toxicological risk assessment
Industry-Leading Medical Device Consulting Firm
Toxicological risk assessment is an essential part of evaluating the safety of medical devices. Paracelsus, a renowned physician, alchemist, and astrologer of the German Renaissance, is credited with the principle that "all things are poison and nothing is without poison; only the dose makes a thing not a poison." This principle is now the foundation of modern toxicology. The biological evaluation of medical devices requires establishing acceptable limits for leachable substances, as specified in ISO 10993-17. Regulatory agencies worldwide require a comprehensive toxicological risk assessment for most device submissions.
