1、Designation: F 983 86 (Reapproved 2005)1Standard Practice forPermanent Marking of Orthopaedic Implant Components1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 983; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of

2、 last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEUnits information was editorially corrected in August 2009.1. Scope1.1 It is common practice for orthopaedic implant manufac

3、-turers to apply permanent identification to implant compo-nents. In this regard, Practice F86 describes recommendedlocations and methods of marking for metallic implants.1.2 The purpose of this practice is to (1) recommend thatorthopaedic implants be permanently marked, and (2) recom-mend practical

4、 amounts of information that should be includedin the marking. It is recognized, however, that marking is notpractical in some cases (see 4.1).1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purpor

5、t to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

6、ractice for Surface Preparation and Marking of Me-tallic Surgical Implants3. Methods of Marking3.1 For metallic implants, the procedures described inPractice F86should be followed.3.2 For nonmetallic implants, other methods should bedevised and utilized.3.3 In any case, however, the marking method s

7、hould (a)not compromise implant performance significantly, and (b)provide legibility over the anticipated service life of theimplant.4. Information Included in Permanent Marking4.1 Orthopaedic implants vary widely in size (for example,from wire to total joint prostheses), and the amount ofinformatio

8、n that practically can be included in marking variesaccordingly. Some implants, such as threaded pins and cerclagewire and very small bone screws, do not provide any surfaceswhich can be marked practically.4.2 Standard InformationWhere implant size and shapeallow, it is recommended that the followin

9、g information beincluded in permanent marking:4.2.1 Manufacturer:4.2.2 MaterialThe use of generic names or ASTM stan-dards, or both, in addition to or in place of trade names isrecommended, where applicable.4.2.3 Implant component catalog number or model number.4.2.4 Implant component serial number

10、or lot number.4.3 Minimum InformationWhere implant size and shapeallow, it is recommended that the manufacturer mark smallerimplants with symbols or letters selected by the manufacturerwhich identify (a) the manufacturer and (b) the material fromwhich the component is made. The system of symbols or

11、lettersshould be described in the manufacturers product literature.4.4 Optional InformationManufacturers may wish to in-clude additional information in the permanent marking, indi-cating, for example, implant size and whether an implant isintended for right limb or left limb reconstruction.1This pra

RATIONALEX1.1 The intent of this practice is to provide neededinformation to users of orthopaedic implants under two differ-ent circumstances. First, many implants are removed from theirpac

15、kages outside the operating room long before surgery takesplace, so that they may be sterilized or otherwise prepared foruse. Permanent, readily understood marking will provide forpositive identification of the implants under such circum-stances. Second, when an implant is surgically removed,positiv

16、e identification is desirable information for deciding thecourse of subsequent patient care and for purposes of researchin implant utilization and performance.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this stand
