This document specifies the requirements and general principles governing the biological evaluation of medical devices within a risk management process according to ISO 14971. This document applies to the biological evaluation of medical devices that have direct contact or indirect contact with either: — a patient's body during intended use or reasonably foreseeable misuse; or — the body of other users who are not patients, if the medical device is intended for personal protection (e.g. medical gloves, surgical masks). Biological evaluation assesses the biological safety of the medical device by considering the biological risks associated with: — constituents of a medical device; and — tissue-device interactions (including physical effects). The biological evaluation specified in this document can address the biological safety of the medical device, considering the life cycle from design and development through initial use of the finished medical device to final decommissioning or withdrawal from use. The biological evaluation considers both the biological safety of the finished device in first use, and the significance of any changes to the medical device which can occur throughout the life cycle. However, the evaluation of risks related to environmental impacts of decommissioning of medical devices are not within the scope of this document. This document does not mandate re-testing of medical devices that are already on the market and have established and acceptable safety profiles (see REF Section_sec_6.6.2 \r \h 6.6.2 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B020000000800000012000000530065006300740069006F006E005F007300650063005F0036002E0036002E0032000000 ). This document can be useful to support clinical or usability evaluations of medical devices. For example, a biological evaluation is a pre-requisite for conducting a clinical trial. This means that principles outlined in this document can be applied to the evaluation of prototype or development stage devices, as well as to finished medical devices. Other parts of the ISO 10993 series cover specific aspects of biological evaluation, such as chemical characterization, biological testing, sample preparation, animal welfare and toxicological risk assessment. For some types of medical devices, specific requirements from other standards (outside the ISO 10993 series) can be considered with a justification for the approach taken if there are differences between the requirements of the ISO 10993 series and those provided in other standards. For example, the ISO 18562 series provides specific requirements for biological evaluation of breathing gas pathway medical devices and ISO 7405 provides specific requirements for biological evaluation of dental devices. The evaluation of risks related to infectious agents [e.g. bacteria, moulds, yeasts, viruses, transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) agents] is not within the scope of this document. NOTE 1 The evaluation of bacterial endotoxins is addressed by ISO 11737-3. NOTE 2 The evaluation of risks related to viruses, TSE agents and other pathogens originating from materials of animal origin is addressed by the ISO 22442 series.

This document addresses good clinical practice for the design, conduct, recording and reporting of clinical investigations carried out in
human subjects to assess the clinical performance or effectiveness and safety of medical devices.
For post-market clinical investigations, the principles set forth in this document are intended to be followed as far as relevant,
considering the nature of the clinical investigation (see AnnexI).
This document specifies general requirements intended to
- protect the rights, safety and well-being of human subjects,
- ensure the scientific conduct of the clinical investigation and the credibility of the clinical investigation results,
- define the responsibilities of the sponsor and principal investigator, and
- assist sponsors, investigators, ethics committees, regulatory authorities and other bodies involved in the conformity assessment of
medical devices.
NOTE1 Users of this document need to consider whether other standards and/or national requirements also apply to the
investigational device(s) under consideration or the clinical investigation. If differences in requirements exist, the most stringent apply.
NOTE2 For Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) demonstration of the analytical validity (the SaMD’s output is accurate for a given
input), and where appropriate, the scientific validity (the SaMD’s output is associated to the intended clinical condition/physiological
state), and clinical performance (the SaMD’s output yields a clinically meaningful association to the target use) of the SaMD, the
requirements of this document apply as far as relevant (see Reference[4]). Justifications for exemptions from this document can
consider the uniqueness of indirect contact between subjects and the SaMD.
This document does not apply to in vitro diagnostic medical devices. However, there can be situations, dependent on the device and
national or regional requirements, whereusers of this document might consider whether specific sections and/or requirements of this
document could be applicable.

This document defines good study practice for the planning, design, conduct, recording and reporting of clinical performance studies carried out to assess the clinical performance and safety of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices for regulatory purposes.
NOTE 1 The purpose of these studies is to assess the ability of an IVD medical device in the hands of the intended user, to yield results pertaining to a particular medical condition or physiological/pathological state, in the intended population.
The document is not intended to describe whether the technical specifications of the IVD medical device in question are adequately addressed by the clinical performance study.
This document identifies the principles that underpin clinical performance studies and specifies general requirements intended to
— ensure the conduct of the clinical performance study will lead to reliable and robust study results,
— define the responsibilities of the sponsor and principal investigator,
— assist sponsors, clinical research organization, investigators, ethics committees, regulatory authorities and other bodies involved in the conformity assessment of IVD medical devices, and
— protect the rights, safety, dignity and well-being of the subjects providing specimens for use in clinical performance studies.
Analytical performance studies are out of the scope of this document.
NOTE 2 When the collection of specimens specifically for the analytical performance study creates an additional collection risk for subjects, some of the elements of this document (particularly the annexes) can be useful for ensuring subject safety.
Clinical performance studies that are performed for reasons other than pre- and post-market regulatory purposes, such as for re-imbursement purposes, are out of the scope of this document.
NOTE 3 Some of the elements of this document can be useful for the design of such studies, including subject safety and data integrity.
This document does not include safety information for laboratory workers or other personnel collecting the study specimens.
NOTE 4 Such information is included in other publications[1][12][13].
NOTE 5 Users of this document can consider whether other standards and/or requirements also apply to the IVD medical device which is the subject of the clinical performance study, for instance, in the situation for which there is an IVD medical device and a medical device used in an integrated system (e.g. a lancet, an IVD test strip, and a glucose meter), aspects of both this document and ISO 14155 can be considered.

This document defines good study practice for the planning, design, conduct, recording and reporting of clinical performance studies carried out to assess the clinical performance and safety of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices for regulatory purposes.
NOTE 1 The purpose of these studies is to assess the ability of an IVD medical device in the hands of the intended user, to yield results pertaining to a particular medical condition or physiological/pathological state, in the intended population.
The document is not intended to describe whether the technical specifications of the IVD medical device in question are adequately addressed by the clinical performance study.
This document identifies the principles that underpin clinical performance studies and specifies general requirements intended to
— ensure the conduct of the clinical performance study will lead to reliable and robust study results,
— define the responsibilities of the sponsor and principal investigator,
— assist sponsors, clinical research organization, investigators, ethics committees, regulatory authorities and other bodies involved in the conformity assessment of IVD medical devices, and
— protect the rights, safety, dignity and well-being of the subjects providing specimens for use in clinical performance studies.
Analytical performance studies are out of the scope of this document.
NOTE 2 When the collection of specimens specifically for the analytical performance study creates an additional collection risk for subjects, some of the elements of this document (particularly the annexes) can be useful for ensuring subject safety.
Clinical performance studies that are performed for reasons other than pre- and post-market regulatory purposes, such as for re-imbursement purposes, are out of the scope of this document.
NOTE 3 Some of the elements of this document can be useful for the design of such studies, including subject safety and data integrity.
This document does not include safety information for laboratory workers or other personnel collecting the study specimens.
NOTE 4 Such information is included in other publications[1][12][13].
NOTE 5 Users of this document can consider whether other standards and/or requirements also apply to the IVD medical device which is the subject of the clinical performance study, for instance, in the situation for which there is an IVD medical device and a medical device used in an integrated system (e.g. a lancet, an IVD test strip, and a glucose meter), aspects of both this document and ISO 14155 can be considered.

This document specifies the process and requirements for the toxicological risk assessment of medical device constituents. The methods and criteria used to assess whether exposure to a constituent is without appreciable harm are also specified. The toxicological risk assessment can be part of the biological evaluation of the final product, as described in ISO 10993-1.
The process described in this document applies to chemical characterization information obtained in line with ISO 10993-18. When a toxicological risk assessment of either the compositional information or analytical chemistry data (e.g. extractable data or leachable data) are required to determine whether the toxicological risks related to the constituents are negligible or tolerable.
The process described in this document is not intended to apply to circumstances where the toxicological risk has been estimated by other means, such as:
— constituents, excluding cohort of concern or excluded chemicals, that are present in or extracted from a medical device at an amount representative of patient exposure below a relevant, toxicologically-based reporting threshold (see applicable requirements in ISO 10993-18:2020, Annex E and ISO/TS 21726);
— a new or changed medical device for which chemical or biological equivalence has been established with an existing biocompatible or clinically established medical device (see applicable requirements in ISO 10993-18:2020, Annex C).
The process described in this document is also not applicable to:
— medical device constituents that do not contact the body (e.g. in vitro diagnostics);
— biological risks associated with physical interactions of the medical device with the body (i.e. application of mechanical forces, energy or surface morphology, etc.), provided that the chemical exposure is not changed;
— active pharmaceutical ingredients of device-drug combination products or biologic components of device-biologic combination products as additional regulatory considerations can apply;
— exposure to a particular constituent that arises from sources other than the device, such as food, water or air.
