Course Details
• Fundamentals of Biocompatibility: An introduction to the principles of biocompatibility, including the interaction between biological systems and medical devices. This unit covers the basics of biocompatibility testing, regulatory requirements, and risk management.
• Biological Responses to Medical Devices: This unit explores the body's response to medical devices and the factors that influence biocompatibility, such as material selection, surface properties, and design considerations. It includes an in-depth analysis of the biological response to implanted devices, including tissue reactions and the impact on surrounding tissues.
• Biocompatibility Testing Methods: An overview of the various biocompatibility testing methods, including in vitro and in vivo testing, cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, systemic toxicity, genotoxicity, and hemocompatibility. This unit also covers the selection and interpretation of test methods, as well as the limitations and advantages of each method.
• Regulatory Requirements for Biocompatibility: This unit covers the regulatory requirements for biocompatibility, including international and regional standards, such as ISO 10993, FDA guidelines, and European Medical Device Regulations. It includes an analysis of the regulatory landscape, the role of notified bodies, and the impact of regulatory changes on medical device development.
• Risk Management in Biocompatibility: An examination of risk management principles in biocompatibility, including the identification, assessment, and mitigation of risks associated with medical devices. This unit covers the use of risk management tools, such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), and the integration of risk management into the medical device development process.
• Emerging Trends in Biocompatibility: This unit explores emerging trends in biocompatibility, including the use of advanced materials, 3D printing, and nanotechnology. It includes an analysis of the opportunities and challenges associated with these new technologies and the impact on biocompatibility testing and regulatory requirements.<
