SIQ: Online-Workshop: Biocompatibility of Medical Devices

This workshop will be in English and is part of our new academy cooperation with the Slowenian notified body SIQ!

About the training

Biocompatibility of medical devices is an important characteristic of safe and compliant medical devices. The main steps for ensuring biocompatibility are specified in ISO 10993-1 standard.

Attendees will participate in a workshop on the preparation of medical device biological evaluation reports covering chemical characterization of materials, documentation preparation, and justification of testing performance or its omission (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, systemic toxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity). All these issues will be discussed through practical examples.

The workshop will cover the theoretical basics and requirements through practical examples and an exchange of experiences. Attendees may send their questions at registration prior to the workshop.
