The Right Medical Device Outsourcing Partner from Start to Finish
J-Pac recognizes that you are challenged to develop better products, achieve faster time-to-market, and lower total cost. Yet your resources are becoming more limited, requiring you to do more with less.
The back-end product realization processes required to launch a medical device are the single biggest cause of delays because they require complex and highly regulated processes that take more time than expected.
J-Pac’s medical device outsourcing model results in faster and less expensive product launches by executing the backend headaches of package design, sterilization validation, shelf life testing, and manufacturing scale-up in parallel to product design.

FAQs
Learn more about medical device packaging, validation, and design by reading a few of the most common questions we hear from our customers.
How do you validate medical device packaging?
Packaging validation is complex. There are several processes that must be completed
- The manufacturing process to produce the packaging’s sterile barrier system must be validated. This requires an Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) to be conducted on the manufacturing equipment.
- Packaging performance testing must be completed. This includes manufacturing and sterilizing under worst-case conditions and subjecting the packaging system to simulated distribution testing.
- A stability study must be completed and is typically done with both accelerated and real-time aging studies.
- Both the performance testing and stability study require tests for seal integrity and seal strength as well as an evaluation of product protection.
Do I need to include an IFU (Instructions For Use) when testing?
What package design services does J-Pac offer?
J-Pac offers a turnkey ISO/FDA compliant medical device package design and validation process that can be integrated into your technical files.
- We start with documenting customer requirements for their medical device package, which includes usability issues and aseptic transfer requirements, as well as labeling preferences.
- Next, we document the packaging system requirements that consider storage and transportation conditions, cleanliness, bioburden, and expected environmental stresses and constraints. Sterility methods and material compatibility are also assessed at this time.
- Based on these inputs, we design both the medical device sterile barrier system that will prevent microbial contamination and the protective packaging that will protect both the product and the sterile barrier system during shipment.
- Next, we manufacture prototypes under worse-case manufacturing conditions and test the feasibility of these designs in our in-house lab to ensure a high probability they will pass simulated distribution testing.
- Once the customer approves the medical device packaging prototypes, we can test usability with our panel of surgical nurses to ensure we meet the requirements for usability.
- All of this medical device package design work will be conducted under an ISO 13485 quality system including requirements specifications, test protocols, validation plans, and test reports and these are provided to the customer for their technical files. We also manage all outside testing services.
