ISO 11979-5 Ophthalmic Implants, Intraocular Lenses, Part 5: Biocompatibility Test Standard

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 11979-5 standard. This part of ISO 11979 specifies specific requirements for the assessment of biocompatibility of materials for intraocular lenses, including the processing conditions to manufacture them.

ISO 11979-5 Ophthalmic Implants, Intraocular Lenses, Part 5: Biocompatibility Test Standard

These requirements include evaluation of physicochemical properties related to biocompatibility. It also provides guidance on performing ocular implantation testing.

The following physicochemical tests will be considered:

  • Comprehensive extraction;
  • They can be leaked;
  • hydrolytic stability;
  • Photostability against ultraviolet/visible irradiation;
  • Stability to Nd-YAG laser exposure;
  • Insoluble inorganics.

In addition, the risk assessment will include an assessment of possible significant changes, such as calcification. This risk assessment should consider the material's clinical use history and animal models to test the material's long-term stability.
