ISO 12891-2 Standard Test for Retrieval and Analysis of Surgical Implants

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 12891-2 standard. This standard specifies methods for the analysis of retrieved surgical implants. This standard describes the analysis of obtained metallic, polymeric and ceramic implants.

The analysis is divided into three phases that are becoming more and more disruptive. This standard can also be applied to other materials such as animal tissue implants. National regulations or legal requirements regarding the processing and analysis of retrieved implants and tissues and associated biological materials may also apply to certain topics covered in this standard.

Investigation of ingested implantable medical devices and adjacent tissues can have diagnostic value in the event of clinical complications, deepen our knowledge of clinical implant performance and safety, and improve our understanding of interactions between implants and the body, thereby furthering it.

This part of ISO 12891 specifies methods for the analysis of surgical implants received to ensure they are not damaged, to specify typical research techniques, and to allow comparisons between research results from different sources. These methods can be useful for acquisition and analysis studies in animals.
