34、valuation of medical devices” the secretariat of which is held by NEN. IntroductionOne of the potential health hazards resulting from medical devices may be due to the interactions of theirelectrochemically-induced degradation products with the biological system. Therefore, the evaluation of potenti

35、aldegradation products from metallic materials by methods suitable for testing the electrochemical behavior of thesematerials is a necessary step in the biological performance testing of materials.The body environment typically contains cations of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium and anions

36、ofchloride, bicarbonate, phosphate and organic acids generally in concentrations between 2 Gb4 103mol and150 Gb4 103mol. A range of organic molecules such as proteins, enzymes and lipoproteins is also present, but theirconcentrations may vary to a great extent. Earlier studies assumed that organic m

37、olecules did not exert asignificant influence on the degradation of metallic implants, but newer investigations indicate that implant protein interactions should be taken into account. Depending on a particular product or application, altering thepH of the testing environment may also need to be con

38、sidered.In such biological environments, metallic materials may undergo a certain degradation and the differentdegradation products may interact with the biological system in different ways. Therefore, the identification andquantification of these degradation products is an important step in evaluat

39、ing the biological performance ofmedical devices.DIN EN ISO 10993-15:2009-10 EN ISO 10993-15:2009 (E) 41 ScopeThis part of ISO 10993 provides guidance on general requirements for the design of tests for identifying andquantifying degradation products from finished metallic medical devices or corresp

40、onding material samples finishedas ready for clinical use. It is applicable only to those degradation products generated by chemical alteration of thefinished metallic device in an in vitro accelerated degradation test. Because of the accelerated nature of thesetests, the test results may not reflec

41、t the implant or material behavior in the body. The described chemicalmethodologies are a means to generate degradation products for further assessments.This part of ISO 10993 is not applicable to degradation products induced by applied mechanical stress.NOTE Mechanically induced degradation, such a

42、s wear, may be covered in the appropriate product-specific standard.Where product-group standards provide applicable product-specific methodologies for the identification and quantification ofdegradation products, those standards should be considered.Because of the wide range of metallic materials u

43、sed in medical devices, no specific analytical techniques areidentified for quantifying the degradation products.

46、watertight electrode holder so that only the test surface is in contact with the electrolyte.Take care to avoid the creation of conditions where crevice corrosion can occur due the formation of a crevicebetween the mounting and the sample. Before testing, clean the specimen ultrasonically for 10 min

47、 to 15 min inethanol, carefully rinse with water of grade 2 in accordance with ISO 3696 and immediately transfer into the testcell.8DIN EN ISO 10993-15:2009-10 EN ISO 10993-15:2009 (E) 6.3 Test conditionsFill the test cell with the test solution (electrolyte). If the electrochemical behaviour is tem

48、perature-sensitive in therange of 10 Gb0Cto50Gb0C, maintain the electrolyte cell at (37 Gb1 1) C. Reduce the oxygen level in the electrolyte bybubbling oxygen-free nitrogen or argon at a rate of approximately 100 cm3Gd7min1for not less than 30 min prior tothe start of the test. The electrolyte shall

49、 be agitated either by the bubbling gas or mechanical means to avoidconcentration gradients. If gas agitation is used, take care not to have any gas bubbles adhering to the active testsurface.Magnetic stirrers often interfere with electrochemical test cells. If they are used, their effect on the test cell shall bedetermined as part of the validation of test equipment, see 4.2.6.4 Potentiodynamic measurementsMeasure the open-circuit potential not less than 2 h after the immersion of the working electrode.
