OEM Quality Without the Brand Mark-Up — A 5-Step Checklist for East Africa

OEM-grade dialyzers often roll off the same production lines as top global brands—but reach East African clinics at 30–40% lower cost when routed through SHK Medical’s bulk pipeline. Here’s how to verify quality and switch with confidence.

5-Point OEM Quality Checklist

1. Certification Proof – ISO 9001:2015 & CE certificates available for every SHK batch.

2. Batch-Level Test Reports – Endotoxin and fibre-integrity data travel with the shipment.

3. 14-Day In-Clinic Trial Pack – Run side-by-side on your machines before full adoption.

4. Regulatory Dossier Help – SHK team prepares the paperwork.

5. Outcome Tracking – Quarterly dashboard: Kt/V, patient comfort, infection rate.

Real Numbers

Annual consumable spend for 100 patients:

• Branded supplies – $200 k

• SHK bulk model – $120 k
Savings: ≈ $80 k (-40%)

Switch-Over Roadmap

Month 1 Assess current costs & request samples

Month 2 Run trial pack + collect staff feedback

Month 3 Sign 6-month supply contract

Month 4 Full roll-out with on-site training

Month 6 First savings review & reorder
