Our Biological Evaluation Plan and Report services support medical device manufacturers in demonstrating biological safety in line with ISO 10993 and regulatory expectations. Patient Guard helps you prepare, review, and strengthen your biological evaluation documentation for CE marking, UKCA marking, and global regulatory submissions.
Medical device manufacturers must demonstrate that their devices are biologically safe for their intended use, patient contact type, and duration of contact.
A Biological Evaluation Plan (BEP) and Biological Evaluation Report (BER) are key documents used to justify biological safety and determine whether additional biocompatibility testing is required.
Patient Guard provides expert Biological Evaluation Plan and Report services for medical device manufacturers, supporting compliance with ISO 10993-1 and applicable regulatory requirements.
We help manufacturers assess material characterisation, device contact, existing evidence, toxicological risks, and biological endpoints to determine a compliant biological evaluation strategy.
Whether you are preparing a new biological evaluation, updating legacy documentation, or responding to Notified Body feedback, we provide a structured and compliant approach.
Since 2017, we have supported medical device manufacturers with technical documentation and regulatory compliance for over 9 years.
We support ambitious start-ups, scaling SMEs, and global manufacturers with comprehensive medical device compliance and market access.
Our team understands biological evaluation requirements and how they fit into EU MDR, UK MDR, and global regulatory submissions.
We help you avoid unnecessary, expensive testing by utilising a highly structured, evidence-based biological evaluation strategy.
We prepare or review complete Biological Evaluation Plans that clearly define the strategy, scope, and target endpoints for your device.
We draft or review Biological Evaluation Reports that thoroughly document the final safety assessments and justify your conclusions.
We assess your existing biological safety documentation directly against ISO 10993-1 requirements to identify non-compliance.
We isolate relevant biological endpoints based precisely on your device type, the nature of body contact, and the total contact duration.
Our experts review available raw material, manufacturing data, and chemical characterisation profiles to safely support safety conclusions.
We clarify whether additional lab testing is needed and provide defensible scientific justification where testing is unnecessary.
Biological evaluation is required to demonstrate that a medical device is safe for its intended use and does not present unacceptable biological risks.
A compliant biological evaluation typically considers:
The biological evaluation should be risk-based, scientifically justified, and maintained throughout the device lifecycle.
We assess your device, intended use, patient contact type, and current documentation status.
We review existing material data, test reports, risk management files, and technical documentation.
We define the biological evaluation strategy and applicable biological endpoints.
We prepare or update the report, documenting evidence, testing, gaps, and conclusions.
We support final checks, updates, and responses to auditor or Notified Body feedback.
We support biological evaluation documentation for a wide range of medical devices, including:

A Biological Evaluation Plan defines the strategy for assessing the biological safety of a medical device, including applicable biological endpoints and required evidence.
A Biological Evaluation Report documents the results of the biological evaluation and provides the justification that the device is biologically safe for its intended use.
Biological evaluation is generally required for medical devices with direct or indirect patient contact. The depth of evaluation depends on the device type, materials, contact duration, and intended use.
Not always. Testing may not be required where sufficient existing evidence, material data, chemical characterisation, and scientific justification are available.
Yes, we can review, update, and remediate existing biological evaluation documentation to align with ISO 10993 and regulatory expectations.
