Overview What is chemical characterization? Why is it important to characterize materials and
medical devices? Change control and material equivalency
3
What is Characterization?
4
What is Characterization?
A process that describes the nature of materials used in medical devices
5
What is Characterization?
The process is a series of tests that delineates the properties of the material
Chemical Toxicological Physical Mechanical Morphological Electrical
6
Why Characterize Materials and Medical Devices?
7
Why Characterize Materials and Medical Devices?
Safety As part of an assessment of the overall biological safety
of a medical device (EN ISO 10993-1 and 14971)
8
Why Characterize Materials and Medical Devices?
Safety As part of an assessment of the overall biological safety
of a medical device (EN ISO 10993-1 and 14971) Performance
9
Why Characterize Materials and Medical Devices?
Safety As part of an assessment of the overall biological safety
of a medical device (EN ISO 10993-1 and 14971) Performance Problem Solving (change control and material equivalency)
10
Why Characterize Materials and Medical Devices?
Safety As part of an assessment of the overall biological safety
of a medical device (EN ISO 10993-1 and 14971) Performance Problem Solving (change control and material equivalency) Regulatory (Compliance with FDA, Notified Bodies and ISO
Standards)
11
Why Characterize Materials and Medical Devices?
Establishes baseline testing that will serve as a benchmark
12
Why Characterize Materials and Medical Devices?
Establishes baseline testing that will serve as a benchmark Baseline testing serves as a standard by which other
materials may be measure or judged
13
Why Characterize Materials and Medical Devices?
Establishes baseline testing that will serve as a benchmark Baseline testing serves as a standard by which other
materials may be measure or judged Standard tests used to compare the quality and
performance of future materials or processes
14
Why Characterize Materials and Medical Devices?
Materials characterization is a dynamic ongoing process to be used throughout the lifetime of a medical device
15
Why Characterize Materials and Medical Devices?
Materials characterization is a dynamic ongoing process to be used throughout the lifetime of a medical device
Materials characterization helps monitor material quality, manufacturing processes and sterilization procedures
16
Why Characterize Materials and Medical Devices?
Materials characterization is a dynamic ongoing process to be used throughout the lifetime of a medical device
Materials characterization helps monitor material quality, manufacturing processes and sterilization procedures
When used properly, will eliminate the need to repeat expensive and time consuming biological testing to qualify new lots or vendors

Change Control and Material Equivalency
What is Change Control?
18
Change Control and Material Equivalency
What is Change Control? The processes and procedures to manage changes being
made to a product
19
Change Control and Material Equivalency
What is Change Control? The processes and procedures to manage changes being
made to a product The review, approval/disapproval, implementation, tracking,
closure and status reporting of proposed changes to an item

Change Control and Material Equivalency
ISO 10993-18
Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, Part 18: Chemical Characterization of Materials Used to judge equivalency of proposed material to a
clinically established material

clinically established material Also used to judge equivalency of a prototype device to a
final device
