Life Science Outsourcing’s distribution simulation testing services check packaging systems against genuine, real-world hazards, and ensures compliance.
There are numerous variables that medical packages and products will encounter when traveling from the point of manufacture to the sterilization facility, distribution center, health care facility, or final destination. Distribution Simulation is a large and quintessential component that complies with the ISO 11607 standard.
It may also be necessary to expose the medical packages and products to atmospheric conditioning to simulate particular field conditions that a packaged product or component may encounter during its expected life cycle or testing cycle. The ASTM D4332 standard addresses this.
Distribution Simulation is a systematic and repetitious way of testing shipping containers. It uses testing equipment to expose packaging systems to genuine, real-life hazards that may be encountered during the distribution environment. A medical package falling from a forklift, swaying around a truck during transit, or being stacked on top of other packages / containers in a storage warehouse are all examples of distribution occurrences.
Distribution Simulation Testing falls into one of three categories:
