How to Use This Guide

  1. Copy any prompt directly into an AI platform (Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, etc)
  2. 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 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:

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

 

Note: Adapt temperature ranges and regulatory framework (EU GDP, WHO, FDA) to your specific market and product.

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.

 

Note: Container qualification data is a regulatory asset—document it from day one.

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.
Note: Excursion investigation quality directly affects regulatory inspection outcomes — structured documentation matters.

Medical Device Import & Compliance

Medical Device Import & Compliance

 

我们的国旗

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:

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

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

 

Note: Always engage a licensed customs broker and FDA regulatory consultant for medical device imports—this prompt accelerates your prep conversations with them.
欧盟旗

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).

 

Note: EU MDR compliance timelines are longer than most manufacturers expect—start this analysis early.

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:

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

 

Note: Review and test this framework annually—and after every major shortage event.

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

 

 

Note: Shortage documentation protects your organization — maintain a shortage file for each event.

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:

  1. Key DSCSA obligations by trading partner type for my role
  2. System requirements: what our WMS / TMS / ERP needs to support for saleable returns verification, suspect product investigation, and EPCIS event reporting
  3. Where most companies in my position have the largest compliance gaps right now
  4. How to evaluate a serialization technology / DSCSA compliance platform partner
  5. 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.

 

Note: Also useful for 3PLs handling pharmaceutical clients — you need to understand what your customers need from you.

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.

 

Note: UDI data quality errors create downstream supply chain problems — build data governance into your implementation plan.
