What this tool helps you prepare
This checker helps you confirm the supplies you have on hand are the right ones, ready and enough for the care ahead. Inspect supplies rather than answering from memory.

Supply-readiness brief
This planning tool is not a diagnosis, prescription or emergency service.
Identify before counting
Place the current instruction beside the physical product and check name, purpose, size, connection, packaging and storage requirement. Similar-looking items are not interchangeable unless the responsible plan confirms them.
Separate unopened usable stock from opened, damaged, expired, recalled or uncertain items. Keep questionable products out of the active procedure area until clarified.
- Current instruction
- Exact product and size
- Compatibility
- Quarantined uncertainty

Calculate continuity from actual use
Count tasks per day and the quantity consumed per task, including legitimate wastage specified by the procedure. Convert usable stock into days remaining and compare this with reorder threshold, delivery lead time, weekends and public holidays.
Name who orders, pays, receives, checks and stores each delivery. Dispatch confirmation is not receipt; compare and resolve delivered products before the remaining stock reaches its threshold.
- Task-rate calculation
- Days remaining
- Lead-time allowance
- Named supply owners

Prepare the environment and fallback
Check temperature, light, moisture, security, clean workspace, water, power, waste route and access. Put routine reserve and authorised emergency stock in clearly distinguished locations.
Record who responds to a late delivery, damaged batch, power loss or equipment alarm. Separate supplier replacement, nursing-provider logistics and clinical escalation because one contact may not solve all three.
Record the person responsible for replacing each critical item and the latest safe reorder point.
- Safe storage
- Procedure workspace
- Distinct reserves
- Three-part fallback

Does a checked box mean the supply is clinically approved?
No. It means the user reports checking that item. Product choice and quantity remain governed by current instructions and professional assessment.
Should emergency stock be used first?
No. Keep it distinct and use it only according to the authorised contingency, with a replacement plan.
