Medical Device Safety Assessment: Pathology and Toxicology Perspectives

The global medical device (MD) industry continues to grow due to significant rise in use of medical devices as an interventional therapy or delivery tool. The preclinical development process of safety assessment of medical devices is unique, ever evolving to meet the regulatory requirements that are often different from that of other modalities. This symposium provides an overview of the current status, recent advances, and future trends on the following topics in Medical Device Safety Assessment.

  • Toxicology perspectives on medical device safety assessment
  • Fundamentals and challenges associated with microscopic evaluation and biocompatibility 
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for image analysis and interpretation of MD-associated pathological findings
  • Novel applications of currently existing MD for emerging therapeutic modalities
  • Extractables and leachables
  • Regulatory requirements and differences with various agencies

Potential Speakers: 

  • Dr. Antoine Alves, NAMSA, Lyon, France
  • Dr. Flora Wegener, Fresenius Kabi, Bad Homburg, Germany
  • Dr. Nicole Soucy, Boston Scientific, MN, USA
  • Dr. Uta Bussmeyer Merz Aesthetics GmbH,  Frankfurt, Germany
