Comprehensive Guide to ISO 14630 Fatigue Testing of Medical Devices Laboratory Testing Service

ISO 14630 is an international standard for fatigue testing of medical devices, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This standard specifies the requirements for fatigue testing of medical devices, including implants and instruments, to ensure their safety and performance.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 14630 is governed by various national and international standards, including:

  • ISO 10993-4: Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 4: Selection of tests for interactions with blood

  • ASTM F2008: Standard Guide for Fatigue Testing of Medical Devices

  • EN ISO 7206-5: Surgical implants Partially stabilized zirconia ceramics Part 5: Implantable screws and other fasteners made from partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) ceramic

  • TSE EN ISO 13485:2016 - Medical devices - Quality management systems - Requirements for regulatory purposes

    • These standards are developed and maintained by organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and European Committee for Standardization (CEN).

    Standard development organizations, such as ISO, ASTM, and CEN, play a crucial role in creating and maintaining international standards. These organizations bring together experts from various industries to develop and revise standards.

    Standards evolve over time due to advances in technology, changes in regulations, or new requirements. For example, the latest revision of ISO 14630 includes updates on testing methods for implants made from titanium alloys.

    Specific standard numbers and their scope are:

  • ISO 14630:2013 - Fatigue testing of medical devices

    • Scope: Specifies requirements for fatigue testing of medical devices to ensure safety and performance

  • ASTM F2008-14 - Standard Guide for Fatigue Testing of Medical Devices

    • Scope: Provides guidance on fatigue testing of medical devices, including implants and instruments

  • EN ISO 7206-5:2014 - Surgical implants Partially stabilized zirconia ceramics Part 5: Implantable screws and other fasteners made from partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) ceramic

    • Scope: Specifies requirements for implantable screws and other fasteners made from PSZ ceramic

    Standard compliance is required by various industries, including medical devices, aerospace, and automotive. Compliance with these standards ensures that products meet specific requirements for safety, performance, and durability.
