Biological evaluation of medical devices — Part 3: Evaluation of genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity and developmental toxicity

Scope

ISO 10993-3:2014 specifies strategies for risk estimation and selection of hazard identification tests, with respect to the possibility of the following potentially irreversible biological effects arising as a result of exposure to medical devices:

genotoxicity;
carcinogenicity;
