applies to materials that are expected to degrade in vivo and materials that are not
expected to degrade" (see Clause 1 of this Edition);
b) Add information on test methods for nanomaterials and other related materials (see 4.1
of this Edition);
c) Add more test solutions (electrolytes) (see 5.2 of this Edition);
d) Add more sample shapes (see 5.3.3 of this Edition);
e) Add the specific content of the immersion test (see Clause 7 of this Edition).

Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 15:
Identification and Quantification of Degradation Products
from Metals and Alloys
1 Scope
This Document specifies general requirements for the design of tests for identifying and
quantifying degradation products from final metallic medical devices or corresponding material
samples finished as ready for clinical use.
This Document applies to materials that are expected and unintended to degrade in vivo and to
degradation products that result from chemical changes in the final metallic device during in
vitro degradation tests.
This Document does not apply to the evaluation of degradation occurring by purely mechanical
processes; the methodology for producing such degradation products is described in the specific
product standard, if available. This document does not cover the biological activity of
degradation products.
NOTE 1: Due to the nature of the in vitro test, the test results approximate the in vivo behavior of the
implant or material. The described chemistry is a means to generate degradation products for further
evaluation.
NOTE 2: Pure mechanical degradation mainly produces particulate debris. Although not included in the
scope of this Document, such degradation products can cause biological reactions, and perform
biological evaluation according to the methods described in other parts of GB/T(Z) 16886.
NOTE 3: Due to the wide variety of metallic materials used in medical devices, there is no specific
analytical technique to determine the quantification of degradation products. This document does not
involve the characterization of trace elements (mass fraction < 10-6) contained in specific metals or alloys,
nor does it provide specific requirements for acceptable levels of degradation products.
2 Normative References
The provisions in following documents become the essential provisions of this Document
through reference in this Document. For the dated documents, only the versions with the dates
indicated are applicable to this Document; for the undated documents, only the latest version
(including all the amendments) is applicable to this Document.
7 Immersion Test
7.1 Apparatus
7.1.1 Test cells of borosilicate glass, of appropriate sizes, in accordance with ISO 3585, with a
means of controlling the bath temperature within ±1 °C.
7.1.2 pH-meter with a sensitivity of ±0.1.
7.2 Sample preparation
The test sample shall be placed in a separate glass container. The size of the glass container
should be selected so that an electrolyte volume of less than 1 ml/cm2 of sample surface shall
completely cover the sample(s). The test sample shall be totally covered by the electrolyte.
Do not risk compromising long-term data through biological (e.g. bacterial, fungal)
contamination. For example, the utilized containers may need to be sterile and electrolyte may
need to be prepared under aseptic conditions.
The surface area and volume of electrolyte should be sufficient for the intended method of
analysis (see Clause 8).
Care should be taken such that the samples do not touch the glass surface except in a minimum
support line or point. If the test sample is small, the proper surface area/volume ratio might not
be attainable with a single test sample. Therefore, if the test sample shall be made up of two or
more pieces, the pieces shall not touch each other.
For test samples with roughened or irregular shapes and therefore difficult to determine the
surface area, the user is referred to the discussion in ISO 10993-12 and ISO/TR 10993-22
concerning how such differences can impact the risk assessment.
7.3 Immersion test procedure
Measure the pH of the electrolyte containing the test sample at the start of the test. Then tightly
close the test cell to prevent evaporation and maintain at (37 ± 1) °C for (7 ± 0.1) d. Then
remove the sample and measure the pH of the residual electrolyte. Certain materials can call
for the use of tissue culture (i.e., sterile filtered) grade phosphate buffered saline as the
immersion electrolyte.
It can be necessary to conduct immersion tests for a longer period of time if all of the following
conditions apply:
a) the alloy is used in a permanent implant
b) the alloy contains constituents that are soluble in the use environment
