Biocompatibility Testing: What You Need to Know

Published Date: June 6, 2024

When it comes to biocompatibility testing on medical devices, there are many aspects that have to be considered not only in determining the applicable tests, but the condition of the samples and how they are prepared for testing. Failure to provide clinically representative samples or sufficient instructions for sample preparation may lead to inaccurate results or test failures that otherwise may have been avoided. In such cases the option would be to perform a retest, which is both costly and time-consuming. This webinar will help you better partner with your laboratory to ensure successful completion of your biocompatibility testing.

In this webinar, we will specifically address:

  • Preparing and sending samples for best results.
  • How to prevent issues in testing before they happen.
  • How to address issues with testing if they happen.
  • When should additional testing be pursued.
