ISO 18192-1:2008 Implants for surgery - Wear of total intervertebral spinal disc prostheses - Part 1: Loading and displacement parameters for wear testing and corresponding environmental conditions for test
This part of ISO 18192 defines a test procedure for the relative angular movement between articulating
components, and specifies the pattern of the applied force, speed and duration of testing, sample
configuration and test environment to be used for the wear testing of total intervertebral spinal disc
prostheses.
Both lumbar and cervical prostheses are addressed. This part of ISO 18192 does not address partial disc
replacements, such as nucleus replacements or facet joint replacements. The test method focuses on wear
testing. Additional mechanical tests such as fatigue testing can be required.
This part of ISO 18192 does not reproduce the complex in vivo loads and motions. The wear data obtained
with this test method will enable comparison between different types of implants but can differ from the clinical
wear performance. The user of this part of ISO 18192 should consider running additional wear tests
addressing specific safety issues of the individual implant design to be tested.
