Cleanroom Access and Quality Infrastructure Without Building Your Own Facility

You have a device that works.

What you don’t have is a cleanroom, a validated manufacturing environment, or an established quality system — and your timeline does not allow you to build one from scratch.

LSO’s Medical Device Incubator Service provides facility access, ISO 13485 infrastructure, and regulatory guidance so you can move from development to production without capital-intensive buildout

Infrastructure Without Capital Expenditure

Building your own manufacturing facility requires:

  • Cleanroom construction

  • QMS implementation

  • FDA registration

  • Validation planning

  • Experienced manufacturing leadership

LSO provides:

  • Use of certified cleanrooms

  • Office space with a physical address

  • ISO 13485-certified manufacturing infrastructure

  • Quality management system development support 

Rather than diverting capital to build cleanrooms and implement a quality system, you operate within an established ISO 13485-certified manufacturing environment.

Regulatory Alignment from Day One

Manufacturing decisions made early affect regulatory timelines later.

The incubator program supports:

  • FDA registration support

  • ISO and FDA audit readiness

  • Sterilization and package validation alignment

  • UDI implementation guidance

Quality infrastructure is not added after the fact. It is built into the production environment from the start.

Clinical, R&D, and Early Production Builds

Startups often need structured manufacturing support before full commercialization.

The incubator model supports:

  • Clinical and R&D builds

  • Early production runs

  • Packaging and validation support

  • Full traceability within an established

This creates a practical path from “working prototype” to “regulated production.”

  • End-to-end support: Partner with experienced teams to ensure smooth project execution.

Cleanroom Access — Product Compatibility

LSO cleanroom access is designed to support medical device and regulated life science applications that require controlled environments, particulate control, and ISO-aligned quality systems. The following guidance helps determine whether your product is a good fit.

Products That Work Well in LSO Cleanrooms

Suitable Applications Notes
Medical devices (sterile & non-sterile) Core use case
Single-use disposable medical devices Assembly and packaging supported
Catheters, tubing, fluid paths Medical-grade handling
Wound care products and dressings Pre-sterilization workflows
Medical kits and procedure trays Kitting and packaging supported
Sterile barrier packaging assembly Sealing, inspection, and preparation
Diagnostic device components (non-reagent) Hardware and consumables only
Medical device subassemblies Particulate-controlled assembly

Products Not Supported in LSO Cleanrooms

Not Supported Reason
Pharmaceutical / drug manufacturing Requires pharmaceutical GMP infrastructure
Drug formulation or compounding Outside LSO’s regulatory scope
Aseptic fill-finish operations Not a CDMO
Cosmetics or personal care products Different regulatory and cleanliness requirements
Food, beverage, or nutraceutical products No regulatory or operational overlap
Biological or biohazardous materials Requires BSL-rated facilities
Live cell, tissue, or microbial handling Not compatible with cleanroom design

Designed to Scale With You

LSO Incubator Support is not a short-term rental model.

It provides:

  • Facility utilization options

  • Access to experienced manufacturing professionals

  • Integration with assembly, packaging, sterilization, and testing services

As production demand increases, infrastructure remains aligned.

You do not outgrow the system you start in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need our own ISO 13485 certification to use the incubator?

No. Production occurs within LSO’s ISO 13485-certified environment.

Can LSO support FDA registration?

Yes. FDA registration and audit support are part of the incubator framework

Is this only for early-stage companies?

The incubator supports clinical builds, early production, and transition toward scale.

Does the incubator include cleanroom access?

Yes. Certified cleanroom environments are available as part of the program.
