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.
