Biomaterials, Medical Devices, and Combination Products: Biocompatibility Testing and Safety Assessment

By Shayne Cox Gad and Samantha Gad-McDonald

This book provides a clear presentation of the global regulatory requirements and challenges in evaluating the biocompatibility and clinical safety of the materials used in producing medical devices as well as in the devices themselves. Starting with material characterization and selection, considerations of concerns arising from packaging and contact with production machinery, and extensive coverage of combination products, the book also provides the latest approaches to isolating, quantitating, identifying, and assessing the risk arising from chemical entities released from market-ready devices. Each aspect of device safety evaluation is reviewed in terms of the ISO, FDA, EU, and MHLW perspectives.
