Stability testing is of utmost importance for medical devices. However, while not medical devices stability testing is also important for pharmaceutical products as well. Considering how many different pharmaceutical products from different providers to treat a large number of conditions, hospitals have a large amount of pharmaceutical products that they need to store so they can treat their patients. Hospitals rely on the stability testing done that validates not only the storage but the shipping conditions needed to ensure the drug does not degrade or have its effectiveness impacted. I know that a certain amount of product is taken from every manufacturing batch for stability testing purposes, and companies would not just be taking money of their pocket for this stability testing if wasn't hugely important. Medical devices also need stability testing for their proper storage, and while many medical devices may not be as sensitive as a pharmaceutical products ensuring that a storage and shipping validation that ensures product effectiveness is vital. Stability is vital because products do not magically make their way from the manufacturing floor straight to where they are needed.
