ISO 10993-18: Medical Device Chemical Characterization and Extractables/Leachables Testing
Ensuring the biocompatibility of materials used in medical devices is critical for patient safety and regulatory compliance. Our ISO 10993-18 services focus on comprehensive chemical characterization and extractables/leachables (E&L) testing, which are essential components in assessing the safety of medical device materials.
Importance of Chemical Characterization and E&L Testing
Understanding the chemical composition of materials and their potential to release harmful substances into the body is vital for several reasons:
- Patient Safety: Identifying and quantifying extractables and leachables helps prevent adverse reactions in patients.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meeting ISO 10993-18 requirements is crucial for obtaining necessary certifications and market access.
- Material Selection: Informed choices about materials enhance the design and performance of medical devices.
- Risk Management: Comprehensive testing contributes to better risk assessment and management strategies.
