ISO /TR 10993-33 First Edition 2015-03-01
Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 33: Guidance on tests to evaluate genotoxicity - Supplement to ISO 10993-3 |
|
Scope/Abstract| There are differences between the views of regulatory bodies on the subject of genotoxicity testing. The purpose of this Technical Report is to provide background information to facilitate the selection of tests and guidance on the performance of tests. |
|
Extent of Recognition
| Partial recognition. The following part(s) of the standard is (are) not recognized: |
Clause 6.3.2, Sentence, "A DRF study may be conducted prior to the main study if cytotoxicity of the test sample is expected to be significant, e.g. cytotoxicity or growth inhibition greater than 50%,"
Clause 6.5.3, Paragraph 2, First bullet, "reduction greater than 50% with dose-dependency in the mean number of revertants per plate as compared to the mean corresponding solvent control."
Clause 7.3.2., Paragraph 4, Phrase, "degree of confluency"
Clause 9.5.2.2, Paragraph 2, Second Sentence, "Low spontaneous mutant frequencies, i.e. 20 to 34 mutants per 106 surviving cells, are considered acceptable if small colony recovery is demonstrated, see Reference"
Clause 9.5.2.2, Paragraph 3, First bullet "4 h: >=100 mutants over the negative control".

Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.
This standard is recognized in part because:
Clause 6.3.2, 6.5.3, and 7.3.2 "degree of confluency" contains a test method that conflicts with published literature. See reference below.
Annex A contains a test method that is in conflict with published literature. See references below.
Clause 9.5.2.2 contains a test method that is not scientifically acceptable. See OECD guideline 490. |
