7、1 has been prepared under the direction of the Health Care Standards Policy Committee. It is identical with ISO5838-3:1993 Implants for surgery Skeletal pins and wires Part3: Kirschner skeletal wires, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Requirements for orthopaedic
8、 implants (then termed “surgical implants”) were first published in1962 as BS3531. In1968 a part revision of BS3531:1962 was issued as BS3531-1, which dealt with surgical implants made of all materials. In1980 the first four Parts of a multi-Part version of BS3531 were published. A further19 Parts o
9、f BS3531 were subsequently published, Part6:1982, which is now withdrawn, giving requirements for skeletal pins and wires. As a result of the development of so many disparate Parts of BS3531 and because of the anticipated need to implement a number of published and forthcoming ISO standards that wou
10、ld have increased the diversity of BS3531 still further, it was decided that BS3531 should be restructured as five distinct standards which would enable the various aspects to be clearly differentiated. BS3531 itself was limited to standards specific to implants for osteosynthesis and its title chan
11、ged accordingly. Four new standards were published, incorporating Parts of BS3531 as well as new ISO standards. These are: BS7251, Orthopaedic joint prostheses. BS7252, Metallic materials for surgical implants. BS7253, Non-metallic materials for surgical implants. BS7254, Orthopaedic implants. Gener
12、al requirements for skeletal pins and wires are published as BS3531-6.1. It is strongly recommended that the products specified in this Section of BS3531-6 should be manufactured according to the recommendations given in Quality Systems for Orthopaedic Implants1990 Good Manufacturing Practice 1) . T
13、he Technical Committee has reviewed the provisions of ISO5838-1:1983, to which normative reference is made in the text, and has decided that they are acceptable for use in conjunction with this standard. A related British Standard to ISO5838-1:1983 is BS3531-6.1:1990 which, as well as specifying gen
14、eral material and mechanical requirements, makes additional provision for skeletal pins, skeletal wires, guide wires, fixation and thread pins and wires. Product certification. Users of this British Standard are advised to consider the desirability of third party certification of product conformity
15、with this British Standard based on testing and continuing surveillance which may be coupled with assessment of a suppliers quality systems against the appropriate Part of BS5750. Enquiries as to the availability of third party certification schemes are forwarded by BSI to the Association of Certifi
16、cation Bodies. If a third party certification scheme does not already exist, users should consider approaching an appropriate body from the list of Association members.
