EN ISO 10993-3:2014 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 3: Tests for genotoxicity, carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity (ISO 10993-3:2014)
This part of ISO 10993 specifies specific strategies for risk assessment, selection of hazard detection test methods and risk management, taking into account the possibility of the following potential irreversible biological effects that may occur as a result of exposure to medical devices: genotoxicity; carcinogenicity; Reproductive and developmental toxicity. This part of ISO 10993 is applicable once the need to test a medical device for potential genotoxicity, carcinogenicity or reproductive toxicity has been determined. NOTE Guidance on the selection of tests is provided in ISO 10993-1.
