Henry Schein service support is organized for dental operators, laboratories, and infection-control buyers that need ISO 13485 supplier discipline, preventive maintenance records, escalation routing, and audit-ready documentation without creating a separate workflow for every product family.
Each tier defines coverage, response expectations, and documentation. The goal is clarity for value analysis committees, biomedical teams, office managers, and procurement owners before an order is placed.
| Service Tier | Coverage | On-site Response | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platinum 24/7 | 365 days x 24 hours for critical dental equipment and selected diagnostic workflows | Target within 4 hours in urban zones | Installation record, PM log, escalation report, and closure notes |
| Gold | Seven-day daytime support for high-utilization clinics and laboratories | Target within 8 hours where field coverage is available | Service report, parts history, calibration reference, and buyer summary |
| Silver | Business-day support for planned maintenance and documentation requests | Next business day parts or remote triage | Preventive maintenance report and IFU or UDI document packet |
| Per-call | On-demand support for selected equipment or transition accounts | 24 to 72 hour scheduling window | Service event record and recommended next action |
Service language is intentionally precise. A product may be FDA cleared, CE marked under MDR 2017/745, distributed under a specific supplier QMS, or supported through a documented field service channel. Henry Schein avoids broad safety promises and instead helps buyers collect the materials that legal, clinical, and procurement teams actually review: IFUs, lot and device identifiers, preventive maintenance schedules, storage assumptions, and point-of-use training records.
The process is designed to be practical for busy care teams. It starts with the product mix, maps each item to a responsible owner, then builds a package that can be reviewed by operations, compliance, and finance.
Confirm whether the program covers dental chairs, sterilization, diagnostic tests, infection-control consumables, or a mixed catalog. The scope identifies regulated documentation, replenishment risk, training needs, and site-level exceptions.
Map the relevant supplier quality documents, product family references, UDI assumptions, lot controls, and escalation contacts. Procurement receives a clear record instead of an informal email thread.
Align ordering, storage, service, and documentation with the clinic or laboratory workflow. Where technology is involved, the review notes cybersecurity, LIS or practice-management touchpoints, and responsible support teams.
Deliver a practical packet for committee review: product summary, IFU links, maintenance assumptions, substitution rules, infection-control notes, and escalation paths for service events.
Use it to compare service levels, document ownership, and support coverage before expanding a program across locations.
