Areferee analysis may be used if agreed upon by supplier andpurchaser.7.2.4 For referee purposes, use Test Methods E2371,E 1409, and E 1447 or other analytical methods agreed uponbetween the purchaser and the supplier.
23、7.3 Samples for chemical analysis shall be representative ofthe material being tested. The utmost care must be used insampling titanium for chemical analysis because of its affinityfor elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen.

41、rostructural requirements contained in thisspecification represent current general consensus with respectto optimization of mechanical properties for implant applica-tions.X1.3 The minimum mechanical properties specified ensurea baseline of strength and ductility for the highly stresseddevices for w
42、hich this alloy is typically used.X1.4 The stress corrosion cracking resistance of this alloyis similar to that of titanium 6 aluminum 4 vanadium ELIalloy.X1.5 ISO Standards are listed for reference only. Althoughstandards listed in section 2.3 are similar to the correspondingASTM standards, they ar

BIOCOMPATIBILITYX2.1 The suitability of this material from a human implantperspective is dependent on the
45、 specific application. Thebiological tests appropriate for the specific site, such asrecommended in Practice F 748 should be used as a guideline.A summary of the in vitro and animal testing that has beenperformed as of the approval date of this specification isprovided in X2.3.X2.2 No known surgical
46、 implant material has ever beenshown to be completely free of adverse reactions in the humanbody. The alloy composition covered by this specification,however, has been subjected to testing in laboratory animals,and has been used clinically for more than a decade (ifappropriate). The results of these
47、 studies indicate a well-characterized level of local biological response that is equal toor less than that produced by the reference material unalloyedtitanium (see Specification F 67) that has a long history ofsuccessful clinical application in soft tissue and bone implantsin humans.X2.3 As of the
48、 time of the original approval of thisspecification, this titanium alloy material had a limited historyof clinical use in humans. An extensive series of in vitro andanimal studies had been performed as follows, comparing thebiological response to that of a reference material. These testswere conduct
49、ed to support the usage of this material in surgicalimplant devices In all cases, the results indicated that thismaterial was no more reactive with the environment than thereference material.X2.3.1 Acute systemic toxicity by mouse injection,2X2.3.2 Cytotoxicity by agar overlay,2X2.3.3 Hemolytic potential by direct exposure,2X2.3.4 Dermal sensitization by guinea pig maximization,2X2.3.5 Mutagenicity by the Amestest (saline and DMSOextracts),2andX2.3.6 Response to particulate debris (release of IL-1, IL-6,and PGE2in cell culture and ex-vivo histology ra
