Validated Simulation Testing That Gives Real World Results.
Validation of virtual mechanical test for the prediction of screw performance in
Sawbones® polyurethane foam in accordance to ASTM F543 standard.
Insertion Torque
Insertion torque measurement into virtual Sawbones® block according to ASTM F543-A2
Axial Pullout Strength
Pullout force measurement from virtual Sawbones® block according to ASTM F543-A3
Sawbones® and Numalogics have worked collaboratively to develop accurate virtual models (Finite Element Models) of a standardized biomechanical test for orthopedic screws. ASTM F543, established by the American Society for Testing & Materials, is the specific standard that describes how orthopedic metallic screws are tested for performance. The standard specifies the use of polyurethane foam to act as bone surrogate, of which Sawbones® is the global standard.
The virtual model can be viewed as a virtual bench test whereby any metallic screw can be inserted into a virtual Sawbones® polyurethane foam block and tested according to ASTM F543. The validation results of the model show that physical testing performed in real life, is accurately represented in the virtual test. This suggests that orthopedic implant designers and manufacturers can now design and test screws at a much lower cost and faster pace, as the prototyping phase can be shortened. Furthermore, the model offers a comprehensive evaluation of screw performance and valuable insights into bone damage mechanics to give opportunities for improvement.

To ensure models are verified and validated, Numalogics is an active member of the ASME V&V 40 committee.
Confidentiality
In our terms and conditions, we stipulate the following:
- To use your Confidential Information solely to provide computational modeling and simulation testing services.
- To receive and hold all such Confidential Information in strict confidence and to disclose it within its own organizations to designated individuals who need to know such Confidential Information for the testing services.
- To hold in strict confidence, and not to disclose the Confidential Information, directly or indirectly to any other party.
- To protect Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care as normally exercised in protecting its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than reasonable care.

Data Security
To exchange information with our customers, we use Onehub. After your order is placed, you will receive an email from sawbones@numalogics.com to set up your access to a unique & secure shared folder. Only the customer and Numalogics have access to this unique & secure shared folder. This folder will be named according to the sales order confirmation number (SO-XXXXXX). If you do not see this email in your inbox, please verify your email spam folder.
Once testing is complete, customers will receive email notification to view and download results from the same folder. To further protect the customer’s information, Onehub will automatically delete all contents within the folder 30 days after this email notification.
BANK-LEVEL SECURITY
Onehub uses the same 256-bit encryption and physical security policies as banks for the most secure cloud storage experience. Multiple methods are used to keep data secure, both in transit and at rest. Using SSL, every communication is sent over a secure, encrypted connection. The service is monitored 24/7, and their practices are verified by VeriSign.
ENCRYPTED BACKUPS
Onehub automatically creates encrypted backups of the data using 256-bit encryption. With multiple redundancies and regular integrity assessments using checksums, if any flaws are found, the system automatically repairs them using redundant data.
ALWAYS COMPLIANT
Onehub maintains security protocols in place for organizations to remain HIPAA compliant. Through the relationship with Amazon Web Services, Onehub data is stored with SSAE 16 certification and PCI DSS Level 1. Additionally, the service encrypts data in transit and at rest, enables a complete audit trail, and provides granular role-based permissions.
