Biological Evaluation Plan

Use this Biological Evaluation Plan template to systematically identify and document the necessary biocompatibility and biological safety tests for your medical device in accordance with ISO 10993-1. Complete this plan early in the product development process—especially for devices with patient or user contact—to ensure that all relevant biological risks are assessed and that appropriate testing strategies are established for regulatory compliance. This template is essential for guiding biological risk assessment and supporting your technical documentation for CE marking or FDA submissions.

Biological Evaluation Plan

ID: lorem-ipsum-123

1. Purpose

The purpose of this plan is to identify which tests need to be performed in regards to the biological and biocompatibility testing requirements laid out in ISO 10993-1.

2. Scope

This document applies to products that come into contact directly or indirectly with the patient or user and require testing or risk estimation according to ISO 10993 standard.

3. Device Information

3.1 Intended Use / Intended Purpose

Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

3.2 Tissue Contact Type

Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

3.3 Tissue Contact Duration

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

3.4 Composition of Patient Contacting Materials

Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium.

3.5 Impacts of Manufacturing Processes

Coatings, dyes, or additives during the manufacturing process can affect the biocompatibility of the product should these products remain in the final product.

Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores.

3.6 Sterilization

The product uses the following sterilization method: Sterilizationus Methodicus
Sterilization impactus dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

3.7 Degradation of Materials

Materials that degrade or elute materials over time shall have additional considerations regarding their impact on biological safety of the device.

Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae.

4. Risk Assessment

Hazards related to use of the device including potential biological hazards are captured as part of the risk assessment. The full list of hazards can be found below.

At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque.

5. Testing According to ISO 10993-1

Testing shall be performed on the final medical device, or representative samples from the
final device or materials processed in the same manner as the final medical device (including
sterilization, if needed).

If the combination of all materials, chemicals and processes has an established history of safe use in the intended application, and the physical properties have not changed, then it is possible that further characterization and additional data sets (e.g. chemical analysis of extracts or biological testing) will not be necessary.

As such, biological testing is chosen according to the gaps of knowledge on biological impact and biocompatibility of the materials which come into direct or indirect impact with the human body.

5.1 Tests to be Performed

Refer to Annex A for the list of potential tests to be performed under ISO 10993-1.

The following table lists the tests that will be performed considering the type and user characteristics of the device.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

6. Reporting

Reports from testing will be captured in the Biological Evaluation Report. The test protocols and results from those tests will be captured separately, as required.
