3. Contents of this module Supply list for Xpert MTB/RIF Record keeping: Stock log book use and importance Calculation of supplies to order Ordering and receipt of supplies Storage and shelf life of supplies
4. Supply management means… Properly maintained and adequate supplies to ensure uninterrupted service and to minimize waste
5. Structure of a supply management system: National level Countries should consider implementing the centralized (national, regional) management of Xpert MTB/RIF supplies integrated into the general purchase system, as for microscopy or for drugs supplies The system should be coordinated by the government and should include Ministry of Health, donors and partners
6. Supply management system Adapt to country-specific system Describesupply management system(s) in your country
7. Ordering of Supplies What to order? From where? How much? How often? How to assess the correctness of an order? What is the lead time needed? What is the reserve (buffer) stock needed? Who is responsible for placing orders? Always consider the shelf-life of the ordered material, and your storage capacity under appropriate conditions
8. Supplies required for Xpert MTB/RIF:Provided by Cepheid GeneXpert instrument with computer (laptop or desktop) and barcode reader When ordering, specify the working language to ensure a proper keyboard, etc. Kits of Xpert MTB/RIF test cartridges Kits of Xpert MTB/RIF calibrationcartridges Note: Cepheid can provide a UPS (uninterruptable power supply)*, which provides very limited power backup. However it is better to procure a UPS (and batteries, etc) locally *Specifications: Online UPS - Powervar. 800 VA capacity for a 4-module GeneXpert and computer; 110v or 220v depending on country. Minimal transfer time 4ms max. Extra batteries can be added to extend duration.
9. Supplies required for Xpert MTB/RIF:GeneXpert (Cepheid) Note: a 4 module instrument shell can be procured with only 1 or 2 modules, for later expansion

22. Stock management It is Good Laboratory Practice to have a designated person for supply management, who performs the following activities: Performing a “stock count” Maintaining proper inventory records Determining how much to order to avoid stock-outs and expiring of cartridges Placing orders properly Inspecting and verifying supplies received Ensuring proper storage of stock
23. Stock log book: required data Date and amountordered Date of receipt of item Amount received Lot-number Expiry date Amount of used items Balance of items still in stock
24. Stock Log Book: Example To be customized by each country Item name: ________________ Unit: ______________________
25. Perform a stock count What is it?  Physically counting each item in the stock When is it done?  Recommended at the end of each month Who does it?  A designated person All items must be accounted for. Everything that comes in and goes out must be recorded
26. Data required for calculating supplies Number of tests performed (average per month) Stock on hand (physical count) Shelflife Lead time Period of time to cover with the supplies The followingexamples are for a facility-basedsupply management and canbecustomizedforuse at the central level
27. Examples of items required Items Sputum containers Xpert MTB/RIF kits Concentrated bleach solution Disposable Pasteur pipettes
28. Calculate quarterly requirementforXpertMTB/RIF tests Adapt to country-specific system * * Or other time period
29. Quantities required for one Xpert MTB/RIF test (B) To be customized by each country
30. Total number of tests performed in the previous quarter The value (A) equals the number of Xpert MTB/RIF tests performed during the previous quarter
31. Calculation for one quarter of supply of an item (C) The value (C) equals the quantity of an item required for one quarter Calculate (C) by multiplying the number of tests performed during a quarter (A) by the amount of the item needed for one examination (B), therefore: A x B = C
32. Example 1: to calculate one quarter of supplyof Xpert MTB/RIF cartridges (C) In the last quarter, you performed 600 Xpert MTB/RIF tests (A) You need 0.02 of Xpert MTB/RIF kits (50 tests in kit) per test (B), so how many kits will you need for the next quarter (C)? A x B = C 600 tests x 0.02 kit/test = 12 kits
33. Example 1: to calculate reserve quantity (D) of Xpert MTB/RIF kits The value (D) equals a one month consumption quantity of an item that must be kept as a reserve The value (D) is equal to (C)/3, the quantity of an item calculated for one month: D= C/3 Reserve stock of Xpert MTB/RIF kits equals 12 kits (C) /3= 4 kits (D)
34. Example 1: to calculate Xpert MTB/RIF supply, stock on hand (E) The value (E) equals the stock on hand Determine (E) by the an actual physical count of existing stock (inventory) Assume stock in hand is 3 Xpert MTB/RIF kits
35. Example 1: to calculate required quantity (F) of Xpert MTB/RIF kits The value (F) equals the quantity required for one quarter (C) plus the quantity required for one month reserve (D) less the stock on hand (E) Calculate (F) as follows: (F)= C+D-E Stock is hand is 3 Xpert MTB/RIF kits Calculatedquantity of kits to order foronequarter is: 12 (C) + 4 (D) – 3 (E) = 13 (F)
36. Example 1: to calculate requested / issued quantities of Xpert MTB/RIF kits Round up the calculated quantity to a quantity consistent with the unit of issue The calculated quantity of kits is 13 The order unit is box (50 tests) Order 13 boxes (650 tests)
37. Example 2: to calculate one quarter of supplyof bleach solution (C) In the last quarter, you performed 600 Xpert MTB/RIF tests (A) You need 1.5 ml of concentrated bleach solution per test (B), so how much concentrated bleach solution will you need for the next quarter (C)? A x B = C 600 tests x 1.5 ml/test = 900 ml
38. Example 2: to calculate reserve quantity (D) of bleach solution Adapt to local setting and supplies’ shelf life The value (D) equals a one month consumption quantity of an item that must be kept as a reserve The value (D) is equal to (C)/3, the quantity of an item calculated for one month: D= C/3 Reserve stock of concentratedbleachequals 900 ml (C) /3=300 ml (D)
39. Example 2: to calculate supply of bleach, stock on hand (E) The value (E) equals the stock on hand Determine (E) by the an actual physical count of existing stock (inventory) Assume stock in hand is 400 ml of concentratedbleach
40. Example 2: to calculate quantity (F) of bleach solution to order The value (F) equals the quantity required for one quarter (C) plus the quantity required for one month reserve (D) less the stock on hand (E) Calculate (F) as follows: (F)= C+D-E Stock in hand is 400 ml Calculatedquantity of bleach to order foronequarter is: 900 ml (C) + 300 ml (D) – 400 ml (E) = 800 ml (F)
41. Example 2: to calculate quantities of bleach solution to request/issue Round up the calculated quantity to a quantity consistent with the unit of issue The calculated quantity of bleach solution is 1824 mL, round it up to 2 liters The order unit is 1 liter bottle Order 2 bottles

48. Placing orders Adapt to country-specific system Procedure for placement orders depends on a source of funding Discusslocalprocurement procedures and contigency plan in case of shortages of supplies
49. Optionsforprocurement of GeneXpertinstruments and cartridges Place an order directly with Cepheid France:Cepheid HBDC SAS, Vira Solelh, 81470 Maurens-Scopont, France; ordershbdc@cepheidhbdc.com,tel. +33 563 825 333, fax +33 563 825 301 or Place an order through a Cepheid local authorized distributor. Consult Cepheid for contacts of your local provider Other project-specific procurement mechanisms are available. WHO may also be able to assist, via the Global Drug Facility
50. Prior to placing an order Follow national guidelines for pre-authorization of equipment & supplies if required Prepare documentation for importation & custom clearance or exemption of import tax (if applicable) Start well in advance, as preparation can take months Consult Cepheid about timelines of shipment of order, and what is the guaranteed minimum shelf life of cartridges to be ordered Verify if your country is among the 145 eligible countries to get GeneXpert and cartridges at reduced prices [high burden developing countries (HBDC) pricing]: http://www.finddiagnostics.org/about/what_we_do/successes/find-negotiated-prices/xpert_mtb_rif.html
51. Information needed to place an order Number of GeneXpert machines/modules Desktop or laptop computer Number of Xpert MTB/RIF cartridges Cataloguenumbers Country of delivery Destination airport Contact details of receiving party  Preferred date of delivery
52. After placing an order Cepheid/localdistributorwill prepare quotation Customer pays in advance to qualify for reduced pricing [high burden developing countries (HBDC) pricing]
53. Upon receipt Inspect & Verify the Delivery of Orders : Verify contents of order received with requisition Check integrity of received supplies Date each item received Store new shipment behind existing shipment in order to follow “FIRST EXPIRY – FIRST OUT” method Create or update records
54. Proper storage of inventory Keep in a clean, dry, well-ventilated, and organized storage area Xpert MTB/RIF kits must be kept at 2-28C Store away from direct sunlight Organize existing and new shipments by expiry date (supplies with the soonest expiry date must be used first)
55. Summary Centralized (national, regional) management of Xpert MTB/RIF supplies integrated into the general purchase system should be organized and coordinated by the Government Some of the supplies required for using the Xpert MTB/RIF assay are not provided by Cepheid When calculating orders of supplies, consider your past consumption rate, your stock on hand, the shelf-life of the ordered material, the lead time, and your storage capacity, in order to assess quantity and frequency of orders Perform a stock count physically counting each item in the stock at the end of each month by a designated person, using a stock log book Place an order providing necessary information to Cepheid directly or to your local authorized distributor
56. Assessment What is supply management? Why is a physical stock count necessary? Why is it important to maintain inventory records? How do you calculate supplies required? Why must supplies be stored properly?
57. Acknowledgements The Xpert MTB/RIF Training Package has been developed by a consortium of GLI partners, including FIND, KNCV, US CDC, USAID, TB CARE I and WHO, with funding from USAID. The modules are based on materials originally developed by FIND, KNCV and Cepheid.
