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.

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.
