Secure Warehousing and Logistics for Medical Devices

Storing and transporting medical devices is a challenge above and beyond typical logistics. Not only do these products need to be handled with extreme care to prevent damage that could impact patient health, but the processes warehouses and shippers use also are subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny. Manufacturers in search of a medical logistics provider need a partner with the expertise to support timely delivery, proper storage, strict contamination control, and full regulatory compliance.

Murphy Logistics provides medical device logistics services that address these storage, handling, and regulatory requirements. We provide third-party logistics services for a range of healthcare manufacturers and distributors. With clean and secure facilities totaling more than 5 million square feet of public and contract warehouse space in Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa, and New York, this network allows us to support both ongoing programs and project-based needs for medical device manufacturers and distributors.

Controlled and Secure Medical Device Warehousing

We offer clean, secure warehousing for medical devices, including temperature-controlled storage when required for sensitive products. Our warehouses follow FDA/USDA and HACCP requirements, and many facilities are SQF Level 2 certified, supporting sanitary handling, traceability, and audit readiness across regulated supply chains.

Murphy Logistics follows documented practices to keep our facilities aligned with medical device storage and handling requirements. These include continuous monitoring, comprehensive sanitation procedures, and restricted access protocols, all designed to maintain the integrity of devices and assembly components at every point along the supply chain. We offer storage configurations for durable equipment, packaged devices, and components, including bulk, racked, and secure storage zones. In addition, we perform value-added services such as kitting, assembly, packaging, and order fulfillment to support downstream distribution.

Medical Device Transportation and Distribution Services

With our asset-based fleet of trucks and national brokerage network, Murphy Logistics coordinates medical equipment deliveries across multiple modes and lanes. We have the flexibility to adapt our modes of transit to meet the highly regulated requirements of the medical device industry, whether shipments go out via full truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), or expedited transport.

We structure our transportation processes around visibility and compliance. Our chain-of-custody processes, documentation, and proactive communication keep customers updated on their shipments and confident in proper handling throughout transit. This includes temperature monitoring and seal verification when required to protect sensitive and precision-calibrated devices. With transportation integrated into our warehousing operations, we manage transfers between storage and delivery on coordinated schedules.

Regulatory Compliance and Quality Assurance in Medical Device Logistics

We have documented standard operating procedures as well as the Camelot Warehouse Management System to provide customers with real-time visibility, lot control, and traceable records that support their needs.

For audits, our secure digital documentation, barcode scanning, and access control support accurate records and clear traceability. We also conduct regular internal and third-party inspections to uphold regulatory standards and operational consistency. We have a long history handling sensitive healthcare products and components and maintain quality standards that align with medical device supply chain requirements.
