Optional usage measurement
Usage events stay off until measurement is available and you explicitly allow it in the footer. You can turn it off there at any time. A browser Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal keeps optional events off, including after a previous opt-in.
When allowed, events describe page categories, search-length ranges, filter actions, comparison size, source-link actions, checklist use, and inquiry-link clicks. They do not include search text, full page URLs or query strings, product or facility names, quotes, patient information, or personal contact details.
A random identifier groups events within a browser tab, across page visits, for up to 30 minutes of inactivity. It is created only after opt-in. Turning measurement off removes this identifier and stops subsequent events; events already received are not deleted automatically. No optional event history is stored or replayed from before you opted in.
Optional events are sent to this site's measurement service without browser cookies or the referring page URL. As with other web requests, the receiving host can see network metadata such as an IP address. Optional-event storage and retention must be configured before measurement is enabled.
Browser storage for useful features
The comparison tray stores selected tools in your browser. Usage-measurement consent is stored separately. Clearing the comparison does not change your privacy choice. If storage is blocked, reading and comparison still work with the limitations explained on the page; a measurement choice may last only for the current page.
Private buyer quotes
The evaluation checklist keeps buyer-entered quotes on the current page until you choose Save on this browser. Saving stores a separate draft for the selected FDA record on this device and site origin. Anyone using this browser may be able to access it. Drafts are not encrypted by this feature, synchronized to an account, or submitted to the directory.
Use Clear this quote to remove that record's saved draft and current page inputs. Other comparison and privacy settings are separate. If browser storage is blocked or full, the page explains that saving failed and retains the current page inputs. Unsaved inputs are lost when the page is closed or reloaded. A changed saved draft is checked before overwriting; simultaneous activity across tabs still requires care.
Download private quote creates a file containing your inputs; printing includes the current quote. You control those files and any sharing. Quote values do not enter page URLs, public directory data or optional usage-event payloads. Keep patient data out of the worksheet.
Private capacity and cost scenarios
The capacity model uses page-only assumptions until you explicitly save a scenario on this browser. A saved scenario restores on return, uses its own storage key and is not encrypted or synchronized to an account. Clear this scenario removes only that saved scenario and the page inputs. An observed changed saved copy blocks overwrite or clearing until you explicitly load it; this is not an atomic multi-tab transaction guarantee.
Download private snapshot includes your input values, scope and source notes, calculated results, formulas and calculation version. Printing includes the current input snapshot and unresolved checks. You control these files. A model-version mismatch or unreadable saved record is not applied. Storage failure retains current inputs. No assumptions, amounts, results, source notes or model actions enter optional usage payloads or page URLs. Saved quotes and public prices are not copied into the model.
Committee packet downloads
Public selection links contain FDA record IDs and comparison-view choices only. They open current directory data. Private quotes and scenarios are excluded from these links and are never attached automatically.
After you explicitly choose a saved quote or scenario, the packet includes a fixed copy in its preview, print and downloaded HTML/JSON. The scenario needs your note about how its scope relates to the evaluation. Removing an appendix removes it from subsequent packet exports; it does not delete the underlying saved draft. Packet attachments themselves are not saved to browser storage or submitted. Downloaded HTML is self-contained and script-free and does not load newer directory data. You control any sharing of downloaded files. The public sample contains clearly fictional facility inputs and does not read your saved drafts.
Hosting and external services
The hosting service may maintain request, security, and error logs independently of optional usage events. This page's usage controls do not manage those logs. Do not enter patient or confidential facility information into directory searches or public forms.
Correction and sponsor inquiries open an external Tally form. Following a link does not establish that a form was submitted. The external service's privacy terms apply to information you choose to send. Other source links take you to the source publisher's website.
