Regulatory-Compliant Medical Device Packaging Design & Prototyping

Rehabilitation Engineering Lab

Design and prototype a regulatory-compliant, brand-aligned packaging solution for a medical device. The work includes translating needs into packaging requirements, cross-checking existing box label content against applicable regulatory documentation and standards in collaboration with the QMS (e.g., MDR/ISO), iterating visual/branding design, and building physical mock-ups (including some 3D printing). Material selection and pricing/supplier comparisons may be performed to ensure the solution is scalable and manufacturable.

Keywords

Medical device packaging; Labeling compliance; EU MDR; ISO standards; QMS; Prototyping; 3D printing; Branding & graphic design; Material selection; Cost comparison; Manufacturability; Documentation
