Why supplier reliability affects compliance

Regulatory compliance depends on more than procedures — it requires consistent, verified supplies. Counterfeit or substandard products can create regulatory risk and jeopardize patient safety. Reliable suppliers provide documentation, lot traceability, and certifications needed for audits.

What to request from suppliers

• Certificates of analysis and material safety documentation.
• Batch/lot traceability for medical devices and disposables.
• Clear labeling and shelf-life information.
