SVC-B technical service model

Service engineered to your QMS.

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.

Structured service tiers

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 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.

Methodology used during implementation

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.

  1. 01

    Scope Definition

    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.

  2. 02

    Supplier Controls

    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.

  3. 03

    Workflow Integration

    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.

  4. 04

    Documentation Package

    Deliver a practical packet for committee review: product summary, IFU links, maintenance assumptions, substitution rules, infection-control notes, and escalation paths for service events.
