ASTM F1829
Standard Test Method for Static Evaluation of Anatomic Glenoid Locking Mechanism in Shear
This test method covers a method for determining the static shear disassembly force of modular anatomic glenoid components used in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty prostheses. Although the methodology described does not replicate all physiological force conditions, it is a means of in-vitro comparison of modular anatomic glenoid component designs and the strength of the retention…
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
