Title: Wonderful World of Biocompatibility. Recent Updates and Challenges

Speaker: Kristin Rödig

Please note: the presentation will be held in German.

This presentation provides a practical overview of the key updates in the revised ISO 10993‑1 standard and their impact on the biological evaluation of medical devices. It focuses on the new categorisation of medical devices and the strengthened, lifecycle‑based risk management approach. Participants will gain a concise yet comprehensive understanding of how this standard influences the risk management process, testing requirements, and regulatory expectations in their daily work environment.

Presentation 2: Thursday, 07.05.2026, 11:30 – 11:50 AM - Exhibitor Forum (3-347)

Title: Reprocessing of Medical Devices: Requirements Today - Opportunities for Tomorrow

Speaker: Dr. Alina Sieber

Please note: the presentation will be held in German.

Reprocessing includes all steps required for the safe cleaning, disinfection, and sterilisation of reusable products. The wide variety of designs and materials leads to challenges such as complex geometries, limited material compatibility, and growing regulatory expectations. Effective reprocessing therefore requires a risk‑based approach, appropriate process validations, and clear documentation. Key guidelines provide the fundamental framework for safety and performance, but are considered here only at a high level.

A crucial aspect is early awareness: many issues can be avoided when manufacturers and customers consider reprocessing requirements from the very beginning and clarify essential information in advance. This enables more efficient processes and opens opportunities for improved, forward‑looking reprocessing solutions.
