This standard specifies the test methods for evaluating the local reaction of materials into living tissue at the level of naked eye and microscopic observation. This standard applies to the biological safety evaluation of test materials implanted in a certain part of the living body. Implants are not subjected to mechanical or functional loads. The evaluation of local reaction is based on the tissue reaction caused by the test sample, compared with the tissue reaction caused by the materials used in medical devices that have been clinically confirmed to be acceptable, and a judgment is made. The post-implantation local reaction test method is suitable for evaluating subchronic reactions (short-term, within 12 weeks), or chronic reactions (long-term, more than 12 weeks).
