Yes, you must include return labels for your products, no matter what the specific item is. This means that your patients or medical B2B and B2C customers can easily return their testing kits for analysis. Alternatively, your customers or patients should be able to return products if necessary.
When you are creating medical devices, kits or other products, your items must have a process. You need to consider how you will manage serial numbers and the process for retrieving data from patients, as well as producers, in the event of issues. We can help you build a custom system, so make sure you have a plan so we can get started promptly.
Yes. As you create health and medical products, every item requires a best-before date to ensure the safety of your customers and patients. This also allows us to rotate your stock efficiently, so you can utilise all your stock and avoid losing unnecessary money on discarded products.
Yes. Like providing best-before dates, batch dates are crucial for tracking items and reviewing stock in the event of any issues, such as a recall. Batch dates maintain transparency between you and your customers, ensuring other processes run smoothly.

Focusing on your customers’ needs will make it easier for them to use your products and encourage them to use your services again in the future.
