The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) uses the ASTM F2723 standard to evaluate how mobile bearing knee tibial baseplates respond to bending force conditions. Knee replacements are complex procedures, but over 700,000 patients opt for knee replacement surgery each year. A medical device’s path to the operating table is often a long and complicated one. Fortunately, our highly capable medical device testing supports clients as they prepare their medical devices, materials, and instruments for FDA approval.
What is ASTM F2723?
The American Society for Testing and Materials developed ASTM F2723 as an established test method for experts evaluating the potential for mobile bearing knee tibial baseplates to be disassociated when subjected to repeated forces. The test is effective at evaluating all bicompartmental mobile bearing knees with bearing retention mechanisms. During the testing procedure, technicians apply repetitive loads that mirror the stress the product will endure after years of use. The test is a great way for manufacturers to ensure that their designs are durable and safe for use amongst patients.

Why are ASTM Medical Device Testing Standards Important?
The American Society for Testing and Materials publishes testing standards that help establish uniformity and consistency amongst manufacturers developing medical devices. These standards are an important resource for medical device manufacturers navigating the complex path to earning access to medical device markets. ASTM-compliance offers numerous advantages for manufacturers, as it helps them do the following:
- Improving product quality and safety
- Confirming the biocompatibility of devices
- Boosting patient and medical provider trust in a product
- Simplifying the FDA approval process
