Predictika · Central venous catheter kit orders

An AI sales agent's Teleflex Arrow catheter kit order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for Teleflex Arrow acute central venous catheter kits, with a catheter family, lumen count, French size, length, insertion site, the clinical needs on the request, a contract discount and a number of cases. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the kit configurations and returns a verdict, every reason and the order total it computed.

Scope: Teleflex Arrow acute central venous catheter kit orders: three catheter families, one to four lumens, French sizes, lengths by insertion site, antimicrobial and pressure injection needs, chlorhexidine allergy, contract discount and order total. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Teleflex Arrow catheter kit orders, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Kit configuration — the Arrowg+ard Blue Plus, Pressure Injectable Arrowg+ard Blue Plus and standard Arrow families, the lumen count, the French sizes each lumen count allows and the catheter lengths each insertion site allows.
  • Clinical needs on the order — an antimicrobial catheter, pressure injection and a chlorhexidine allergy, and which family each need requires or rules out.
  • Commercial limits and total — the number of cases of five kits, the contract discount and the approval it needs, a large order, and the order total the quote states, which must match the total computed from the unit prices.

Any Teleflex Arrow catheter kit order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: other Teleflex product lines and clinical decisions, which stay with the clinician. The family names and a few kit facts follow Teleflex's public product pages; the compatibility and ordering rules and every price are modeled from comparable products and are not published by Teleflex, so all figures are illustrative. The validator shows a computed order total but no line-item table.

The AI sales agentBuilds the catheter kit order from the conversation and says it is ready.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong
Click to expand
    
Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

    
What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
French sizes that depend on the lumen countOnly with care
Each lumen count allows only some French sizes, so a table of allowed pairs has to be built and kept up to date.		The lumen count and the French size are in one request and checked together on every call.
Catheter lengths that depend on the insertion siteOnly with care
Each insertion site allows only some lengths, so the rule list grows with every site and length.		The site and the length are both in the request, so the pair is checked on every call.
Clinical needs that depend on the familyOnly with workarounds
Antimicrobial coating, pressure injection and a chlorhexidine allergy each require or rule out a different family, so the rules refer to several other choices.		All the needs and the family are in the request, so each dependency is checked on every call, returning a block, an approval or nothing.
A stated order total that must match the computed totalOnly with workarounds
The total is built from the family and lumen prices and the number of kits, so a separate rule must recompute it and compare it with the stated figure.		The stated total is a field of the request and is compared with the computed order total on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.		All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

  

  

    
What this validator catches: findings from its test cases
Click to expand
    
Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the order; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1The French size chosen is not available with the selected number of lumens.
2The catheter length chosen is not offered for the selected insertion site.
3The clinician needs an antimicrobial catheter and the standard Arrow CVC is not coated.
4Pressure (power) injection is needed and this family is not the pressure injectable catheter.
5The pressure injectable catheter is modeled only as a 2- or 3-lumen 7 Fr catheter.
6The patient has a chlorhexidine allergy and this family is chlorhexidine-coated.
7The patient has a chlorhexidine allergy and the kit includes a chlorhexidine skin prep; a clinician should confirm a kit without it.
8The order must have at least 1 case (5 kits per case); the order has 0.
941 cases is a large order; a supply manager should confirm availability.
10The contract discount of 20 percent is above 15 percent; contracts management should approve it.
11The contract discount of 26 percent is above the 25 percent limit.
12The order states a total of $1,320.01; the kits quoted add up to $1,320.00.
13A 4-lumen 20 cm catheter at a femoral site is short; a clinician should confirm the length.
1445 cases is a large order; a supply manager should confirm availability.
15The order states a total of $1,320.00; the kits quoted add up to $3,960.00.

The agent's request. Please quote 4 cases of the three-lumen standard Arrow catheter kit, 5.5 French, 16 cm, for a femoral insertion site, where the clinician needs an antimicrobial catheter and pressure injection, with a contract discount of 30 percent, for an order total of $920.00. It is ready to send.

    
Verdict: Blocked.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares an order for Teleflex Arrow acute central venous catheter kits, with a catheter family, lumen count. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the kit configurations and returns a verdict, every reason and the order total it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote 4 cases of the three-lumen standard Arrow catheter kit, 5.5 French, 16 cm, for a femoral insertion site. It is ready to send. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with five findings, all in one answer. The French size chosen is not available with the selected number of lumens. The catheter length chosen is not offered for the selected insertion site. The clinician needs an antimicrobial catheter and the standard Arrow CVC is not coated. The other two are on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned five blocking findings in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the order are checked against each other.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for french sizes that depend on the lumen count, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the family to Pressure Injectable Arrowg+ard Blue Plus, the french size to 7, the length to 30, the contract discount to 10 percent and the order total stated on the quote to $1,800.00.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. This time the validator clears it.
    12. 
      
  12. All five earlier findings are cleared.
    13. 
      
  13. Five problems caught in one call, fixed in one pass, and a clean $1,800.00 order. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
