Lucas Ma has over 10 years of experience in the biocompatibility field. He started his career in a department of two, so he became familiar with a wide range of biocompatibility work. Beginning as a lab technician, he gained first-hand experience preparing medical devices for sterilization and testing. As he moved to an associate biocompatibility role, he wrote test plans, assessments, and reports for a variety of medical devices, ranging from surface-contacting to implantable devices. In time he became the biocompatibility lead for devices in new product development, giving him experience with FDA 510(k) and other international submissions. His industry knowledge is a great asset when he works on biocompatibility evaluation plans and troubleshoots issues that arise during testing.
