Our sourcing workflow (life-sciences edition)

  2. Shortlist – plant capability matrix (licenses, cleanroom classes, sterilization, lab scope).
  3. Samples/Exhibit – lab batches or engineering builds; method validation & verification plan.
  4. Qualification – process validation, shelf-life/stability, sterilization validation, packaging validation; golden standard lock.
  5. Production & QC – in-process & release testing, retain samples, DHR/BMR packs.
  6. Ship – cold-chain and sterile-pack controls, destination paperwork, post-market support plan.
Risk controls we enforce
  • Data integrity (ALCOA+), audit trails, restricted access; periodic internal audits.
  • Sterility & bioburden gates before release; endotoxin limits for invasive use devices.
  • Extractables/leachables and materials biocompatibility (ISO 10993) for device contact parts.
  • UDI/label governance with version control & barcodes; IFU readability & language checks.
  • Supplier qualification for critical RMs (stoppers, films, tubing, reagents) with CoA/CoC.
  • Change control & regulatory impact assessment before any spec/process shift.
Documentation you receive
  • DMF/ASMF references (where available), CoA & full BMR/BPR/DHR copies, validation reports (IQ/OQ/PQ, sterilization, cleaning, packaging), stability data, method validation, biocompatibility & E&L (where applicable), UDI/label proofs, calibration & environmental logs, loading supervision report, insurance & origin docs.

  • Biocompatibility/E&L? Managed through ISO 10993 panel and USP/E&L studies via accredited labs.
  • Can I mix SKUs in one shipment? Yes—plant policy permitting; we also consolidate cross-factory under unified QC.
  • IP protection? NDA, controlled access, segregated batch records and material custody.
