Many commonly used medical devices, such as catheters, extracorporeal circulation systems, and endovascular grafts, come into contact with circulating blood. Therefore, before submitting these devices to regulatory authorities for approval, their haemocompatibility, such as the risk of hemolysis and thrombosis, needs to be evaluated. The tests required for the evaluation depend on the type and duration of contact for the specific medical device involved (ISO10993-4 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 4: Selection of tests for interaction with blood). https://biocoating.cd-biop...
