A Biological Evaluation Plan is the foundational document required under ISO 10993-1 that outlines the strategy for assessing your device's biocompatibility. It defines the nature of body contact (surface, external communicating, or implant), the duration of contact (limited, prolonged, or permanent), and the biological endpoints that need evaluation — cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, genotoxicity, and implantation effects.
The BEP serves as a roadmap that justifies which tests are necessary, which can be waived based on existing data or material equivalence, and how the overall biological safety of the device will be demonstrated to regulatory bodies such as the FDA and EU MDR notified bodies.
Surfacing existing data that can reduce or justify testing needs.
Identifying missing data against current regulatory expectations.
Mapping endpoints to your device's contact type and duration.
