ASTM F1798
Standard Test Method for Evaluating the Static and Fatigue Properties of Interconnection Mechanisms and Subassemblies Used in Spinal Arthrodesis Implants
This test method covers the measurement of uniaxial static and fatigue strength, and resistance to loosening of the component interconnection mechanisms of spinal arthrodesis implants. The purpose of this test method is to provide a means of mechanically characterizing different designs of spinal implant interconnections. Ultimately, the various components and interconnections should be combined for…
Our Testing Services
When choosing a medical device testing laboratory to perform evaluations, there are four key elements to consider:
- Interaction with a senior engineer to review the intricacies of the device and to ensure the proposed testing will address corporate goals and objectives
- Accurate implementation of the testing standard(s)
- Comprehensive reporting of the materials, procedures and data to align with ASTM/ISO and USFDA reporting requirements
- Regularly scheduled and documented verification, calibration and maintenance of testing equipment
ORL does all of the above, always has, and laid the groundwork for many of today’s active standards!
