ISO 10993-9:2008为系统评估医疗器械的潜在和观察到的生物降解以及生物降解研究的设计和性能提供了一般原则。从这些研究获得的信息可用于ISO 10993系列中描述的生物学评估。 ISO 10993-9:2008考虑了不可吸收和可再吸收的材料

ISO 10993-9:2008 provides general principles for the systematic evaluation of the potential and observed biodegradation of medical devices and for the design and performance of biodegradation studies. Information obtained from these studies can be used in the biological evaluation described in the ISO 10993 series. ISO 10993-9:2008 considers both non-resorbable and resorbable materials.
