We interviewed Educo Life Sciences trainer Rona Middlemiss to discuss Biological Evaluation literature review and data sources. This area is critical as it is a requirement of all medical device categories as per ISO 10993. It aims are to assess the risk and benefits of a device and its materials and to identify what further data is required.

In the interview, Rona provides answers to the following questions:

• Why is the use of data sources so important during biological evaluations?
• What is the process of conducting a literature review?
• When is this information used?
• How do you identify relevant data sources?
• What do you do when there is no data available?
• What do you do with all the information?
• What are the common pitfalls?
