Miga Market Update: Supply chain conditions as of 11.23.22

As we head into the holidays and year-end, global supply chain conditions are uncertain, and will remain so, into 2023. Each week, hospitals report new supplier-confirmed backorders that won’t be filled until mid-2023 or later.

The most recent urgent product requests include saline vials, bags, and flushes; EKG electrodes; 3M® 1010 surgical drapes; large size specialty needles; cannula tips; and select BD blood collection products, green top tubes in particular.

There continue to be backlogs and delays for a range of equipment due to shortages of materials and components including chips, monitor displays, and batteries. Hospitals should triple-check pending and outstanding orders for delays that could affect operations.

Hospitals should also monitor and increase order quantity for most-in-demand products until the reliability of supplier allocations and delivery times improves. Conservation of some products remains an option for minimizing the impact of shortages.

Know the right price.

And get it.

Having the right information saves hospitals time and money on medical equipment lifecycle costs.
