| The color of the item description indicates the stock level of the product. Where vendors can provide inventory information, product stock will be current within 24 hours. Green product descriptions indicate that the product is in stock. Yellow indicates that there is limited stock – either the vendor has discontinued the item but still has a few units left or the item is rationed. You should call the vendor directly for further information about yellow items. A red description indicates that the product is out of stock, either on vendor or manufacturer backorder. You can still order yellow and red items, but you should be advised that these items may not arrive at your clinic with the rest of your order. The figure below shows the three status levels of products. |
