The LOT number is placed on the packaging and has to be included in any return, claim or incident/accident, where the product is likely to have failed. It is required that our distributors have an integrated functional system to trace our products to the purchaser/end-user/patient, whoever is the next in the distribution chain. We also require that our distributors make this requirement to their distributors (if relevant).
