We are responsible for all indemnity issues here.
Nothing comes in unless indemnity process is completed.
If theres a MIA we get a delivery note as per PASA indemnity and the kit is tested and logged on the inventory as loan.
if theres no MIA we set a mirrored one up and either of the MED managers and the Chief Exec of the trust aurthorise it. If theres an issue surrounding the supplier wanting different levels (lower) than Pasa levels we go to the trust solicitor for advice. When the kits finished with we set it as removed. There is also a bright red label attached which states the date the device is indemnified and that it needs to not be used after that.
Works very well.
But you have to have it in your Medical Equipment Policy, it has to be backed at borad level and it has to be policed. With appropriate actions against those who dont comply.
