Title: ISO 10993-1:2025: What’s Next?
After years of discussion, the major revision of ISO 10993-1, which prescribes the biological evaluation process for medical devices, has been published. The rewrite of the standard includes changes to contact type and duration categorization, as well as relevant biological effects, and includes additional considerations for the lifetime of the device. Perhaps the most prominent change is the restructuring of the standard and its principles to align with the ISO 14971 risk management process. Now that the standard is published, this talk will discuss next steps in terms of anticipated regulatory agency adoption, future revisions, and immediate changes needed to the biological evaluation process.
