RQM+ Live! #45 — What’s new in the world of biocompatibility for medical devices?

Generating evidence of biocompatibility continues to be a significant challenge to regulatory submission success and product-to-market timelines.  And global requirements and interpretations continue to evolve, further increasing the challenge.  In this show, we will discuss the changes to standards in recent years, what’s on the horizon for 2022, and answers to common questions we receive like the following:

• Is the biocompatibility approach different for US and EU? 
• When should you consider a chemical characterization approach?
• How do you use exemptions for intact skin devices made of common materials (US)?
• What’s the best process for managing changes to material or manufacturing processes?
• What can you change and still claim equivalence?
• What new developments have there been in 2021?
