ISO-10993(Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices), a standard for evaluating the biocompatibility of a medical device or its components. Depending on the nature type and duration of body contact of a medical device, tests for some or all of the following effects may be recommended:
- (ISO 10993-1) - Risk management process
- (ISO 10993-2) - Animal welfare requirements
- (ISO 10993-3) - Tests for genotoxicity,carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity
- (ISO 10993-4) - Test for medical devices that interact with blood,Hemocompatibility
- (ISO 10993-5) - Test for in vitro Cytotoxicity
- (ISO 10993-6) - Tests for evaluating the local effects of implant material on living tissue
- (ISO 10993-7) - Ethylene oxide sterilization residuals
- (ISO 10993-8) - For biological tests selection and qualification of reference materials
