Biocompatibility of Raw Materials – What Data Should Your Supplier Provide?
ACCESS WEBINAR ON-DEMAND
About the webinar
Gathering physical and chemical information on the medical device and its components is an essential first step required for performing material characterization and biological evaluation of the product.
Manufacturers are expected to pay attention to the selection of materials to be used in the medical manufacturing process. Collecting all necessary information on constituent chemicals and possible residual process aids or additives used in the manufacture might be challenging as multiple regulatory documents should be considered.
During our free live webinar ‘Biocompatibility of Raw Materials – What Data Should Your Supplier Provide?’ our expert will guide you through this process and will cover the following topics:
- Raw materials testing requirements according to MDR and ISO 10993
- Medical grade plastic: definitions and regulatory specifics
- Communication with your supplier: challenges and tips
Using real-life examples, our experts will teach you how to read data sheets provided by suppliers and what aspects you should focus on.
At the end of the webinar, there is going to be a ‘Q&A’-Session, where you would be able to discuss all open questions.
