Summary: Medical devices encompass a wide range of devices and are susceptible to damage from impacts, vibrations, and temperature excursions. While lab testing is vital to ensure that packaging is robust, so, too, is real-world testing. A data-monitoring program for medical equipment shipments provides solid evidence of the conditions the devices encounter, enabling risks to be reduced.
