What are the failure prevention strategies and quality assurance measures needed for Locator Fixed?

ZEST employs comprehensive quality control through proper training and support:

Common Failure Causes:

  • Inappropriate planning: Cases not properly planned from start
  • Variable control issues: Missing critical steps or components
  • Inadequate training: Teams attempting cases without proper onboarding
  • Lack of ZEST involvement: Cases done without manufacturer support

Prevention Strategies:

  • ZEST involvement: Include ZEST in case planning and execution
  • Complete onboarding: Ensure full training before attempting cases
  • Protocol adherence: Follow all recommended procedures and use correct components
  • Team education: All members educated on proper protocols
  • Variable control: Systematically address all critical case factors

Quality Assurance System:

  • Territory management: ZEST representatives work to control case quality regionally
  • Proactive alerts: System flags when inserts are ordered without tooling (incomplete setup)
  • Case involvement: Direct participation in complex or initial cases
  • Ongoing support: Continuous availability for troubleshooting and guidance

Reputation Management:

  • Critical impact: One or two improperly executed cases can ruin the system for the entire office
  • Negative spread: One bad experience reaches 25 people, one good experience reaches 5
  • Patient confidence: Poor outcomes affect patient trust in the treatment option
  • Team confidence: Failed cases discourage staff from recommending the system

ZEST's Quality Control Philosophy: Cannot control every case in the territory, but provides comprehensive support to ensure proper execution and prevent failures that damage the system's reputation.
