SHR vs IPL vs elight terminology

Ask what each proposed label identifies

Ask the supplier to identify the equipment designation associated with SHR, IPL or Elight in its response. Request a separate description for each proposed item, including the category wording used on its configuration sheet. Ask whether a label refers to equipment, a module or wording displayed by the proposed interface.

Collect the equipment image and label photograph associated with each description. Ask for clarification if the same wording appears against different assemblies in the quotation. Keep the supplier's explanation beside the item it addresses, and request a corrected designation schedule when the response leaves the relationship between equipment and module names unclear.

Connect interface wording with equipment names

Request representative interface images from the configuration being quoted. Ask the supplier to identify where the SHR, IPL or Elight labels appear and which equipment designation those images concern. Ask which version of the interface is represented so that your reviewer can connect the images with the proposed assembly.

List the interface terms that your purchasing team needs explained. Request a document connecting each term with its corresponding configuration description and manual reference. Ask for clarification where an interface image contains a name absent from the quotation, and request replacement images if the proposed interface version changes during the equipment discussion.

Separate the proposed accessory schedules

Ask for the accessory schedule associated with each separately identified equipment proposal. Request the names and references of the included handpieces and ask which accessories require another quotation. Keep the equipment designation attached to each accessory entry so your team can identify which proposed package the response actually describes.

Request images or drawings identifying the proposed handpieces. Ask whether each illustration shows the included assembly or another item offered separately, and request clarification when its reference differs from the accessory schedule. Compare the answered schedules before considering prices so that different package contents remain visible in the purchasing comparison.

Request the relevant parameter document

Ask for the original parameter document associated with each proposed designation. Request the parameter labels, units and configuration reference your technical reviewer needs to examine. Ask the supplier to identify any entries referring to an accessory rather than the equipment assembly, and connect those entries with the relevant accessory reference.

Request the supporting test document when the reviewer needs further information about an entry. Ask which configuration and test conditions the document addresses, including the identity of the assembly examined. Keep that response with the parameter entry so your purchasing comparison preserves the distinction between the named equipment and the subject of the test.

Match intended use and restriction files

Request the intended use document for each quoted equipment designation and ask for its language and revision. Ask which restriction and contraindication files accompany that document. Identify the responsible professional who will assess the files on your side and ask for the exact equipment references that the documents cover.

Check whether separately proposed modules have their own accompanying files. Request a correspondence list linking those files with the relevant module and the equipment assembly. Return mismatched designations as document questions, and request the appropriate attachments before the professional reviewer considers whether the proposed package belongs in the purchasing shortlist.

Keep the comparison tied to current proposals

Prepare a comparison sheet with separate columns for the proposed equipment designation, interface wording, accessory schedule and intended use attachment. Ask the supplier to answer any naming question against the affected item. Request a revised sheet if a proposed module changes while the quotation is being discussed with your team.

Ask for the manual language and document format associated with each proposal. Request the relevant training document inventory, including the equipment and accessory coverage of each file. Keep questions about terminology separate from commercial questions so that the purchasing team can understand the proposed package before it decides which offer to develop further.
