Scope

This part of ISO 10993 provides guidance on general requirements for the design of tests for identifying and quantifying degradation products from finished polymeric medical devices ready for clinical use. This part of ISO 10993 describes two test methods to generate degradation products, an accelerated degradation test as a screening method and a real-time degradation test. For materials which are intended to polymerize in situ, the set or cured polymer is used for testing. The data generated are used in the biological evacuation of the polymer. This part of ISO 10993 considers only those degradation products generated by a chemical alteration of the finished polymeric device. It is not applicable to degradation of the device included during its intended use by mechanical stress, wear or electromagnetic radiation. The biological activity of the debris and soluble degradation products is not adressed in this part of ISO 10993 , but should be evaluated according to the principles of ISO 10993-1 and ISO 14538. Because of the wide range of polymeric materials used in medical devices, no specific analytical techniques are identified or given preference. No specific requirements for acceptable levels of degradation products are provided in this part of ISO 10993.
