Check the beauty device model.
Catch a model mismatch before treating a document as evidence.
Worked example · fictional data, not a client project
The sample matches. The document does not.
- Requested modelD-01Product brief
- Sample S-01D-01Identifier matches
- Document R-01D-02Different model listed
Request model-matched evidence before specialist review.
The sample identifier matches the brief. Coverage for D-01 has not been established by a document listing only D-02. Matching identifiers alone do not establish safety or market clearance.
Follow one model through every record.
Similar-looking devices can have different components, settings, power supplies or accessories. Start by describing the intended use and target market, then identify the exact product offered rather than relying on its catalogue category.
Record the supplier model, your item reference, configuration revision, functions, accessories, power and packaging requirements. Attach the original quotation and identify the sample received against that record. A branding or configuration change needs a fresh scope check rather than an assumption that every old document still applies.
Ask what each document actually covers.
| Evidence | Match it to | Open question |
|---|---|---|
| Specification & quotation | Exact model, revision, included components and configuration | Does the offer describe the version you want to buy? |
| Sample record | Label, model reference, photos, received accessories and revision | Is this the proposed version or a demonstration unit? |
| Supplier documents | Issuer, applicant or manufacturer, listed model, date and scope | Does the evidence cover this configuration and the claimed requirement? |
| Market requirements | Target country, intended use, claims and sales channel | What must a qualified specialist confirm before market entry? |
For a U.S. example, the FDA's aesthetic-device overview explains that intended use can affect whether a product is regulated as a medical device. That is a market-specific reference, not a conclusion about a device in our catalogue materials.
Keep sample observations separate from clearance.
- 01
Define the review
Agree which configuration and commercial questions the sample should resolve. Confirm suitable evaluation arrangements and the evidence still needed.
- 02
Record what was checked
Tie observations and changes to the sample reference. Functional observations are not a substitute for applicable testing or specialist regulatory review.
- 03
Make a bounded decision
Request a revised sample, obtain missing evidence or proceed to the next agreed stage. Do not describe the product as market-ready while required checks remain open.
Can ARBO certify the product or promise a result?
No. ARBO supports supplier sourcing, sample coordination and evidence follow-up. The buyer and qualified specialists must confirm product classification, applicable requirements and final acceptance. This guide makes no medical or performance claims for a device.
