Non-conformities such as missing symbols, inconsistent IFUs, and incorrect packaging text can lead to delays and additional clarifications from regulatory authorities. Elexes reviews medical device packaging content to identify regulatory gaps before submission, market launch, or commercialization.
Important Boundary Statement
This service focuses on medical device packaging content compliance, including packaging text, symbols, UDI, IFU alignment, warnings, and regulatory wording.
It does not include sterile barrier validation, ISO 11607 packaging testing, transportation testing, or shipping package validation.
Packaging content is one of the most common causes of avoidable regulatory questions.
Most manufacturers create final versions of their package designs without conducting an organized regulatory review.
This often results in:
Missing regulatory symbols
⦿ IFU content that conflicts with packaging information
⦿ Compliance issues particular to the market
⦿ Incorrect UDI or traceability information
⦿ Packaging text that does not match approved labeling
The real issue is simple:
Packaging content is often finalized without a structured regulatory review.
A packaging compliance review helps identify issues before they become submission deficiencies, launch delays, or audit observations.
This service well suited for:
⦿ Medical device manufacturers preparing for regulatory submissions
⦿ Regulatory Affairs teams responsible for labeling oversight
⦿ Companies with plans to launch new medical devices
⦿ Packaging and artwork approval teams
⦿ Manufacturers expanding products into new geographies
⦿ Companies looking for additional assurance prior to commercialization.
To avoid confusion, this service does not include:
⦿ Packaging design or creative artwork development
⦿ Full regulatory submission preparation
⦿ Translation services
⦿ Sterile barrier validation
⦿ ISO 11607 packaging testing
⦿ Transit or shipping package validation
⦿ Packaging engineering validation studies
⦿ A one-time checklist review without detailed regulatory analysis
Packaging will be assessed during the submission process, audits, and inspections.
Non-compliant packaging content can create submission delays, audit findings, launch issues, and patient-safety concerns.
