Key guidance on how to use the ISO 10993 series of standards and successfully apply a risk management approach to the biological evaluation of medical devices.
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:
An introduction to medical devices
An introduction to biocompatibility
Biocompatibility vs biological safety
ISO 10993 history and development
ISO 10993 structure and content
ISO/TR 15499 and 10993/1 (2018)
Relationship between 10993 and 14971
Medical device categorisation for biological risk assessment
The move away from in vivo testing
Endpoints to be addressed in a biological risk assessment
Chemical characterisation vs chemical information
Physical characterisation
Guidance on technical aspects of specific biocompatibility tests
Extractables and leachables testing – when and why?
Risk assessment using E&L data
Medical Device Directive (MDD) safety requirements
Medical Device Regulation (MDR) safety requirements
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
The 510(K) process
FDA’s take on ISO 10993
Japanese requirements
