ASTM F1798 Standard Guide for Evaluation of Static and Fatigue Properties of Interconnection Mechanisms and Subassemblies Used in Spinal Arthrodesis Implants

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM F1798 standard. This guide covers the measurement of uniaxial static and fatigue force and resistance to loosening of the component interconnection mechanisms of spinal arthrodesis implants.

The purpose of this guide is to provide a tool to mechanically characterize different designs of spinal implant interconnects. As a result, various components and interconnects must be combined for static and fatigue testing of the spinal implant structure.

It is not the purpose of this guide to discuss the analysis of spinal implant structures or substructures or describe the performance levels of spinal implants, as there is insufficient information to predict the results of using certain spinal implant designs.

This guide sets out definitions for use in measuring the strength of component interconnections of spinal implants, possible test methods, and reporting of test results.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be considered standard, except for angular measurements that can be reported in degrees or radians.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
