About the event
This talk:
ISO 10993‑1 is the standard that outlines the framework for the biological evaluation of medical devices. It establishes the regulatory requirements for assessing potential risks arising from a device’s materials, intended use, and patient contact. The November 2025 revision introduces several updates to key biocompatibility concepts while maintaining the standard’s fundamental role in supporting biological evaluation within a risk‑management framework. This presentation will outline the most significant changes to ISO 10993-1 and examine how they affect the design of biological assessment strategies. Key topics include the enhanced alignment with ISO 14971 regarding risk management principles, the updated considerations for biological effects, and the strengthened emphasis on lifecycle based evaluation.
