What
is an Authorized Distributor?
Manufacturers choose distributors to sell their products based
upon specific criteria, such as meeting strict quality and safety
standards. Typically, a manufacturer wants a distributor partner
who will not only sell their products but also service them after
the sale. Technical products, such as vision screeners and audiometers,
often require an in-service to educate buyers on how to properly
use them. An Authorized Distributor is in good standing with the
manufacturer and maintains the proper licensing and certification
that may be required to sell certain medical products.

Caution
Many companies that do not obtain "Authorized Distributor"
status are able to source products through alternative means by
buying from resellers or buying groups. Be careful, not buying through
an Authorized Distributor may result in an invalid warranty and
failure to receive important notifications regarding manufacturer
recalls and product upgrades.
