1、Designation: F 2423 05Standard Guide forFunctional, Kinematic, and Wear Assessment of Total DiscProstheses1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2423; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last
2、 revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide is intended to provide guidance for thefunctional, kinematic, and wear testing of total disc prosthesesand, to
3、 this end, describes test methods for assessment of thewear or functional characteristics, or both, of total discprostheses.1.2 Both lumbar and cervical prostheses are addressed.1.3 Load and kinematic profiles for lumbar and cervicaldevices are not identical and, therefore, are addressed sepa-rately
4、 in the guide.1.4 Partial disc replacements, such as nucleus replacementsor facet joint replacements, are not intended to be addressed.1.5 Wear is assessed using a weight loss method in a testingmedium as defined in this guide.1.6 This guide is not intended to address any potentialfailure mode as it
5、 relates to the fixation of the implant to itsbony interfaces.1.7 It is the intent of this guide to enable comparison ofintervertebral disc (IVD) prostheses with regard to kinematic,functional, and wear characteristics when tested under thespecified conditions. It must be recognized, however, that t
6、hereare many possible variations in the in vivo conditions. A singlelaboratory simulation with a fixed set of parameters may not beuniversally representative.1.8 In order that the data be reproducible and comparablewithin and between laboratories, it is essential that uniformprocedures are establish
7、ed. This guide is intended to facilitateuniform methods for testing and reporting of data for total discreplacement prostheses.1.9 Without a substantial clinical retrieval history of IVDprostheses, actual loading profiles and patterns cannot bedelineated at the time of the writing of this guide. It
8、thereforefollows that the load and motion conditions specified by thisguide do not necessarily accurately reproduce those occurringin vivo. Rather, the maximum loads and motions specified inthis guide represent a severe and therefore conservative casefor testing the wear properties of IVD prostheses
9、. Because ofthis, a substantially greater rate of wear may be realized thanthat which may occur during the routine daily activities of atypical patient. It should be noted, however, that a fullcharacterization of a candidate IVD prosthesis should includetesting under both typical and extreme conditi
10、ons.1.10 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard with the exception of angular measurements, whichmay be reported in either degrees or radians.1.11 This guide is not intended to be a performance stan-dard. It is the responsibility of the user of this guide tocharacterize the
11、safety and effectiveness of the prosthesis underevaluation.1.12 This standard does not purport 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-b
12、ility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Significance and Use4.1 This guide can be used to describe the function, kine-matics, and wear behavior of IVD prostheses subjected tocyclic loading/motion for relatively large numbers of cycles(for example, various designs of IVD prosthe
35、ses, as well as theeffects of materials, manufacturing techniques and other designvariables on one particular design can be studied using thisguide).4.2 This guide is intended to be applicable to IVD prosthe-ses that support and transmit motion by means of an articulat-ing joint or by use of complia
36、nt materials. Ceramics, metals, orF2423052polymers, or combination thereof, are used in IVD prosthesisdesign, and it is the goal of this guide to enable a kinematicwear comparison of these devices, regardless of material andtype of device.5. Apparatus5.1 Total Disc Prosthesis ComponentsThe total dis
37、c re-placement may comprise a variety of shapes and configura-tions. Some known forms include ball and socket articulatingjoints, biconcave joints having a free-floating or semi-constrained third body, metallic endplates bonded to elastomercores, and single-axis hinge joints.5.2 Spinal Testing Appar
38、atus:5.2.1 Test ChambersIn case of a multispecimen machine,each chamber shall be isolated to prevent cross-contaminationof the test specimens. The chamber shall be made entirely ofnoncorrosive components, such as acrylic plastic or stainlesssteel, and shall be easily removable from the machine forth
39、orough cleaning between tests.5.2.2 Component Clamping/FixturingSince the purposeof the test is to characterize the wear and kinematic function ofthe IVD prosthesis, the method for mounting components inthe test chamber shall not compromise the accuracy of assess-ment of the weight loss or stiffness
40、 variation during the test.For example, prostheses having complicated superior andinferior surfaces for contacting bone (for example, sinteredbeads, hydroxylapatite (HA) coating, plasma spray) may bespecially manufactured to modify that surface in a manner thatdoes not affect the wear simulation.5.2
41、.3 The device should be securely (rigidly) attached at itsbone-implant interface to the mating test fixtures.5.2.4 The motion of the superior test fixture relative to theinferior testing fixture shall be unconstrained in three-dimensional space except for the components in the directionof specified
42、test motions/loads.5.2.5 Load and Motion (components in Table 1 and Table2):5.2.5.1 An axial preload is to be a compressive load appliedin the direction of the negative Z-axis. Deviations from this asthe IVD moves from its initial position are to be reported asshear components FX, FY, and moments MX
43、and MY.5.2.5.2 Flexion load and motion are positive moment, MY,and rotation about the y-axis.5.2.5.3 Extension load and motion are negative moment,MY, and rotation about the y-axis.5.2.5.4 Lateral bend load and motion are positive andnegative moments, MX, and rotations about the x-axis.5.2.5.5 Torsi
44、onal load and motion are positive and negativemoments, MZand rotations about the z-axis.5.2.6 FrequencyTest frequency is to be determined andjustified by the user of this guide, and shall not exceed 2 Hzwithout adequate justification ensuring that the applied motion(load) profiles remain within spec
45、ified tolerances and that theIVD prosthesis wear and functional characteristics are notsignificantly affected. See 6.1.5.5.2.7 Cycle CounterOne complete motion is the entirerange from starting position through the range of motion (orload when in load control) and returning to the starting position(l
46、oad). Cycles are to be counted using an automated countingdevice.6. Reagents and Materials6.1 Testing Medium:6.1.1 A solution containing bovine serum diluted to aprotein concentration of 20 g/L in deionized water shall beused as the testing medium.6.1.2 To retard bacterial degradation, freeze and st
47、ore theserum until needed for test. In addition, the testing mediummay contain 0.2 % sodium azide (or other suitable antibiotic/antimycotic) to minimize bacterial degradation. Other lubri-cants should be evaluated to determine appropriate storageconditions.6.1.3 It is recommended that ethylene-diami
48、netetraaceticacid (EDTA) be added to the serum at a concentration of 20mMto bind calcium in solution and minimize precipitation ofcalcium phosphate onto the bearing surfaces. The latter eventhas been shown to affect the friction and wear propertiesstrongly, particularly of polyethylene/ceramic combi
49、nations.The addition of EDTA to other testing media should beevaluated.6.1.4 The bulk temperature of the testing medium shall bemaintained at 37 6 3C, unless otherwise specified.6.1.5 The user is cautioned that internal heating of theprosthesis may cause localized temperatures to fall outside the37 6 3C of the testing medium. Internal local temperaturesmay depend on a number of factors, including but not limitedto joint friction, material hysteresis, conductivity of the device-fixture materials, design, and test frequency.
