    The live webinar focuses on the latest aspects of biocompatibility and ethylene oxide sterilization (EO/EtO) requirements. It is suitable for people responsible for the quality, regulatory, R&D, vigilance, clinical evaluation, and management of medical device manufacturers.

     The live webinar is for all, who want to find state-of-the-art approaches and requirements, and most important: how to handle them!

     

    The biocompatibility part which takes 2h, will answer the following questions:

    • What are the requirements of MDR, ISO 10993, Notified Bodies and Competent Authorities?

    • Biological Evaluation Plan (BEP), Biological Evaluation Report/Biological Risk Assessment (BER/BRA) – how to waive some testing using it?

    • How to prepare samples for testing? How many samples are needed? How do I need to be prepared?

    •  What is the role of ISO 17025 and GLP?

    • Which tests are needed for my medical device?

    • ISO 10993-18 chemical characterization (extractables & leachables) – how to handle that?

    •  How to plan extraction strategy and solvent selection?

    • What is the role of Analytical Evaluation Threshold (AET) calculation and analytical uncertainty factor?

    • Toxicological evaluation ISO 10993-17 – is it always necessary?

    • How long does biocompatibility testing take?

    • Which changes in medical devices require additional testing?

    • A new standard revision – do I need to test my product again?

    •  What are the biocompatibility testing requirements in various countries?

    The EO sterilization part which takes 1h, will answer the following questions:

    • What basic knowledge of microbiology is necessary for you?

    •  What are the advantages and disadvantages of EO sterilization?

    • What is the flow of a typical EO sterilization process?

    • What is the influence of critical parameters on the effectiveness of EO sterilization process

    • How to validate EO sterilization process?

    • How to calculate D-value?

    • How to create appropriate PCDs?

    • How to determine half-cycle dwell time?

    • How to determine residuals level?

    • What challenges can you expect during EO process validation?
