DDL's Scott Levy will be Speaking on "Distribution Simulation Testing" at MD&M Minneapolis
MD&M Minneapolis starts this week and our own Scott Levy will be kicking off the conference with a presentation on “Distribution Simulation Testing.”
Distribution Simulation is a uniform way of evaluating shipping units through the use of laboratory equipment that subjects the packaging system to specific hazards that may occur within the anticipated distribution environment. Understanding the methodologies behind the processes is vital for medical device manufacturers to get their product to market.

Scott’s presentation will focus on, “Distribution Simulation Testing”, outlining key activities designed to educate those in the medical device package testing industry on the importance of distribution simulation and the current industry trends.
- An explanation of the most common methodologies being utilized by medical device manufacturers including ASTM and ISTA procedures.
- An Analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of certain methodologies and valid alternative solutions.
- Detailed steps that need to be considered when designing your shipper for distribution simulation and a review of the problematic scenarios that may arise during the process.
If you will be in Minneapolis this week for the show, come check out Scott’s presentation and make sure to stop by our booth to say hi.
