The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) conducts cyclic fatigue tests for total knee joint replacements in accordance with the ASTM F1800 standard.
What is ASTM F1800?
The American Society for Testing and Materials developed ASTM F1800 as an outline for experts evaluating the fatigue performance of the metal tibial tray components used in total knee joint replacements. The standard details the practices and procedures needed to properly simulate the loading conditions experienced by tibial trays that cover the lateral plateaus and medial of the tibia. The ASTM F1800 standard is effective at evaluating the fatigue performance of tibial trays. It is instrumental in developing new designs that improve the performance of critical components of total knee joint replacements.

Why is It Important to Conduct Fatigue Tests on Medical Devices?
Medical device manufacturers rely on fatigue tests to evaluate and validate the effectiveness, functionality, and longevity of their medical devices. Modern testing technologies enable mechanical testing labs to simulate cyclic stresses that accurately reflect the stresses that implants endure while being used by a patient. The information gathered from these tests is important because it allows manufacturers to address any potential flaws or concerns that may cause discomfort for patients or issues related to compliance with regulatory requirements.
