Deutsch: Biokompatibilität / Español: Biocompatibilidad / Português: Biocompatibilidade / Français: Biocompatibilité / Italiano: Biocompatibilità

Biocompatibility in the context of quality management refers to the ability of a material, device, or product to perform with an appropriate host response when applied in a specific application. Specifically, in medical devices and pharmaceuticals, biocompatibility is critical for ensuring that a product is safe for its intended use and does not provoke adverse reactions in patients. Quality management systems (QMS) in industries dealing with healthcare products emphasize the assessment and validation of biocompatibility as part of their product development and manufacturing processes to meet regulatory requirements and ensure patient safety.

Deutsch: Gradient / Español: Gradiente / Português: Gradiente / Français: Gradient / Italiano: Gradiente

In the quality management context, the term "gradient" may not directly refer to a commonly used quality management concept in its standard definition. However, it can be conceptualized in relation to the rate of change or improvement in quality measures or processes over time. A gradient could represent the degree of variation or the direction and rate at which quality performance metrics improve or deteriorate. This interpretation aligns with quality management's focus on continuous improvement, process optimization, and the reduction of variability in product or service quality.
