Product Damage Inspection Guidelines

This document provides guidance for addressing various issues that may arise with medical supply packaging and products: 1. Damaged packaging or products should be discarded and the remainder distributed normally. 2. If information on packaging is illegible, check inner contents and write information on the box before distributing or quarantining if unsure if damage occurred. 3. Missing products or empty boxes may indicate theft and should be reported, while ensuring expiration dates are labeled on unlabeled packaging before distribution.
