Toxicological risk assessment (TRA) of medical devices according to ISO 10993-17
ISO 10993-17 provides a structured approach to establishing safe exposure levels for chemicals released by medical devices during clinical use. A toxicological risk assessment in accordance with the standard is typically required if extractable and leachable substances are discovered during chemical characterization (ISO 10993-18) in concentrations above the analytical evaluation threshold (AET).
A comprehensive risk assessment is created using toxicological data from existing literature, or mathematical tools when data on particular substances are unavailable.
The assessment will include:
A summary of the toxicological profile of substances flagged from the device's chemical characterization and determination of their respective permissible exposure limits.
A calculation of the margin of safety between actual patient exposure and permissible exposure limits, considering various toxicological endpoints.
A final assessment of whether a leachable poses a significant toxicological risk, including recommendations on ensuring compliance with safety thresholds.
The displayed starting price includes the evaluation of one extractable chemical and the reporting fee. Typically, multiple substances are evaluated during the risk assessment, but the price per chemical is significantly lower for additional chemicals.
The extent of the required toxicological evaluation depends on the results of the ISO 10993-18 chemical characterization, which we can also offer if not yet completed.
