Procurement Clarity
Frequently Asked Questions for Regional OEM Buyers
Critical answers addressing regulatory documentation, private labeling, material certifications, and shipping procedures.
What regulatory compliance files accompany custom bone screw shipments?
Every export consignment is supplied with an exhaustive Technical Dossier packet. This contains our valid ISO 13485:2016 quality management certificate, CE declarations of conformity (under EU MDR 2017/745 and 93/42/EEC), batch-specific raw material test certificates (MTRs detailing chemical composition and mechanical tensile properties), passivated surface biocompatibility test summaries, and SGS factory assessment audit reports. These documents provide the requisite trail required by regional health ministries and import authorities.
What are the minimum order quantities (MOQ) and production lead times for custom OEM screw geometries?
For standard catalog designs (including 2.4mm, 2.7mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, and 6.5mm cancellous and cortical screws), our MOQ is typically 100 units per specification size. For bespoke designs requiring unique thread pitches, modified thread runout, custom cannulation IDs, or specialized drive recesses, preliminary prototyping runs start at 300 to 500 units. Prototyping and tooling setup generally require 15 to 20 working days, with mass production runs completing in 30 to 45 days.
How does INAR Medical ensure implant durability and prevent screw head stripping during insertion?
Screw head stripping is prevented through strict mechanical engineering controls. We utilize precision cold heading and high-speed CNC broaching to form uniform Stardrive/Torx and hexagonal pockets with exact tolerances conforming to ASTM F543 standards. We also calibrate each batch with torsional break-angle and insertion-torque tests, guaranteeing that the ultimate torsional failure limit exceeds clinical insertion resistance in dense cortical bone by over 40%.
Can implants be supplied in customized kits with localized language labeling and OEM branding?
Yes. We offer turnkey OEM/ODM branding services. We perform on-site fiber laser marking of part numbers, lot codes, diameters, lengths, and custom distributor logos directly onto screws and plates. For packaging, we print high-resolution carton sleeves, sterile blister labels, and surgical technique guides featuring customer-supplied typography, local languages, and tender-mandated barcoding (GS1 DataMatrix compatible).
What logistic arrangements and shipping terms are available for the target market?
INAR provides flexible Incoterms including FOB Ningbo/Shanghai, CIF, and CFR designated regional air and seaport terminals. Consignments are packed in heavy-duty, moisture-sealed export shipping crates with tamper-evident security strapping. Complete consular documentation, commercial invoices, packing lists with net/gross weights, and certificates of origin are provided to expedite border clearance without bureaucratic delays.
