Biocompatibility Evaluation using ISO 10993
A Risk management model for efficient testing programs
The 2009 revision of ISO 10993 introduced a risk
management model which provides a rigorous approach to
biocompatibility evaluation, The old “tick list” approach
was replaced with a framework which emphasises
materials characterisation and targeting testing on the key
biological risks, avoiding unnecessary testing. This can cut
months from development programs and regulatory
approvals and save substantial costs.
