English term or phrase: "equipping"
I am looking for an adequate technical word for "equipping" blood glucose meters ( medical devices!) with warranty declaration, test strips etc. prior to delivery to the end customer. What's the proper EN word in the pharmaceutical field for it? Its not really packaging, I think, it's also not labeling, and I don't wanna say equipping.

Help please, it's in the title, it must be right.

"Instructions for use, labeling and .... of self-monitoring blood glucose meters."

Thanks again!

disagree  Tony M: But it really sounds silly to say outfitting about a glucometer; the word is much too hifalutin for what Asker is describing here.
