• Know Inventory: Understand inventory, and be aware of all of the different types and brands of products available in your inventory.

  • Identify Prescription Devices: Using available FDA resources, identify prescription medical devices within inventory.

  • Licensed Practitioner Assistance: If distributing prescription medical devices, establish relationships with licensed practitioners and policies and procedures for obtaining appropriate supervision to dispense prescription medical devices.

  • Consider Partnering: Work closely with local vendors – vendors can be a great asset both in identifying prescription medical devices, seeking supervision from licensed practitioners and tracking FDA recalls and reporting medical device incidents.
