How to Use This Guide

Copy any prompt directly into an AI platform (Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, etc)
Replace the text in [brackets] with your specifics.

AI is only as useful as the information you give it. Every prompt works better with more context (allocation status, launch dates, current freight rates, etc.)

Cold Chain Logistics

Cold Chain SOP: Air Freight Lane

[I manage pharmaceutical logistics for a specialty biotech / distributor. We ship temperature-sensitive products at 2–8°C and -20°C via air freight internationally.]

Draft a cold chain standard operating procedure (SOP) for our international air freight lane from [origin] to [destination]. Include:

Packaging qualification requirements by temperature range
Pre-shipment temperature mapping checklist
Carrier and handler qualification criteria (including GDP requirements)
Temperature excursion response protocol—who decides, what data is required, how to document
Documentation requirements for GDP / FDA 21 CFR Part 211 compliance 6. Post-delivery review and exception reporting process

Qualified Container Selection Framework

I need to select qualified temperature-controlled packaging for shipments of [product type] at [2–8°C / -20°C / -80°C / ambient CRT] for transit durations of [X hours to Y days] across lanes that include [specify: tropical exposure / tarmac holds / ground transit].

Build a container qualification decision framework covering: packaging options by temperature range and duration, qualification study requirements (ISTA 7D, ASTM), passive vs. active container trade-offs, vendor evaluation criteria, and how to build a qualification dossier that will satisfy GDP auditors. Include the common qualification gaps that cause failures during regulatory inspections.

Temperature Excursion Investigation Report

We experienced a temperature excursion on a shipment of [product] during [leg of journey: tarmac hold / transit warehouse / final mile]. The product reached [X°C] for [Y hours] before the deviation was discovered.

Help me structure the excursion investigation report required by GDP / FDA quality systems. Include: event timeline reconstruction, root cause analysis framework (5 Whys + Ishikawa), impact assessment structure, disposition decision documentation, CAPA template, and the communication I need to send to the consignee and QA team. Flag what a qualified person (QP) typically evaluates when making a use/reject disposition decision.

Medical Device Import & Compliance

I’m importing [Class I / Class II / Class III] medical devices from [country of manufacture] into the United States for [commercial distribution / clinical trial / compassionate use].

Build a step-by-step import readiness checklist covering:

FDA establishment registration and device listing requirements
510(k) / De Novo / PMA pathway implications for importation
HTS classification guidance for this device type and current duty rate
ISF (10+2) filing requirements and timing
FDA examination frequency and detention risk factors for this device category
Importer of Record responsibilities and bond requirements
Common documentation errors that cause CBP or FDA holds

Flag any recent FDA guidance or regulatory changes relevant to this device category.

I need to establish an import and distribution operation for [medical device type] into the EU under the Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR 2017/745).

Walk me through the key requirements: EU Authorized Representative (EU AR) appointment, CE marking pathway for my device class, EUDAMED registration obligations, economic operator responsibilities for importers and distributors, post-market surveillance requirements, and the labeling changes required for EU compliance.

Flag the most common compliance gaps for non-EU manufacturers entering the EU market for the first time under MDR (vs. old MDD).

Help me determine the correct HTS classification and FDA product code for [describe device: sterile surgical kit / diagnostic reagent / implantable device / IVD instrument].

Explain the classification logic, identify the key factors that determine which subheading applies, and flag any classification issues that commonly arise for this product type at US Customs. What documentation supports my classification position?

I need to import investigational medical devices / IMP (investigational medicinal products) into [US / EU / UK] for a Phase [II/III] clinical trial.

What are the specific import requirements for clinical trial supplies that differ from commercial importation? Cover: FDA IDE or EU CTA implications, customs treatment, documentation requirements, and storage and accountability requirements at the clinical site.

Supply Continuity & Risk Management

Critical Supply Continuity Framework

[I’m responsible for supply continuity of critical medical supplies / pharmaceuticals for a hospital network / GPO / distributor serving [X] facilities.]

Build a supply continuity framework covering:

Product criticality classification (life-sustaining / essential / non-critical) with scoring criteria
Strategic stockpile guidelines by classification tier
Supplier concentration risk assessment methodology
Early warning indicators—what signals should trigger a shortage alert before it hits our shelves
Allocation and rationing decision framework for use during shortage events
Clinical stakeholder communication protocol when supply is at risk
Post-shortage review process to update the continuity plan

Drug Shortage Response Playbook

We just received FDA shortage notification (or internal signal) for [drug / device class] that we distribute or rely on clinically. The shortage is expected to last [X weeks / months].

Build an immediate response playbook:

Day 1–3: information gathering and internal alert protocol
Week 1: inventory audit, conservation protocol initiation, therapeutic alternative identification process
Ongoing: allocation model for fair distribution to customers, communication templates for clinical stakeholders, and alternative sourcing criteria including gray market / 503B compounding risk assessment
Documentation: what records to maintain during a shortage for regulatory and audit purposes

Serialization & Tracking

Cross-Border & Regulatory Compliance

I need to assess our readiness for full DSCSA (Drug Supply Chain Security Act) interoperability requirements as a [manufacturer / wholesale distributor / dispenser / 3PL].

Walk me through:

Key DSCSA obligations by trading partner type for my role
System requirements: what our WMS / TMS / ERP needs to support for saleable returns verification, suspect product investigation, and EPCIS event reporting
Where most companies in my position have the largest compliance gaps right now
How to evaluate a serialization technology / DSCSA compliance platform partner
A 90-day readiness assessment structure I can use before engaging a consultant Also flag any recent FDA guidance or enforcement signals I should be aware of.

I’m a medical device manufacturer that needs to implement UDI (Unique Device Identification) compliance for [US FDA / EU MDR / multiple markets].

Build an implementation readiness checklist covering: labeling requirements by device class and market, GUDID / EUDAMED data submission requirements, package level considerations (unit / case / pallet), supply chain data transmission requirements to distributors, and the operational changes our DC and 3PL partners need to support.

Flag the most common UDI implementation failures that cause product holds or regulatory citations.
