Hospital-grade chain of custody — your patients are not waiting on a missing PDF
Most ocean and air forwarders treat medical device and biologic freight as another high-value cargo class. Temperature logs are produced after the fact, FDA admissibility is checked at port, and chain-of-custody signatures are scattered across email and spreadsheets.
Gateway runs hospital-grade discipline. Every reefer ships with IoT temperature, humidity, and door-event loggers streaming live to the Gateway dashboard. Every TSA-certified handler signature is captured. Every FDA 510(k) and Pre-Market admissibility check is run before the vessel sails or the flight takes off.
When QA pulls the audit, the records are clean. When a cardiac device needs to be implanted in 36 hours, the freight is on the table. When a clinical trial site needs investigational product on Monday, it lands Friday — not next week.
Connect your stack — Gateway integrates
Plug Gateway into the systems your hospital, manufacturer, or trial sponsor already runs on. POs, lot codes, FDA filings, and shipment milestones stay in sync.
The difference on your freight
Hospital-grade, not marketing-grade
Every temperature reading logged, every driver vetted, every chain-of-custody signature archived.
FDA does not hold your patients
Pre-import admissibility checks catch registration and labeling issues before the vessel leaves origin.
Emergency is standard
Same-day air charter, named-flight options, and 24/7 ops desk for device and biologic emergencies.
