In healthcare, ensuring the safety and efficacy of medical devices is paramount. Patients rely on these devices for diagnosis, treatment, and improved quality of life. Biological evaluation plays a pivotal role in determining the biological safety of these devices. Governed by international standards, most notably the ISO 10993 series, biological evaluation involves a thorough assessment of a device’s interaction with living tissues. This blog delves into the importance of biological evaluation, highlighting the critical biological endpoints outlined in ISO 10993, the significance of a robust biological evaluation plan, and the crucial role of qualified experts in this process.

The CE marking of medical devices and in vitro diagnostic devices (IVDs) is a requirement of EU regulations (EU 2017/745 for medical devices and EU 2017/746 for IVDs) to lawfully place medical devices on the EU market. Manufacturers must affix the CE mark on the medical device or IVD itself and on the primary packaging (or just on the packaging if affixing to the device itself it not possible). The CE mark should also be placed on any instructions for use and any labelling. The use of the CE mark identifies that a medical device or IVD conforms to EU regulatory requirements and is a symbol that a device meets safety standards.
