This test method does not, however, prescribe methods for assessing the mechanical characteristics of the device in translation (for example, anterior/posterior translation), though this type of linear motion may be clinically relevant. 1.6 Inorderthatthedatabereproducibleandcompar

It is the responsibility of the user of this test method to characterize the safety and effectiveness of the device under evaluation. 1.9 The values stated in
12、 SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. Multiple test methods are included in this standard. However, it must be noted that the user is not obligated to test using all of the described methods. Instead, the user should only select test
13、methods that are appropriate for a particular device design. In most instances, only a subset of the herein described test methods will be required. 1.10 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard with the exception of angular measurements, which may be reported in either degre
14、es or radians. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1 This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F04 on Medical and Surgical Materials and Devices and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F04.25 on Spinal Devices.
