Materials Metric provides professional biocompatibility assessment services that help medical device manufacturers ensure patient safety, regulatory readiness, and faster market access.

Why Biocompatibility Testing Is Critical for Medical Devices

Biocompatibility testing evaluates whether a medical device or material causes any harmful biological response when in contact with human tissue, blood, or bodily fluids.

Without proper testing, devices may cause:

• Cytotoxic reactions (cell damage)

• Skin irritation or sensitization

• Inflammatory responses

• Systemic toxicity

• Blood compatibility issues

Regulatory authorities require biological evaluation data as part of medical device approval processes worldwide.

Standards That Govern Biocompatibility Testing

Global medical device compliance is largely guided by:

• ISO 10993 – International framework for biological evaluation of medical devices

• U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – U.S. regulatory authority requiring biocompatibility data

• European Medicines Agency – Regulatory oversight in the European region

Compliance with these standards ensures safer products and smoother regulatory approvals.
