Biocompatibility as a Critical Design Input

For any medical device contacting a patient, a biocompatibility evaluation is required before the device can be cleared for the market. This evaluation is usually the last step in device development and is performed per ISO 10993-1. While biocompatibility should be assessed using the final version of the device, it should not be an afterthought; rather, biocompatibility should be an important consideration during the design process. This webinar provides an overview of biocompatibility and the various aspects of a biological evaluation.
