Degradation products shall be taken into account for their relevance to the overall biological evaluation of the medical device. Materials used for medical devices construction can lead to degradation products when exposed to biological environment or external mechanical wear. These degradation products can be either reactive or stable.
Not all medical devices require degradation profile evaluation. The degradation profile is evaluated in case there is the potential that degradation appears under conditions such as manufacturing process, sterilization, transportation, storage, clinical use.
In this on-demand webinar, we will discuss about the considerations, standards and reporting of degradation products for medical devices.
Introduction to degradation
Impact of degradation in Biocompatibility of the devices
ISO Standard Briefing Degradation
