LSO provides comprehensive medical device packaging and testing services, including ISO 11607 validation, accelerated aging, and distribution simulation to ensure product safety and market readiness.
Life Science Outsourcing (LSO) is an FDA-registered and ISO 13485-certified provider specializing in medical device packaging and testing. They offer end-to-end solutions designed to accelerate time-to-market and reduce costs for OEMs and startups. Key services include ISO 11607 packaging validation (Parts 1 & 2), accelerated aging studies (ASTM F1980), and distribution simulation testing (ISTA, ASTM D4169). LSO ensures sterile barrier systems are designed, sealed, tested, and proven to protect devices through their shelf life and open aseptically at the point of use. Their expertise extends to cleanroom assembly, kitting, sterilization (EtO, steam, gamma, ebeam), and supply chain management. LSO acts as a single-source partner, streamlining processes from initial planning to final reporting, ensuring compliance with global standards and audit-readiness.
About
**Who they are** Life Science Outsourcing, Inc. (LSO) provides comprehensive medical device packaging and testing services.
**Expertise & scope** * ISO 11607 validation, covering sterile barrier system design, sealing, testing, and shelf-life proof. * Expertise in Part 1 (materials and sterile barrier systems) and Part 2 (process validation, including IQ/OQ/PQ). * Distribution simulation testing to ensure packages survive real-world hazards. * Package integrity testing, including dye penetration and bubble leak tests. * Functional tests such as peel and burst strength testing. * Accelerated and real-time aging studies to support shelf-life claims. * Validation of forming, sealing, and assembly processes.
**Reputation / proof points** * Services align with ISO 11607 standards, which are current through Amd 1:2023 and updated for 2025.
Additional information
LSO's services are designed to ensure medical device packaging meets global standards for sterility and integrity throughout its lifecycle. They focus on providing audit-ready documentation for ISO 11607 compliance. Their testing capabilities include validating packaging materials, sterile barrier systems, and the processes used for forming, sealing, and assembly. This comprehensive approach helps manufacturers demonstrate that their sterile barrier systems protect the device until the point of use and can be opened aseptically. They also conduct distribution and aging studies to confirm package performance under various conditions.
Key Highlights
Specializes in ISO 11607 packaging validation for sterile medical devices.

“ISO 11607 defines how your sterile barrier system is designed, sealed, tested, and proven—from first article through shelf life.”
Provides validation for sterile barrier systems, including materials and process controls (IQ/OQ/PQ).

“Part 1 defines what “good” looks like for materials and sterile barrier systems... Part 2 proves you can make that performance happen consistently. That means validating your forming, sealing, and assembly with IQ, OQ, and PQ”
Offers distribution simulation testing to assess package survivability.
