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 NEISSAll 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.

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 PCNEISS 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 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.

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;
• 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).
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

www.cpsc.gov
NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System
January 2020
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.

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
July 23, 2019
January 1, 2020
Code
07/23/2019
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
12345678
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
Code
12345678
6
www.cpsc.gov
NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System
January 2020
When a NEISS hospital uses more than eight digits for its case numbers, code only the LAST
eight digits.
Example:
ED Case Number
956781234
Code
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
EA123456
Code
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:”. It is very important to include the
abbreviation “DX:” to help distinguish the clinician’s diagnoses from other details about
symptoms and complaints.
• Quote verbatim the words actually used within the ED record.
For example:
• 60YOF was sleeping and woke up on floor, unsure if fell from bed or if woke up and fell,
heavy ETOH 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 her foot
got caught on an extension cord, causing fall to face, hit head on wall and kitchen floor.
+11 cm lac to frontal scalp. DX: fall; scalp laceration.
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

www.cpsc.gov
NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System
January 2020
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. 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:
30 year old male
19 month old female
30YOM
19MOF
Use of Abbreviations
Abbreviations other than those described above (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.
Uncommon or ambiguous abbreviations are not acceptable and cases with these
abbreviations will be returned to the coder for correction. Use of abbreviations in the
comment must be avoided whenever possible.
Quote Information Verbatim from the Medical Record
Product names and clinical diagnoses must not be reworded. Quote verbatim the words actually
used on the ED record. Make sure the spelling of the product is accurate. For example,
humerus fracture must not be reworded 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
sounded”). If the incident is intentional (e.g., assault, suicide attempt, legal intervention), include
this information in the Comment.
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.,
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

www.cpsc.gov
NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System
January 2020
“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.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
Do not include PII such as names, addresses (e.g., street, city), or birthdates in the Comment.
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 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
Product Description and Brand Names
All products involved in the incident must be mentioned in the Comment field. Please
include the brand name or manufacturer 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.
Date of Birth
(8 characters-numbers only)
Whenever available, enter the date of birth for the patient. The PC-NEISS software will then
automatically calculate and insert the correct age of the patient based upon the treatment date.
The format for the date of birth is MM/DD/YYYY.
Age
(up to 3 characters)
When the date of birth is not available, enter the correct age of the patient on the date of
treatment. 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
Three weeks
Four weeks (one month)
Seven weeks
Ten weeks
Nine months

If the patient is older than 115 years old, code the age as 115 and indicate the actual age in the
Comment. 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.
Please note: CPSC prefers that coders use the Date of Birth variable in lieu of the age variable.
Mistakes in coded ages are common when patients have birthdays after the date of treatment
and before the NEISS coder codes the case. Hospital medical record systems automatically
update the age of the patient daily.
Always ensure that the age coded in the variable and the age in the comment agree
before submitting data to CPSC!

Finding the Diagnosis in the ED Record
The attending physician’s or other clinical provider’s (e.g., nurse practioner, 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
carbon monoxide poisoning
Inhalation injury from bleach fumes
foreign body trachea
anoxic brain injury due to near drowning
NEISS diagnosis code
65 Anoxia
68 Poisoning
42 Aspiration
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”), 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). 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.
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”

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

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 pain to arm 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 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, 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.
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,
51, Thermal burn*
kerosene, or lighter fluid)
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 xray indicates the object is in the esophagus, use 41, Ingestion.
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. 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(es). A summary of diagnosis codes for common
head injuries follows:
Scenario
Cerebral contusion
Concussion
Hematoma to head
Scalp laceration
Subdural hematoma
Then Code:
62, Internal Organ Injury
52, Concussion
58, Hematoma
59, Laceration
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.
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.
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
17
www.cpsc.gov
NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System
January 2020
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).
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(es) 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 was struck by a car +loc. DX: possible mild TBI.
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

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:

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. 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, 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.
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
21
www.cpsc.gov
NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System
January 2020
‘Upper extremity’ is a general term that may refer to the upper arm, elbow, lower arm, wrist, and,
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 upper leg, knee, lower leg, 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, 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.

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.
Product 1 = 1807 (floor)
Product 2 = 0000
Product 3 = 0000

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System

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.
Product 1 = 5040-Bicycles
-orProduct 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.
Exception: when more than 3 products are involved, product codes that trigger special
studies must be entered as one of the 3 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
-orProduct 1 = 1807-Floors or flooring materials
Product 2 = 4057-Tables
Product 3 = 1556-Attachable high chairs
-orProduct 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 names) 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).

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
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

“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

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.

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

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.

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 firecausing 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).
Scenario

Carbon Monoxide
Report all injuries involving carbon monoxide that do not involve licensed motor vehicles,
regardless of the source (or if 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
33YOF with buttock bruising after she fell down her basement stairs while intoxicated,
BAC/BAL not available. DX: fall, ecchymosis of buttock, alcohol intoxication
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

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

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

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

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);
or
• 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.
