@amal is probably the one to weigh in on what this means…
It may or may not be the same level of biocompatibility needed for implantation
Also,
a rant about word games some of these types of companies play regarding certification standards
I learned from some body armor SMEs, the qualifying word when used in regards to qualification standards is VERY important in these situations
As many companies won’t actually get things tested or certified and through wordsmithing and legalese merely “imply” (mislead) that something had been actually certified
Meets /exceeds “standard” ≠actually certified by the certifying agency… and or cherry picking only certain criteria to test against
In this scenario “CAN pass may mean that it has yet to actually meet these standards or in a reliable manner
(One of the things that prevents companies from getting actually certified can be that they need to pass a audit or sorts, not just a single cherry picked unit)
