For IVD importers and distributors, reviewing a new pregnancy self-test brings together several decisions. Your commercial team needs to understand where the product may fit. Technical colleagues need to assess its intended use and supporting information. Procurement needs a clear specification for the proposed order.
A shared set of questions can help these teams prepare a focused supplier discussion. For a saliva pregnancy self-test, we suggest reviewing four areas: market and channel, product and workflow, evidence and documents, and supply and support.
Begin with the customers you already understand. Identify your target country, the channels you plan to approach and the role a saliva-based option could have within your pregnancy-testing portfolio.
Consider what pharmacy buyers, healthcare channels or other relevant customers would need to evaluate before introducing the product. Record their questions about product use, presentation, documentation and purchasing requirements.
Treat assumptions about local demand as questions to investigate. Channel discussions and a defined evaluation plan can help you decide what information you need next. Country-specific market access and existing distribution arrangements should be confirmed for the proposed project.
BioTeke’s Saliva Pregnancy Test Kit is a saliva-based pregnancy self-test. Start your product review with the current instructions for use, or IFU, for the exact model and configuration under consideration.
Ask your team to work through the information a future user or channel colleague would need: sample collection, the operating sequence, result interpretation and stated limitations. Check that the product images, packaging information and supporting materials refer to the configuration you are discussing.
This review also helps identify the information your sales and customer-support teams will need. Product explanations should remain consistent with the applicable IFU.
When reviewing study findings, begin with the population and samples evaluated. Then identify the comparison method and the meaning of each reported result. Sample counts, metric definitions and confidence intervals help readers assess what the findings support.[1]
For a self-test, also ask what information is available about use by non-professional users and result interpretation. Read study information alongside the intended use and instructions for the relevant product version.
If a finding is unclear, record a specific question for the manufacturer. For example: Which product configuration was studied? What does this percentage measure? Which operating conditions applied? A precise question makes the follow-up discussion more useful.
A useful quotation starts with a clear purchasing specification. Share the target country, intended channel, product configuration and expected order quantity. Identify any packaging-language or presentation requirements that need discussion.
Confirm the commercial details for the proposed project, including minimum order quantity, lead time, payment terms and the support available. Where local documentation or packaging changes are relevant, clarify the responsibilities and scope before proceeding.
Keep these points in a shared record so that the quotation and the internal product review refer to the same configuration.
Review area | Question to resolve | Suggested discussion owner |
|---|---|---|
Market & channel | Where could the product fit in our portfolio and customer base? | Commercial / product management |
Product & workflow | What should our team understand about use and interpretation? | Technical / product management |
Evidence & documents | Which current materials support the intended use and claims? | Technical / regulatory |
Supply & support | What specification, terms and support need to be agreed? | Procurement / commercial |
Adapt the responsibilities to your organisation. The aim is to give everyone involved a clear question and a record of the information still needed.
