Article Summary
As the medical device industry increasingly embraces full-service, outsourced manufacturing, one of the value-added functions OEMs have come to expect from third-party service providers is product validation. From product conception to design transfer to sterilization, just about every step along the manufacturing continuum requires design and process validation, and vendors have responded by making validation services a regular part of their offerings.

Costa Mesa, CA, May 19, 2005 – http://www.testedandproven.com - DDL West, a CA-based package, product and material testing laboratory is addressing declining packaging standards in California by helping manufacturers maintain package integrity and contain costs.
California-based medical device manufacturers are increasingly struggling to maintain the integrity of their packaging while staying within budget.
“Many CA-based manufacturers are cutting down on the amount of testing they do in order to save money,” said Michael Foster, DDL West Package Engineer. “Instead of testing 30 package samples, they may only test 10, which results in a much lower confidence level.”
