Can any one provide me a format of stability testing (accelerated and long term aging ) protocol for stent ? Any report of result ?

Can someone help here?

I can't really bring any expertise to this discussion, but gnerally the tests will be the same for both. I can't remember where the incubation formula can be found, there's bound to be a relevant standard somewhere.

For the tests, at the very least the physical integrity of the stent, its delivery system, and its sterile pack will all need to be confirmed. In addition, if the stent is drug-eluting, all the stability factors pertaining to the pharmaceutical agent will need to be considered.

Hi

Please go through this below link “Presentation on Stability of Drug Eluting Stents” and you can get some details about stability protocol for stent. Hope you will find useful and relevant.
