ASTM F763-04 (Reapproved 2016)
Standard Practice for Short-Term Screening of Implant Materials |
|
Scope/Abstract1.1 This practice provides guidelines for short-term testing or screening of candidate materials, both porous and dense, as to the effects of the material on animal tissue in which it is implanted. This is a rapid screening procedure for determining acceptability of candidate materials.
1.2 This practice, along with other appropriate biological tests (including other appropriate ASTM tests) may be used in the biocompatibility assessment of the candidate materials for use in the fabrication of devices for clinical application.
1.3 This experimental protocol is not designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the systemic toxicity, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, or mutagenicity of the material since other standards deal with these issues.
1.4 This practice is one of several developed for the assessment of the biocompatibility of materials. Practice F748 provides guidance for the selection of appropriate methods for testing materials for a specific application. |

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. |
|
Transition Period
| FDA recognition of ASTM F763-04 (Reapproved 2016) [Rec# 2-93] will be superseded by recognition of ASTM F763-22 [Rec# 2-297]. FDA will accept declarations of conformity, in support of premarket submissions, to [Rec# 2-93] until December 22, 2024. After this transition period, declarations of conformity to [Rec# 2-93] will not be accepted. |
