Comprehensive Guide to ISO 15621 Mechanical Testing of Bone Cement: A Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ISO 15621 is a widely recognized international standard that outlines the requirements for mechanical testing of bone cement. This standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is applicable to various industries, including medical devices, orthopedic implants, and dental materials.

The ISO 15621 standard is based on the principles of ASTM F2118-04, which provides a framework for testing the mechanical properties of bone cement. The standard also takes into account the requirements of EN ISO 5833:2001, which specifies the requirements for ceramic-ceramic composites used in orthopedic and dental implants.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 15621 is governed by various national and international regulations, including:

  • EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR)

  • US FDA regulations (21 CFR Part 820)

  • ISO 13485:2016 (Medical Devices - Quality Management Systems)

  • EN ISO 14971:2019 (Medical devices - Application of risk management to medical devices)

    • Standard development organizations play a crucial role in the evolution and updating of standards. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and European Committee for Standardization (CEN) are some of the prominent standard development organizations that contribute to the development and maintenance of ISO 15621.

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    The mechanical testing of bone cement is essential to ensure the safety, efficacy, and reliability of orthopedic implants and dental materials. The test is conducted to evaluate the compressive strength, tensile strength, and impact resistance of the bone cement. The consequences of not performing this test can be severe, including:

  • Failure of orthopedic implants or dental materials

  • Compromised patient safety and health

  • Product liability claims

  • Loss of business reputation

    • The industries that require ISO 15621 testing include:

  • Orthopedic implant manufacturers

  • Dental material suppliers

  • Medical device companies

  • Research institutions

    • Risk factors associated with bone cement mechanical testing include:

  • Inadequate sample preparation

  • Incorrect testing equipment or instruments

  • Insufficient quality control measures

  • Inadequate data analysis and interpretation

    • The quality assurance and quality control aspects of ISO 15621 testing are critical to ensuring the accuracy and reliability of results. The test contributes significantly to product safety and reliability by:

  • Evaluating the mechanical properties of bone cement

  • Identifying potential defects or weaknesses

  • Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements

    • Conducting ISO 15621 testing provides competitive advantages, including:

  • Compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Improved product safety and reliability

  • Enhanced customer confidence and trust

  • Market positioning as a leader in quality and innovation

    • Test Conditions and Methodology

    The mechanical testing of bone cement involves the following steps:

    1. Sample preparation: The bone cement samples are prepared according to the standard, including casting, curing, and machining.

    2. Testing equipment and instruments: The test is conducted using specialized equipment, such as universal testing machines or impact testers.

    3. Testing environment: The test is performed in a controlled environment, with specific temperature, humidity, and pressure requirements.

    4. Data analysis: The results are analyzed and interpreted according to the standard.

    The measurement and analysis methods used in ISO 15621 testing include:

  • Compressive strength testing

  • Tensile strength testing

  • Impact resistance testing

  • Data analysis software (e.g., Excel or MATLAB)

    • Test Reporting and Documentation

    The test report is a critical document that outlines the results of the mechanical testing. The report should include:

  • Test summary

  • Results and data tables

  • Conclusion and recommendations

  • Calibration and validation certificates

  • Accreditation information

    • The certification and accreditation aspects of ISO 15621 testing are essential to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Eurolab is accredited by various national and international bodies, including the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the European Coordinating Bureau for Quality Assurance in Healthcare (EQAS).
