No matter how carefully engineered your medical device may be, the challenges of transport—impact, pressure, vibration, humidity—can compromise both its performance and safety. You face the dual pressure of meeting regulatory requirements and ensuring that every shipment arrives intact, sterile, and compliant. Labelling must remain legible, barcodes scannable, and packaging seals uncompromised, no matter the journey.
Eurofins Medical Device Services network of laboratories, simulates the full spectrum of transportation conditions to validate the robustness of your packaging systems, shipping configurations, and labelling. Our state-of-the-art package testing facility conducts both standard and bespoke distribution cycles, with testing aligned to FDA-recognised standards including ASTM D4169, ASTM D7386, and ISTA series 1, 2, and 3 protocols.
Whether you're simulating DC-13 for air and freight shipments up to 150lbs or developing a tailored sequence, our equipment and packaging engineers deliver data you can rely on. We also provide testing under variable environmental conditions—cycling between cold, tropical, and arid zones—to assess how adhesives, inks, and packaging materials respond to climate shifts during transit. Our approach validates your packaging will withstand global distribution; confirms that UDI-compliant labelling remains intact and legible; ensures seals do not fail after exposure to stressors; and streamlines your route to regulatory approval and market release.
