GB/T 16886.19-2011 Biological evaluation of medical devices—Part 19:Physico-chemical,morphological and topographical characterization of materials
Basic Information
Scope
This part of GB/T 16886 provides various parameters and test methods for the determination and evaluation of physical-chemical, morphological, and surface characteristics (PMT) of finished medical device materials. This assessment is limited to performance related to biological evaluation and the intended use of medical devices (clinical applications and usage time), even if such performance coincides with clinical effectiveness. This part of GB/T 16886 does not describe the characterization or quantitative determination of degradation products, as this content is specified in Parts 9, 13, 14, and 15 of GB/T 16886. The chemical characterization of materials is described in GB/T 16886.18.
The GB/T 16886 standard is not applicable to medical devices and materials that do not come into direct or indirect contact with the human body (see ISO 109931).
