Non-Pyrogenicity and Biocompatibility of Parylene-Coated Magnetic Bead Implants

ABSTRACT We verify the non-pyrogenicity of magnetic bead implants and submit them to a full chemical characterization and toxicological risk assessment. Further, we validate the cleaning efficacy, steam sterilization, and dry time of a magnetic bead insertion device. We believe these results to be valuable to further scientific progress in the use of magnetic bead implants for human-machine interfacing.
