Development of a Coring Test for Non Coring Huber Needles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Design of an Experimental Test System to Investigate Parameters Affecting Distal Tip Loads of Pacemaker and Defibrillator Leads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to design and evaluate a system to test the mechanical behavior of pacemaker and defibrillator leads. Over 300,000 pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) procedures are ...
Pacemaker and Defibrillator Lead Tip Interactions in Porcine Cardiac Tissue and Tissue Substitute on the Bench1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Performance Testing of Fast Read Digital Thermometers1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
A Novel In Vitro Testing Approach for the Next Generation of Transvenous Cardiac Leads: Buckling Behavior
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Manufacturers are constantly seeking to design new, better performing transvenous cardiac leads to prevent perforation of the heart by the lead tip. Currently, there is no standardized test method to measure the buckling ...
An Investigation of the Geometric and Surface Finish Features of Co–Cr–Mo Hip Taper Junction Designs1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Evaluating Accuracy of Digital Thermometers Using a Tissue Phantom Mimicking Normal and Fever Environments1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Specimen-Specific Finite Element Models for Predicting Fretting Wear in Total Hip Arthroplasty Tapers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Products from fretting wear and corrosion in the taper junction of total hip arthroplasty (THA) devices can lead to adverse local tissue reactions. Predicting damage as a function of design parameters would aid in the ...
Identifying Critical Design Parameters for Improved Body Temperature Measurements: A Clinical Study Comparing Transient and Predicted Temperature Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Readily available store brand, or “home,” thermometers are used countless times in the home and clinic as a first diagnostic measure of body temperature. Measurement inaccuracies may lead to unnecessary medical visits or ...
