ISO 10933-5: Cytotoxicity STandard
What IS 10993-5?
ISO 10993-5 is a key part of the ISO 10993 series, which focuses on the biological evaluation of medical devices. Specifically, it addresses cytotoxicity testing, ensuring that materials used in medical devices do not cause harm to human cells. This standard evaluates how cells react when exposed to device materials, verifying their safety for human contact in both direct and indirect applications.
