Questions about sourcing & supply

What documents should a new supplier provide?
Authorisation to supply, traceability for the parts, an inspection method, warranty terms and a named technical contact.
How do I avoid counterfeit consumables?
Verify part numbers with the manufacturer, inspect packaging and seals, and buy only where the stock origin can be stated in writing.
Should a clinic hold large consumable stock?
No. Hold the items that stop treatments, at a level set by their lead time, and keep the rest flowing.
What should a wholesale agreement cover?
Volume, price protection on held stock, lead times and what happens if supply is interrupted.
Can I switch consumable suppliers mid-year?
Only after confirming compatibility and authenticity for the specific device. An unverified substitute puts the treatment at risk.
