35、 1844.2 Fatigue testing of the intervertebral body fusion deviceassemblies will simulate a motion segment via a gap betweentwo polyacetal test blocks. The polyacetal will eliminate theeffects of the variability of bone properties and morphology forthe fatigue tests. The minimum ultimate tensile stre

36、ngth of thepolyacetal blocks shall be no less than 61 MPa.4.3 Static testing of the intervertebral body fusion deviceassemblies will simulate a motion segment via a gap betweentwo stainless steel blocks. The minimum ultimate tensilestrength of the blocks shall be no less than 1310 MPa.4.4 The pushro

37、d shall also be manufactured from stainlesssteel, which shall also have a minimum ultimate tensilestrength no less than 1310 MPa.4.5 Static and dynamic tests will evaluate the intervertebralbody fusion device assembly. The user of this test method mustdecide which series of tests are applicable to t

38、he intervertebralbody fusion device assembly in question. The user of this testmethod may choose to use all or a selection of the testsdescribed in this test method for testing a particular interver-tebral body fusion device assembly.5. Significance and Use5.1 Intervertebral body fusion device assem

39、blies are gener-ally simple geometric-shaped devices which are often porousor hollow in nature. Their function is to support the anteriorcolumn of the spine to facilitate arthrodesis of the motionsegment. This test method outlines materials and methods forthe characterization and evaluation of the m

40、echanical perfor-mance of different intervertebral body fusion device assembliesso that comparisons can be made between different designs.5.2 This test method is designed to quantify the static anddynamic characteristics of different designs of intervertebralbody fusion device assemblies. These test

41、s are conducted invitro to allow for analysis and comparison of the mechanicalperformance of intervertebral body fusion device assemblies tospecific force modalities.5.3 The forces applied to the intervertebral body fusionassemblies may differ from the complex loading seen in vivo,and therefore, the

42、 results from these tests may not directlypredict in vivo performance. The results, however, can be usedto compare mechanical performance of different intervertebralbody fusion device assemblies.5.4 Since the environment may affect the dynamic perfor-mance of intervertebral body fusion device assemb

43、lies, dy-namic testing in a saline environment may be considered.Fatigue tests should first be conducted in air (at ambienttemperature) for comparison purposes since the environmentaleffects could be significant. If a simulated in vivo environmentis desired, the investigator should consider testing

44、in a salineenvironmental bath at 37C (for example, 0.9-g NaCl per100-mLwater) at a rate of 1 Hz or less.Asimulated body fluid,FIG. 6 Typical Force Displacement CurveF2077 185a saline drip or mist, distilled water, or other type of lubricationat 37C could also be used with adequate justification.5.5

45、If the devices are known to be temperature and envi-ronment dependent, testing should be conducted in physiologicsolution as described in 5.4. Devices that require physiologicsolution for testing should be tested in the same type solutionfor comparison purposes.5.6 The location within the simulated

46、vertebral bodies andposition of the intervertebral body fusion device assembly withrespect to the loading axis will be dependent upon the design,the manufacturers recommendation, or the surgeons preferredmethod for implant placement.5.7 It is well known that the failure of materials is depen-dent up

47、on stress, test frequency, surface treatments, and envi-ronmental factors. Therefore, when determining the effect ofchanging one of these parameters (for example, frequency,material, or environment), all others must be kept constant tofacilitate interpretation of the results.6. Apparatus6.1 Test mac

48、hines will conform to the requirements ofPractices E4.6.2 The intradiscal height, H, shall be determined fromvertebral body and disc morphometric data at the intendedlevel of application. Suggested heights are as follows: 10 mmfor the lumbar spine, 6 mm for the thoracic spine, and 4 mm forthe cervic

49、al spine. The intradiscal height should not reach zerobefore the onset of functional or mechanical failure. If thisoccurs, the test is considered a failure. The user of the testmethod should select the intradiscal height that is appropriatefor the device being tested.6.3 Axial Compression Test ApparatusThe actuator of thetesting machine is connected to the pushrod by a minimalfriction ball and socket joint or universal joint (that is,unconstrained in bending). The pushrod is connected to thesuperior fixture by a minimal friction spher
