inflicted by one person on another, or one that was self-
inflicted. Intentional injuries are only reportable when (1) a firearm is involved, or (2) the victim
and the perpetrator are both age 12 and under. An unintentional (“accidental”) injury or
poisoning is one that is not inflicted with the aim of injuring or killing, and includes unknown or
undetermined intent. Self-inflicted injuries can be either intentional or unintentional.
Injury Intent Code
Assault / intentional injury (confirmed or suspected) 1

Intentionally self-inflicted injury involving suicide, suicide
attempt, or self-mutilation/self-harm (confirmed or suspected) 2

An incident is work-related if:
• it involves a firearm
AND
• it 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
• it happened 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
• it occurred during farm or other family-business related work duties, even when the
patient is a child (e.g., "finger stuck in barrel of BB gun while trying to scare owls from
the barn," "shot by unknown assailant while clearing tables at parent's restaurant"), or
• it 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.
