ISO 10993-5 Mechanical Effects on Cytotoxicity Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction to ISO 10993-5

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published a series of standards related to the biological evaluation of medical devices, known as ISO 10993. One of these standards is ISO 10993-5:1999(E), which addresses the mechanical effects on cytotoxicity.

What is ISO 10993-5?

ISO 10993-5 provides guidelines for evaluating the cytotoxic potential of materials used in medical devices, specifically under mechanical stress conditions. This standard assesses whether a materials contact with cells causes cell damage or death due to mechanical forces.

Standard Development and Evolution

The development and evolution of ISO 10993-5 involve input from various stakeholders, including industry experts, regulatory agencies, and testing laboratories. Standardization organizations like the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) play a crucial role in maintaining and updating standards.

Relevant Standards and Regulations

International Standards:

  • ISO 10993: Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 5: Tests for cytotoxicity in vitro

  • ASTM F748: Standard Practice for Selecting Generic Biological Test Methods for Materials and Devices

    • National Standards:

  • EN ISO 10993-5: Biologische Bewertung von medizinischen Produkten - Teil 5: In-vitro-Zytotoxizitätsprüfungen

  • TSE EN ISO 10993-5

    • Compliance Requirements for Different Industries

    Medical Device Manufacturers:

  • Comply with national and international regulations (e.g., FDA, EU MDR)

  • Conduct biological evaluations according to ISO 10993 series

  • Document test results and materials used in device development

    • Regulatory Agencies:

  • Enforce compliance with standard requirements for medical devices

  • Review documentation of test results and materials used

  • Verify conformity with applicable standards (e.g., FDA, EU MDR)

    • Industry-Specific Examples and Case Studies

    Case Study 1:

    A company develops a new orthopedic implant made from titanium alloy. They need to conduct cytotoxicity testing according to ISO 10993-5 to ensure their products safety.

    Result:

    The test results show that the titanium alloy does not exhibit significant cytotoxic effects under mechanical stress conditions, meeting the requirements of ISO 10993-5.

    Conclusion:

    ISO 10993-5 is a crucial standard for evaluating the mechanical effects on cytotoxicity in medical devices. Its adoption ensures the safety and reliability of these products by assessing their potential to cause cell damage or death due to mechanical forces.
