Certified Medical Device Biocompatibility & Toxicological Risk Assessment Professional (MDBTRA) Certification Program by Tonex

Medical Device Biocompatibility & Toxicological Risk Assessment Professional

This intensive certification develops hands-on mastery across ISO 10993 biological evaluation, ISO 14971 risk integration, and global regulatory expectations for safe medical devices. Participants learn to select endpoints, plan testing, interpret results, and integrate data into a defensible Biological Evaluation Report and Toxicological Risk Assessment. Practical emphasis includes deriving TI, TTC, NOAEL, BMDL, and computing MoS and HI for real exposure scenarios.

The program strengthens cross-functional alignment among engineering, quality, and regulatory teams while improving dossier readiness for FDA and EU MDR submissions. Cybersecurity considerations intersect with biocompatibility where connected device materials, coatings, and manufacturing data controls affect safety files and change management. Robust cybersecurity governance reduces risks of data integrity issues impacting test validity, traceability, and regulatory confidence.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain the ISO 10993 biological evaluation framework and endpoint selection
  • Design and justify biocompatibility test plans aligned to device contact and duration
  • Perform ISO 10993-18 chemical characterization and set defensible AETs
  • Derive TI, PDE, TTC, and MoS with transparent uncertainty factors
  • Integrate chemical, toxicological, and biological data into a coherent BER and TRA
  • Prepare submission-ready matrices and responses for FDA and EU MDR reviewers
  • Strengthen safety files through data integrity and cybersecurity controls impacting traceability
