This part of GB/T 16886 describes the qualitative and quantitative framework for material identification and its chemical composition. The resulting chemical characterization information can be used in some important applications, such as: - As part of the overall biosafety evaluation of medical devices (ISO 10993 -1 and ISO 14971). - By measuring the level of leachable substances in medical devices, to evaluate whether they comply with the allowable limits of the substances based on the health risk assessment (ISO 10993-17). —Determine the equivalence between the proposed material and the clinically established material. - Determine the equivalence of the final device to the prototype device, and check the relevance of the prototype device data used to support the evaluation of the final device. — Screening of new materials suitable for the intended clinical application of medical devices. This part of GB/T 16886 does not involve the characterization and quantification of degradation products. See ISO 10993-9, ISO 10993-13, ISO 10993-14 and ISO 10993-15 for content in this regard. GB/T 16886 applies to materials or devices that come into direct or indirect contact with the human body. (See 4.2.1 of ISO 10993-1:2003) This part of GB/T 16886 is expected to apply to material suppliers and medical device manufacturers when conducting biological safety evaluation.
