Purchasing CO2RE Intima internal handpieces requires a clear match between the clinic’s equipment and the component being supplied.

Online offers may use “tips,” “applicators” or “handpieces” interchangeably. Buyers should resolve the exact reference, package contents and equipment compatibility before comparing prices.

This guide explains how to evaluate five-pack quotations and organize replacement stock. For identification, read our [AS95191 and KT77821 internal component guide](/blogs/news/co2re-intima-internal-tips-as95191-kt77821).

Specify the Required Internal Product

A purchasing request should identify:

• Regular internal component category.
• Individual reference shown on the required product.
• KT77821 five-pack reference where applicable.
• Console and Intima configuration.
• Required quantity.
• Minimum remaining shelf life.
• Delivery destination.
• Required delivery date.

Avoid asking only for “Candela Intima accessories.” That description leaves internal versus external components unresolved.

If AS95191 is included in the request, ask the supplier to confirm it against the actual label.

Confirm Five Individual Handpieces

KT77821 is recorded as a five-pack of regular internal handpieces. accessgudid.nlm.nih.gov

The quote should distinguish one pack containing five components from an order containing five packs.

Also establish whether the offer is a manufacturer pack or a seller-assembled bundle. Both quantity and packaging should be represented accurately.

Calculate Price Per Component

Use a consistent unit:

Product cost per handpiece = pack price ÷ handpieces included

For illustration, a hypothetical five-pack priced at $300 has a product cost of $60 per handpiece.

Then include disclosed transaction costs:

Delivered cost per handpiece = total purchasing cost ÷ total handpieces ordered

These calculations help compare equivalent offers. They do not establish origin, compatibility or clinical suitability.

An Illustrative Price Comparison

These figures are hypothetical, not current quotations.

Taxes, import charges and other applicable costs should be included where relevant.

Compare Equivalent Internal Components

Before selecting an offer, check that the products match in:

• Exact reference.
• Regular internal category.
• Manufacturer identity.
• Equipment compatibility.
• Pack contents.
• Remaining shelf life.
• Protective packaging.
• Support terms.

Do not compare an external five-pack with an internal five-pack as though they were the same product.

A lower price for expired or inadequately documented inventory does not establish equivalent purchasing value.

Verify the Supplier’s Claims

Ask for support where the goods are described as original, manufacturer sealed or compatible with a particular system.

Origin

Request manufacturer labeling and appropriate traceability information.

Compatibility

Request the exact supported equipment configuration rather than broad brand-level wording.

Condition

Ask whether all items are unopened and whether any packages are damaged.

Support

Establish the process for incorrect goods, shortages and reported defects.

A product reference appearing in a public database does not authenticate the seller’s stock.

What a Complete Quote Includes

Request a written quotation stating:

• Seller identity.
• Individual and pack references.
• Total quantity.
• Manufacturer and stated origin.
• Product condition.
• Expiration dates.
• Stock availability.
• Shipping origin.
• Dispatch estimate.
• Shipping charges.
• Import responsibilities.
• Return and defect terms.

If the order contains several batches, request a quantity and date breakdown.

A photograph of one box is not confirmation of every batch in the shipment.

Plan Bulk Orders Around Usage and Shelf Life

Use actual consumption records when choosing an order size.

Months of stock = individual components ordered ÷ average monthly usage

An order of twenty components for a clinic using five per month represents approximately four months of stock.

Compare this period with remaining shelf life at delivery and allow an appropriate buffer.

Do not base consumption planning on reuse of single-use components.

Track Internal and External Stock Separately

Separate inventory records prevent one product category from concealing a shortage of another.

For each item, record:

• Exact reference.
• Internal or external category.
• Supplier.
• Batch.
• Expiration.
• Available quantity.
• Items held for investigation.
• Reorder point.

Use stock with the earliest valid expiry first and store it according to the applicable instructions.

Confirm Full Replenishment Time

Lead time includes supplier preparation, dispatch, transit and customs clearance where relevant.

Ask when the order will leave and distinguish that estimate from carrier delivery time.

If stock is needed before a particular date, communicate the requirement before payment. Confirm whether the quoted quantity ships together or in separate deliveries.

Inspect Goods on Arrival

Compare the delivery with the invoice and purchase order.

Record references, quantities, batch information, dates and package condition. Photograph discrepancies and report them promptly.

Keep expired, damaged or unidentified components separate from usable stock.

Follow manufacturer instructions when handling or verifying the goods. Do not use a patient procedure as an informal product test.

Returns and Defect Claims

Review the policy before opening packages.

Ask how the supplier handles:

• Incorrect product references.
• Quantity shortages.
• Damaged packaging.
• Expiration differing from the quote.
• Unopened returns.
• Operational complaints.

Confirm claim deadlines, required evidence, return-shipping responsibility and remedies.

For an operational problem, document the exact equipment and component reference. Do not force connections or modify the component.
