1、Designation: F565 04 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Practice forCare and Handling of Orthopedic Implants and Instruments1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F565; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or, in the case of revision, the year
2、of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers recommended procedures for thehandling of orthopedic implants and instruments.1.2 Hospital rec
3、eiving personnel, central supply personnel,operating room personnel, surgeons, and occasionally otherindividuals will handle orthopedic implants and instruments.All personnel should be informed of recommended care andhandling procedures to prevent damage to orthopedic implantsand instruments.1.3 Thi
4、s practice does not cover producer level handlingand packaging procedures.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its u
5、se. 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. Terminology2.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:2.1.1 orthopedic implanta device introduced by surgi
6、callypenetrating the skin or mucosa of the body with the intentionthat it remain within or attached to the skeleton within the bodyfollowing the surgery. This device is referred to in this practiceas an “implant.”2.1.2 orthopedic instrumentany cooperative device usedduring surgical procedures involv
7、ing the implantation of or-thopedic implants. This device is referred to in this practice asan “instrument.”3. Receiving Implants and Instruments3.1 Receipt:3.1.1 Many implants are wrapped in special sterilizable orpre-sterilized packages, envelopes, or other containers. Thesewrappings should not be
8、 removed by the receiving personnel.3.1.2 Carefully unwrap and handle non-sterilized implantsand instruments upon receipt to avoid scratching, marking, orabrasion by other implants, instruments, unpacking tools, or bydropping or otherwise endangering the surface finish or con-figuration.3.2 Transpor
9、tPerform transport in a manner to precludeany damage or alteration to the received condition of theimplant or instrument.3.3 Storage:3.3.1 Store implants or instruments prior to use in such amanner as to maintain the devices surface finish orconfiguration, or both.3.3.2 Many implants are identified
10、by a serial or lot number,or both, on the package label, package insert, or surface of thedevice. Record these control numbers and retain for transfer topatient records, to facilitate inventory, stock rotation, medicaldevice reporting, and possible traceability to the manufacturer.3.3.3 Stock Rotati
11、onThe principle of first in, first out, isrecommended.3.3.4 Store implants in the operating room in such a manneras to isolate and protect the implants surface, sterility, andconfiguration. Keep implants made of different metals sepa-rated.3.3.5 Store the implants and instruments in the operatingroo
12、m in such a manner as to isolate the instruments from theimplants.4. Handling4.1 Mixing MetalsMaintain orthopedic implants and in-struments of different metals separately to avoid the possibilityof mixing during surgery.4.2 Cleaning and Sterilization:4.2.1 Prior to initial sterilization and promptly
13、 followingeach surgical procedure, thoroughly and carefully clean allinstruments and implants. Ultrasonic cleaners, mechanizedwashers, or hand scrubbing are suitable methods, if carefullydone. The method employed should be utilized to prevent1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee

When hand scrubbing, use soft brushes and avoidharsh chemicals or harsh cleaning solutions.4.2.3 After cleaning, rinse the orthopedic implants andinstruments completely free of all residuals, soap, detergent, orcleaning solutions. Following rinsing, dry them thoroughly.Devote special atte

Follow the recommendations of themanufacturers of such instruments explicitly as to the method,type,
18、and amount of lubricant. Insufficient or excessive lubri-cation can be nearly as disastrous as no lubrication.4.2.5 Carry out sterilization by steam autoclaving or othermethods in a manner that protects the integrity of the implantsand instruments.4.2.6 Sterilize implants and instruments of polymeri

21、damage the implant.4.4.2 It is recommended that metallic orthopedic implantsshould not be sharply bent, re-bent, angulated at a screw hole,notched, or scratched.4.4.3 Reshaping or contouring may cause complete loss ofperformance for instruments. It is recommended that orthope-dic instruments be hand
22、led with care to prevent costly rework-ing or destruction. If modifications are necessary, the instru-ment should not be sharply bent, re-bent, or angulated.4.4.4 Orthopedic instruments in general have a long servicelife, but mishandling or inadequate protection can quicklydiminish the instruments l

Reuse5.1 Avoid the reimplantation of previously implanted ortho-pedic implants.5.2 Trial fitting of an orthopedic implant in a patient,followed by proper cleaning and
24、sterilization if not immedi-ately implanted in the same patient, may not in all instances beconsidered as reimplantation. The user is cautioned that anymechanical alteration of the components (for example, platebending), coating damage, or surface damage (for example,nicks, dents, and scratches) sho
25、uld prevent the device frombeing reimplanted. In addition, certain coatings (porouscoating, hydroxyapatite (HA) may not be able to be recleanedor resterilized, or both, while properly maintaining the integrityof the implant. The user should refer to the manufacturersinstructions for guidance; or, in
26、 their absence, the deviceshould not be reimplanted.6.
