Distribution testing verifies that a medical device or product can be safely transported to the end user and perform as intended in life saving operations. Verifying your tertiary, secondary and primary packaging through distribution testing can mitigate costly design flaws, while providing reproduceable test evidence that can optimize device integrity and packaging material costs. 

In part one of our package testing webinar series, you will learn how to:

• Develop a distribution testing plan that mitigates risk and delays
• Conduct testing early on your packaging system to reduce delays and resource loss
• Assess similarities and differences of ASTM D4169 & ISTA while providing evidence to support package integrity
• Avoid costly delays and mitigate risk for your device to minimize impact to device and patient safety
