• Medical supplies/dental materials

According to ISO10993-1, medical devices that come into direct or indirect contact with the patient's body must first check whether ISO10993 is applied through the flowchart below.

※ Summary of a systematic approach to the biological evaluation of medical devices as part of the risk management process

ISO10993 Test items can be checked through the ISO10993-1 Annex A (informative) below for medical supplies/dental materials whose application of ISO10993 has been confirmed according to the flow chart.
