ISO 10993-1 was first published in 1992
3
It was revised in 1997, 2003 and 2009
4
This standard is recognized globally, but
the overall acceptance and use can vary
5
This is especially true for FDA

Evaluation program based on ISO 14971
Decisions by qualified individuals
Weigh advantages/disadvantages of: Physical/chemical characteristics of materials
Historical data –clinical use or human exposureExisting toxicological data or biological safety data on
materialsTest procedures considered

Conclusion may indicate that additional testing is not required if the material has a safe history of use in a specified role and physical form that is equivalent to that of the device under review
22
Selection of materials2
23
Selection of materials2
Fitness for purpose
24
Selection of materials2
Fitness for purpose
Chemical, toxicological, physical, mechanical properties
25
Selection of materials2
Fitness for purpose
Chemical, toxicological, physical, mechanical properties
Key principle for materials as it is directed towards the material itself
Applicable Material Standards: Example - ASTM F136-08e Wrought Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vandadium ELI Alloy for
Surgical Implant Applications
