Crappy medical supplies
I found these five defective items in under a week.
The four defective lancets were out of seventeen, and I picked up two of them in a row. I use up to four a day. I've also found them with no wire inside. The syringe has a section of the body missing, and the missing plastic wasn't in the plastic bag. I use two a day for my Insulin. |

Does the bag say "Made in China" ?? |

All the supplies come thru the GSA, and you know what kind of sweetheart deals go on there. |

These had a shipping label from the OEM to the local clinic, and they just stuck a new label over that. The shipping box was still sealed. What are the chances that UPS would allow someone to ship forgeries with the wrong shipping address & account number? |

The VA didn't make them, they got snookered by one or more cheating suppliers. They can no longer afford to do the anti-fraud checking they used to do. ?-( |

US made by one of the leading US suppliers. No lot or date codes on the packaging. Quality issues aren't unique to off-shore vendors. I hope you returned the defective stuff. Otherwise they may not know that improvements are required. A wide range of defects to occur in one batch. Filling packets might be a subcontracted task assigned to the plastics extrusion fab. Different quality controls. Different pricing structure. Different labor policies. less likely to justify automation........ Just guessing. It'll be someone earning minimum wage that gets spanked.
