What is Biocompatibility Testing For Medical Devices?

An integral part of biological risk assessment, biocompatibility testing assesses the compatibility of medical devices with a biological system. it studies the interaction between the device and the various types of living tissues and cells that are exposed to the device when it comes into contact with patients.


The goal for all medical device manufacturers is to provide maximised benefits to patients while minimising levels of biological risks. This requires them to comply with stringent biocompatibility testing requirements set by international regulatory bodies to ensure that their devices are medically safe to use before being made available in the market.


Which Products Require Biocompatibility Testing?

Medical equipment products that have direct contact with the human body (dedicated for surgery and other medical products that indirectly contact the human body) such as scalpels, gauze, masks, protective clothing, dental instruments, etc.

What is Biocompatibility Testing For Medical Devices?

Ensure Patient Safety With Biocompatibility Testing:

In the medical field, practitioners utilise a range of devices to address patient health, from diagnosis to surgery. When the patient comes into contact with a medical device or material, it should fulfil its intended function without inflicting any harm to the patient. Therefore, all medical devices need to undergo a thorough biological risk assessment to protect the patient from any toxic, physiological, immunogenic or mutagenic effects from the device. This can be achieved with biocompatibility testing.
