CfPA-The Center for Professional Advancement, New Brunswick, NJ
August 3-5, 2015


Who Should Attend?
This course is intended for professionals who have responsibilities for the safety and marketing approval of medical devices and drug/device combination products. It will be especially valuable to:
  • Scientists
  • Engineers
  • Biologists
  • QA/QC
  • Manufacturing personnel
  • Regulatory affairs

These individuals may come from industrial, government, academic and/or contract testing facilities. The course should be especially useful for those newly assigned to product safety responsibilities although it also provides an opportunity for more experienced personnel to update their knowledge.

Course Description
The aim of this course is to review the principles of testing materials for biocompatibility. The full range of test methods will be discussed including chemical analysis, cell culture and other in vitro methods, acute animal studies including USP methods, thromboresistance, sensitization, long-term implant and other special studies. The nature of polymers and the sources of incompatibility will be discussed along with specific examples. Methods of testing will be related to the end use of a product. Examples of recommended testing programs will be presented, as well as the impact of FDA’s Good Laboratory Practice regulations and ISO requirements on preclinical testing of materials and medical devices.
