The Toxicological Risk Assessment and Biological Evaluation documentation will undergo significant modifications with the release of the much awaited revisions in this area. Clin-r+ highlights the changes made in 2023 to toxicology and biological evaluation that manufacturers need to be aware of, and what it means for the documentation required to be compliant.
ISO standards help medical device manufacturers and the medical industry comply with the evolving ‘State of the Art’, international best practices, streamline processes, and improve patient safety and satisfaction. These standards improve risk management and help businesses fulfil legal and industry standards. There are numerous ISO standards in place, and Clin-r+ has constructed this paper to give you an overview of the most common standards for the MedTech industry.
Clin-r+ Ltd can assist medical device manufacturers with gap assessments and the transition to MDR. An EU MDR Readiness checklist can assist in efficient planning. It should be a practical tool that ensures you are compliant with the regulations.
ISO 18562, has become the industry standard for testing the biocompatibility of breathing components. It has four parts: general principles, evaluation of particle emission, evaluation of volatile gas emission, and evaluation of liquid bourn leachables in condensate. Clin-r+ provides an in-depth breakdown of these four components of the standard.
Biocompatibility and how to apply extractables and leachables to medical devices. ISO 10993 now requires knowledge of any chemicals released by a device while it is in use. This is now included in the testing matrix for each device category. Although materials characterisation isn’t the only way to get this information, it’s the most likely way to discover unexpected materials.
What does an MDR compliant design and development process look like? Clin-r+ summarises this and lists additional design records that manufacturers must create during the design development phases when managing the design of a medical device.
