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, toxicologicallybased
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.

This document specifies a framework for the identification, and if necessary, quantification of
constituents of a medical device, allowing the identification of biological hazards and the estimation
and control of biological risks from material constituents, using a generally stepwise approach to the
chemical characterization which can include one or more of the following:
— the identification of its materials of construction (medical device configuration);
— the characterization of the materials of construction via the identification and quantification of
their chemical constituents (material composition);
— the characterization of the medical device for chemical substances that were introduced during
manufacturing (e.g. mould release agents, process contaminants, sterilization residues);
— the estimation (using laboratory extraction conditions) of the potential of the medical device,
or its materials of construction, to release chemical substances under clinical use conditions
(extractables);
— the measurement of chemical substances released from a medical device under its clinical conditions
of use (leachables).
This document can also be used for chemical characterization (e.g. the identification and/or
quantification) of degradation products. Information on other aspects of degradation assessment are
covered in ISO 10993-9, ISO 10993-13, ISO 10993-14 and ISO 10993-15.
The ISO 10993 series is applicable when the material or medical device has direct or indirect body
contact (see ISO 10993-1 for categorization by nature of body contact).

This document specifies general requirements for the design of tests for identifying and quantifying
degradation products from final metallic medical devices or corresponding material samples finished
as ready for clinical use.
This document is applicable only to those degradation products generated by chemical alteration of the
final metallic device in an in vitro degradation test. Because of the nature of in vitro tests, the test results
approximate the in vivo behaviour of the implant or material. The described chemical methodologies
are a means to generate degradation products for further assessments.
This document is applicable to both materials designed to degrade in the body as well as materials that
are not intended to degrade.
This document is not applicable to evaluation of degradation which occurs by purely mechanical
processes; methodologies for the production of this type of degradation product are described in
specific product standards, where available.
NOTE Purely mechanical degradation causes mostly particulate matter. Although this is excluded from the
scope of this document, such degradation products can evoke a biological response and can undergo biological
evaluation as described in other parts of ISO 10993.
Because of the wide range of metallic materials used in medical devices, no specific analytical
techniques are identified for quantifying the degradation products. The identification of trace elements
(<10–6 w/w) contained in the specific metal or alloy is not addressed in this document, nor are specific
requirements for acceptable levels of degradation products provided in this document.
This document excludes the biological activity of the degradation products. (See instead the applicable
clauses of ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-17).

This document specifies the framework and the methodology to evaluate and demonstrate the applicability of a validated non-animal method from an OECD test guideline to assess the skin sensitizing potential of a medical device or a medical device material. This document addresses: — the database of reference chemical skin sensitizers and non-skin sensitizers; — reference materials; — feasibility testing of candidate test methods, including any method optimization for use with extracts of medical devices; — prevalidation of candidate test methods; — the interlaboratory study: — sample preparation and coding; — spiking of the extracts from the negative control medical device material; — data collection; — statistical analysis to assess reliability and reproducibility. The use of the approaches described in this document to assess the applicability of a candidate test method does not imply that the candidate test method can be used as a stand-alone test for evaluating the skin sensitization potential of medical devices. For certain candidate test methods, integrated approaches and/or defined approaches are needed.[1] The evaluation of skin sensitization potential of a medical device is described in ISO 10993-10.

This document describes the results of an international interlaboratory study conducted in 2006 to evaluate the performance of two different test protocols in terms of the cytotoxic effects in the biological evaluation of medical devices. The results of these tests were used for the revision of ISO 10993-5.[2] Furthermore, the results of these tests were used to estimate the accuracy of these test systems with living cells to define a threshold what is considered a cytotoxic effect. NOTE The determination of cytotoxic effects has a high relevance in the biological evaluation of medical devices; according to ISO 10993-1[1], it is one of the very few tests which are proposed to be performed for every kind of device.
