Abstract
Accelerated testing apparatuses for implants are described, as well as methods for accelerated testing implants. The accelerated testing apparatus includes a cabinet having multiple bays and a vessel insertable and removable from any of the multiple bays. The vessel includes a watertight basin, a radio-frequency (RF) transparent lid configured to mate with the basin, and a plurality of fixtures within the vessel. Each fixture is adapted to anchor a device-under-test while submersed within the vessel. The accelerated testing apparatus also includes a reservoir disposed within the cabinet, a heater connected with the reservoir, a pump configured to circulate liquid between the reservoir and the vessel, an antenna within the cabinet for communication with the device-under-test, and at least one computer server operatively connected with the antenna.
