This week we are discussing Extractables and Leachables (E&L) testing in medical devices and how this is important for the chemical characterisation of materials in the context of biological evaluation (ISO 10993). We have written a blog discussing E&L testing in further detail, please follow the link below: https://lnkd.in/eS6Bk-aB Patient Guard can now provide E&L testing for Medical Device biocompatibility, head over to our website to learn more and to enquire about this service. #E&L #extractables #leachables #medicaldevices #medtech #ISO10993 #biocompatability #biologicalevaluation

We are celebrating! This month marks the fifth anniversary of our ISO accreditation 13485 for the manufacture of injection moulded components for medical devices. Since then, our portfolio has grown significantly and we now mould, assemble and pack millions of parts a year at our premises in South Oxfordshire. These include complex assemblies, lab consumables and optics. Last year we also assisted with the reshoring of 19 healthcare components from China and began partnerships with several, award winning, sustainable start-ups. #ISO13485 https://lnkd.in/eCUsmYyR

You may have noticed that the FDA introduced some changes in their eSTAR ‘Device Specific EMC Considerations’ as follows: - Text changed from ‘select the most severe risk’ to ‘select the most severe harm’ - Clarification that this question pertains to potential harm from the subject device only, and therefore the context of this question does not include harm that may be caused by any other nearby medical device - Clarification that the most severe harm should be assessed before mitigation measures, not after Why the change? It's because of KBC! Through direct exchanges with the FDA, we sought clarification regarding eSTAR device considerations. The FDA eSTAR team appreciated our input, saying: "We consulted internally about this and will be making changes in the next eSTAR update as a result. Thank you for your feedback, let us know if you find anything else." We were glad to help prompt improvements to this important eSTAR section! To view the eSTAR changes along with their importance and impact, please visit our website: https://lnkd.in/gcN28iC5 This update is one example of how KBC is at the forefront of FDA regulatory knowledge and practice, even influencing FDA expectations applying to all 510(k) medical device applications.
