The ISO 10993 series of standards covering biological evaluation of medical devices is well established and regulatory authorities worldwide expect compliance. In Europe compliance with the standards will be the easiest way to meet the relevant essential product safety requirements of the Medical Device Regulation. Understanding a risk management approach to biological evaluation is essential.
This seminar will provide key guidance on how to use the standards and successfully apply a risk management approach to the biological evaluation of medical devices. There will be plenty of time for interactive discussion with experts in this field.
This seminar will be of importance to those in the medical device industry from the following departments:
General principles of biological risk management
Interactive session: Hazardous situations
Reviewing existing data
Materials characterisation
Interactive session: Evaluating chemical data
Quantitative toxicological risk assessment (QTRA)
Biological testing
Interactive session: Gap analysis
Risk assessment and control
Interactive session: Risk reduction
Risk review
Interactive session: Risk review
Q & A discussion
