Biocompatibility and cleanliness are two critical aspects of safe and effective #medicaldevice development and production. Whilst these terms might seem similar, they represent distinct concepts that play unique roles in the assessment and regulation of #medicaldevices. Medical device developers and manufacturers must prioritise both #biocompatibility and cleanliness to uphold the highest standards of patient care and safety. However, with a plethora of testing philosophies and test methods, and no globally defined limit values, combining biocompatibility and cleanliness testing can prove difficult. It's also often the case that manufacturers and suppliers have a different understanding regarding the requirements for cleanliness levels. Brought to you by our biocompatibility experts Dr Silvio Peng, Caroline Bachem, and Lucio D'Ambrosio, our latest whitepaper elucidates the relationship between biocompatibility and cleanliness, highlights the key differences between the concepts, and sheds light on their significance in the field of medical devices.

When it comes to medical devices, misconceptions run rampant, fueled by fear mongering headlines and a lack of industry transparency. But at Icovy, we're all about bringing fact-based clarity to the discussion. It's time to put some widespread medical device myths to the test once and for all. Brace yourselves because we're about to use data as a “myth-busting” explosive device! Myth #1: Medical Devices Are Unsafe According to the FDA's annual reports, only 0.5% of device recalls in 2022 were for potentially life-threatening situations. A staggering 83% of recalls were for minor issues like software updates or packaging deficiencies. Myth #2: Devices Undergo Little Regulation BUSTED! On average, medium-risk medical devices require at least 18 months of rigorous regulatory review before approval. Higher-risk devices can take 54+ months, undergoing stringent clinical testing and comprehensive scrutiny. Myth #3: Materials Are Toxic Multiple peer-reviewed studies show materials like PEEK and PEKK used in implantable devices exhibit excellent biocompatibility and biostability within the body. The documented adverse tissue reactions are less than 0.1%. Myth #4: New Devices Are Unsafe Clinical data shows that the latest minimally invasive technologies, such as robotic surgery and interventional radiology, have significantly improved patient outcomes and shorter recovery times compared to traditional open procedures. At Icovy, our expertise in medical devices runs deep. We're passionate about elevating industry trust and showcasing innovation's life-changing benefits when implemented responsibly. Let us know what other medical device myths you'd like us to take a “myth-busting” look at! We're always ready to bring facts to the fight.
