Whether you need ambient storage or specialized cold chains, our nationwide network delivers safe, compliant warehousing with real‑time monitoring and robust security.
- FDA‑compliant storage: Under U.S. regulations, drug products must be stored under appropriate conditions of temperature, humidity and light to preserve identity and potency. Our facilities meet these standards.
- Precise temperature & humidity control: WHO guidance recommends thermostatic temperature control systems with sensors accurate to ±0.5 °C and continuous monitoring in temperature‑controlled rooms. We use the same level of control across our cold rooms, freezer rooms and refrigerated areas. Humidity is regulated for products requiring “store in a dry place” conditions.
- Nationwide coverage: Access flexible storage in strategic locations across the U.S. Our platform connects you with the right warehouse for pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices.

A Guide to FDA Regulations for Storing Medical & Healthcare Products
Medical and healthcare products—including pharmaceuticals, surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, and sterile supplies—are tightly regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Businesses, warehouses, and logistics providers must adhere to strict guidelines for storage, handling, packaging, and transportation to ensure compliance and patient safety.
While some products like vitamins, cosmetics, and over-the-counter supplements may have less stringent requirements, FDA-regulated drugs, biologics, medical devices, and diagnostic tools often demand specialized storage conditions, such as:
- Precise temperature control (e.g., refrigerated or cryogenic storage)
- Sterility maintenance (critical for surgical tools and implants)
- Secure labeling & tracking (to prevent tampering or counterfeiting)
- Chain-of-custody documentation (for controlled substances and high-risk devices)
Healthcare institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and research facilities must verify product-specific FDA requirements, as non-compliance can lead to recalls, fines, or legal consequences. Partnering with an FDA-compliant warehousing provider ensures proper handling and reduces regulatory risks.
Essential Warehouse Preparedness for Safe Medical Product Storage
When it comes to warehousing medical products, preparedness is key to ensuring compliance, safety, and product integrity. Medical products, including pharmaceuticals and medical devices, require specialized handling and storage. To meet regulatory standards and safeguard product quality, warehouses must be equipped with the necessary infrastructure, including temperature-controlled environments, security systems, and robust inventory management systems.
A well-prepared warehouse for medical products should have:
- Temperature and Humidity Control: Essential for storing temperature-sensitive items like vaccines, biologics, and certain pharmaceuticals.
- Security Measures: Surveillance cameras, restricted access, and secure storage areas to prevent theft or tampering.
- Compliance with Regulations: Adherence to FDA, GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), and other health and safety guidelines.
- Cleanliness and Sterility: Maintaining cleanliness to prevent contamination of sensitive medical products.
- Accurate Inventory Tracking: Advanced systems for real-time tracking and traceability of products to ensure proper handling and shipping.
