Hi all,

Just to check with you....

Is there any label or symbol for devices used for demo purposes?
If we want to ship to other countries (say, EU or US) for demo purposes, then what label will be appropriate to use?

Any advice?

Thanks,
Sreenu

I don´t know of any symbols especially designed for device which are for demo purposes.

When you say "demo", i think there´s to distictions which have to be made: one is ma device device which is not to be sold, just showed for clients, but which has other units sold in the country - they have to comply to the same regulations of devices which are being sold.

The other possible type is devices which are show, for example, on events to discover market acceptability before registration. These generally do not have to comly with the full regulations, but you generally need to have some kind of authorization.

Hi mmantunes,

Thank you for the response.

We would like to have a soft launch of our product before the registration or approval. So what do you suggest to label the instruments with?

Just, "NOT FOR SALE", works or any other label to be placed on it??

Thanks for your advice.

Cheers
Sreenu

Hi Sreenu,

I just can give my experience on this situation.
For instruments which will be shown before registration in a demo purpose, we generally put a simple label on which it's written : "Demo instrument, Not for sale" or " Demo instrument, do not use in a medical context".

For demo implants , we grave with laser on them the following sentence "Do not implant".

However, for demo instruments and implants, we generally have to declare them at the Customs office.

hope my little experince will help you

regards

Hi hellspawny,

Thanks for sharing your experience.
I suggested our team the same thing, so we are using the label as:
"demonstration unit-this may not be marketed or put into service"
Thanks,
Sreenu
