ISO 10993

The ISO 10993 set entails a series of standards for evaluating the biocompatibility of medical devices. These documents were preceded by the Tripartite agreement and is a part of the international harmonisation of the safe use evaluation of medical devices.[1]

ISO 10993-1:2009 & FDA endpoints for consideration

The following table provides a framework for the development of a biocompatibility evaluation. Different biological endpoints may require evaluation for particular medical devices, including either additional or fewer endpoints than indicated. If it is unclear in which category a device falls, consulting device-specific guidances or contacting the appropriate FDA review division for more information is possible.

Medical device categorization by Biological Effect

(≤24 h)

B-prolonged

(>24 h to 30 d)
