Scope
This document was written to augment ISO 10993-18:2020. Specifically, this document addresses and
provides best practice recommendations for:
— Uncertainty in Leachables and Extractables Measurements;
— Derivation, Calculation and Application of the Analytical Evaluation Threshold (AET);
— Best Practices for Leachables and Extractables Identification;
— Best Practices for Leachables and Extractables Quantification;
— Requirements for Instrumentation and Human Resources.
Purpose
ISO 10993-18:2020, specifies a framework for the discovery, identification, and quantification of extractable and/or leachable constituents of a medical device, allowing the identification of biological hazards and the estimation and control of biological risks from material constituents. ISO 10993-18: 2020 reflects and establishes those practical, achievable, and science-based best practices for leachables and extractables identification and quantification for which a consensus in the community of practice could be achieved. This document was written to augment ISO 10993-18:2020.
