The product mix that makes up the "procedural package" varies based on the individual needs of the patient.

The manufacturer's sales representative may bring many sizes and types of implants and other auxiliary products to the surgery along with the instrumentation sets. Under the DVD method an order for products is placed through ECAT and the products and the products are delivered direct to the customer via any transportation carrier. Under the consignment method an Medical Treatment (MTF's) will have the products that make up the procedural package consigned to their facility.
At the request of the MTF's, the manufacturer is required to have a qualified representative on site at the MTF's within the timeframe specified by the facility necessary to meet their requirements.
