Biocompatibility Across the Medical Device Lifecycle
In this video, we explore the evolving role of biocompatibility testing throughout the lifecycle of medical devices, from development and regulatory approval to post-market oversight.
You’ll learn how biocompatibility informs device risk assessment, what changes are permissible in a marketed device, and how recent ISO 10993 updates affect post-market products.
The session also provides practical strategies for maintaining compliance across the entire product lifecycle, ensuring safety, performance, and regulatory alignment.
