Preparing for the revised biological safety requirements

The revised ISO 10993-1:2025 introduces important changes to biological safety evaluations for medical devices. Manufacturers are now expected to take a more risk-based approach, consider foreseeable misuse and lifecycle factors earlier, and strengthen material characterisation within the evaluation process.

In this on-demand webinar, TÜV SÜD expert Dr. Katharina Weidmann will explain the key updates, highlight the differences from the previous edition, and share practical guidance on what they mean for EU MDR compliance.
