ISO 14708-3 Mechanical Strength of Neurostimulators Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ISO 14708-3 is a globally recognized standard that governs the mechanical strength testing of neurostimulators. This standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is part of the ISO 14708 series, which covers the safety and performance requirements for implantable neurostimulators.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The use of neurostimulators in medical procedures is regulated by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 14708-3:2019 - Implantable neurostimulators - Part 3: Mechanical strength
  • ASTM F1641-18 - Standard Test Method for Compression Testing of Implantable Neurostimulator Leads
  • TSE IEC 60601-1:2013 - Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance
  • International and National Standards

    Eurolab adheres to the following international standards:

  • ISO/IEC 17025:2018 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
  • ISO 9001:2015 - Quality management systems - Requirements
  • ISO 13485:2016 - Medical devices - Quality management systems - Requirements for regulatory purposes
  • Standard Development Organizations

    The following organizations are involved in the development and maintenance of standards related to neurostimulators:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
  • European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC)
  • How Standards Evolve and Get Updated

    Standards evolve and get updated through a continuous process that involves:

    1. Review of existing standards to ensure they remain relevant and effective.

    2. Identification of new technologies, materials, or techniques that require updates to existing standards.

    3. Development of new standards to address emerging issues or requirements.

    4. Implementation of changes and updates to existing standards.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following standard numbers are relevant to ISO 14708-3 Mechanical Strength of Neurostimulators testing:

  • ISO 14708-3:2019 - Implantable neurostimulators - Part 3: Mechanical strength
