ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

DAY 1 – Big Changes in Medical Device Biocompatibility: Updates Coming to ISO 10993-1

Published Date: August 25, 2025

This three-day webinar series explores major changes coming to medical device biocompatibility standards.

Day 1 covers critical updates to ISO 10993-1, including a redefinition of device categorization and revised testing requirements.

Day 2 covers updates to USP Class VI testing and how it will impact medical device materials.

Day 3 offers guidance on adapting to these updates for existing products and in-process submissions, emphasizing proactive risk assessment, global regulatory nuances, and the importance of documentation and qualified personnel.

Day 1: 

Significant updates are coming to ISO 10993-1, the cornerstone standard for the biological evaluation of medical devices. This webinar will provide an in-depth look at the anticipated revisions and their significance for manufacturing and regulatory teams. Key changes include a reimagining of how device categorization is approached, rendering the familiar Table A.1 obsolete. The updated standard introduces revised testing requirements — some tests will be newly required, others removed — altering how biocompatibility is assessed.

In this presentation you will:

  • Understand the major revisions coming to ISO 10993-1
  • Learn to navigate device categorization
  • Discern how testing changes will impact your current biocompatibility strategy
