ASTM F1717 2015 Edition, May 1, 2015 Standard Test Methods for Spinal Implant Constructs in a Vertebrectomy Model
More info
Description / Abstract:
These test methods cover the materials and methods for the
static and fatigue testing of spinal implant assemblies in a
vertebrectomy model. The test materials for most combinations of
spinal implant components can be specific, depending on the
intended spinal location and intended method of application to the
spine.
These test methods are intended to provide a basis for the mechanical comparison among past, present, and future spinal implant assemblies. They allow comparison of spinal implant constructs with different intended spinal locations and methods of application to the spine. These test methods are not intended to define levels of performance, since sufficient knowledge is not available to predict the consequences of the use of a particular device.
These test methods set out guidelines for load types and methods of applying loads. Methods for three static load types and one fatigue test are defined for the comparative evaluation of spinal implant assemblies.
These test methods establish guidelines for measuring displacements, determining the yield load, and evaluating the stiffness and strength of the spinal implant assembly.
Some spinal constructs may not be testable in all test configurations.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
