Fatigue Endurance Hip Joint Implant Test Equipment ISO 7206-4, ISO 7206-6, ASTM F2068. Medical Implant Fatigue Test,
ASTM F2068: Standard Specification for Femoral Prostheses – Metallic Implants
ISO 7206-6:2013 Implants for surgery: Partial and total hip joint prostheses — Part 6: Endurance properties testing and performance requirements of neck region of stemmed femoral components
The standards ISO 7206-4 and ISO 7206-6 describe durability/fatigue testing of the rod and neck regions of femoral components with rods for hip implants. During testing, the hip joint prosthesis is fixed in the corresponding testing fixture with cement and subjected to cyclic loading through a dynamic testing machine. According to the design and length of the hip joint prosthesis, as well as the part to be tested according to the standards, the embedding depth, oscillation load, and number of cycles.
ISO 7206-6:2013 specifies test methods and the fatigue performance for the endurance properties, under specified laboratory conditions, of the neck region of stemmed femoral components of total hip joint prostheses and stemmed femoral components used alone in partial hip joint replacement. It is applicable to modular and non-modular designs made of metallic or non-metallic materials.
It also specifies the test conditions so that the important parameters that affect the hip femoral components are taken into account and describes how the specimen is set up for testing.
In the ISO 7206-4 standard, the dynamic load of the hip prosthesis rod during the movement of a loosened implant was simulated to test the service life of the rod. ISO 7206-4 specifies the cyclic load and number of cycles to determine the durability characteristics of femoral rods. At least six femoral rods must withstand five million load cycles, with a maximum load of 2300 N and a minimum load of 300 N.
