AAMI 10993-2 6th Edition, January 1, 2006 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 2: Animal welfare requirements
More info
Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO 10993 is aimed at those who commission, design
and perform tests or evaluate data from animal tests undertaken to
assess the biocompatibility of materials intended for use in
medical devices, or that of the medical devices themselves. It
specifies the minimum requirements to be satisfied to ensure and
demonstrate that proper provision has been made for the welfare of
animals used in animal tests to assess the biocompatibility of
materials used in medical devices.
It also makes recommendations and offers guidance intended to facilitate future further reductions in the overall number of animals used, refinement of test methods to reduce or eliminate pain or distress in animals, and the replacement of animal tests by other scientifically valid means not requiring animal tests.
It applies to tests performed on living vertebrate animals, other than man, to establish the biocompatibility of materials or medical devices.
It does not apply to tests performed on invertebrate animals and other lower forms; nor (other than with respect to provisions relating to species, source, health status, and care and accommodation) does it apply to testing performed on isolated tissues and organs taken from vertebrate animals that have been euthanized.
