Carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity testing of medical devices is quite rare because the requirement is limited to applications of new materials used in implanted devices and those with a permanent contact.
Before advancing to clinical trials, materials that are found to be genotoxic in mammalian cells must be evaluated for carcinogenicity in animals. Female animals should be used to test reproductive toxicity of intrauterine devices (IUDs) and other long-term contact devices that are expected to come into direct touch with reproductive tissues or the embryo/fetus. Reproductive toxicity testing may be required for energy-depositing devices (electromagnetic, ultrasonic, or ionic radiation) as well as resorbable or leachable materials and the equipment.
In this on-demand webinar, we will go through the standard and regulatory requirements for medical devices, as well as considerations for carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity.
Evaluation of carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity
Standards involved in testing and evaluation
Safety assessment and global regulatory requirements
Guidelines on the benefit-risk assessment
