Effect of Corrosion on the Body
• Compatibility
• Tissue response
• Leach rates
• Toxicity
![Page 3: Corrosion Testing for Medical Device Validation. Effect of Corrosion on the Body Compatibility Tissue response Leach rates Toxicity.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516c1bd550346f0208b58e4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Corrosion Testing
Two aspects of in vivo corrosion:
1. How susceptible is implant material to corrosion in vivo?
2. What is the effect of any corrosion (even very small amounts) on the body?

Rest Potential Monitoring
• Addressed by several standards– ISO 16429:2004
• Implants for surgery – Measurements of open-circuit potential to assess corrosion behaviour of metallic implantable materials and medical devices over extended time periods
– ASTM F 2129-06• Standard Test Method for Conducting Cyclic Potentiodynamic
Polarization Measurements to Determine the Corrosion Susceptibility of Small Implant Devices
• Alternative standards– ISO 10271:2001 for dental materials– ISO 10993-15:2000

Cyclic Potentiodynamic Polarization
• Preferred test method– ASTM F 2129-06
• Standard Test Method for Conducting Cyclic Potentiodynamic Polarization Measurements to Determine the Corrosion Susceptibility of Small Implant Devices
• Extract potential data– Rest potential (Er)– Breakdown potential (Eb)
• Alternative test methods– ISO 10271:2001 for dental materials– ISO 10993-15:2000 - not recommended

ASTM F 2129
General Procedure:• Typically performed in saline environment at 37°C
– PBS, 0.9% NaCl, simulated bile, etc.
• Monitor rest potential (Er) for 1 hour
• Potentiodynamic polarization to 0.8 or 1 volt vs. SCE– If breakdown, record potential (Eb)
• Reverse potentiodynamic polarization– record repassivation potential (Ep)
– reformation of the passive layer

Interpreting the Results
• Cyclic Potentiodynamic Polarization– ASTM F 2129-06 is a deliberately aggressive
test– General consensus that no breakdown up to 0.8
V (SCE) will provide sufficient resistance to localized corrosion in vivo
– But if breakdown has been observed• How do we treat the data?• How good is good enough?
![Page 13: Corrosion Testing for Medical Device Validation. Effect of Corrosion on the Body Compatibility Tissue response Leach rates Toxicity.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516c1bd550346f0208b58e4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Interpreting the Results
• Neither ASTM F 2129, nor the FDA (or other regulatory agencies) provide specific guidance as to what constitutes an acceptance criterion
• Two approaches using Eb
– Compare with threshold for ‘optimum corrosion resistance’
• Criterion is independent of material and environment
– Compare with that of a predicate device• Assumes suitable device is available
• The breakdown potential alone, however, is not a good measure of localized corrosion resistance
![Page 14: Corrosion Testing for Medical Device Validation. Effect of Corrosion on the Body Compatibility Tissue response Leach rates Toxicity.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516c1bd550346f0208b58e4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Interpreting the Results
• Er and Eb are not intrinsic properties of a metal or alloy
• For a given alloy, Eb and Er are influenced by - – The environment, e.g., pH, solution chemistry,
temperature– Surface finish, e.g., mechanical polish vs. electropolish– Immersion time
• Eb is also influenced by the test method– Potentiodynamic scan rate– Faster scan rates can increase the measured value of Eb
![Page 15: Corrosion Testing for Medical Device Validation. Effect of Corrosion on the Body Compatibility Tissue response Leach rates Toxicity.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516c1bd550346f0208b58e4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Interpreting the Results
• Consider the gap between the breakdown potential and the rest potential
• Thus, a measure of an alloy’s susceptibility to localized corrosion is given by Eb - Er
• The gap Eb - Er can be used to evaluate both pitting and crevice corrosion for a finished device– Because breakdown will occur at the most susceptible
location whether it be a crevice or a pit-initiation site

Galvanic Corrosion
• Perform ASTM G 71 tests on galvanic couples and individual anodes
• Measure and compare steady corrosion rates (current densities)
• Current increases of more than an order of magnitude are considered signficant
• Also can compare coupled and un-coupled leach rates in longer-term leaching tests
