  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.

Micro-FAQ

  • Can you support CE/FDA filings? We provide tech files, test reports, UDI/labels and liaise with labs; legal manufacturer/agent arrangements as per your strategy.
  • Do you do sterile only? We handle both sterile and non-sterile; sterilization via EtO/Gamma/Steam with routine dose/aeration records.
  • 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.
