The intention of this meeting is to provide an understanding to TF members of the calibration procedures. Technical discussions will start in January.

This TF group is dedicated to certification corridors only. If different technical problems occur, IG GTR9-PH2 decides whether new TFs will be formed or not.

Chairperson (Atsuhiro Konosu) presented terms of reference for TF-RUCC-K-03. All GTR certification procedures are to be reviewed and to be updated if needed.

Bernard Been: In the current schedule there is no activity of Round Robin testing. We do not want to make the same mistake (rush to make certification corridor with limited data) and must carry out Round Robin, test 10 legs with current material batches from at least 5 labs. Oskar Ries supported this statement.

It was asked when 10 legs could be made available. This would depend on customer co operation when they can they spare legs for testing.

Bernard Been: it is possible to complete round robin in 21 weeks if well managed allowing for transportation and efficient testing, e.g 4 legs at a time.

Carsten Hohmann: how many legs have been made? Mark Burleigh answered 23 customer legs have been built, and 5 prototypes (3 JARI, 2 Humanetics).

Round robin legs should be certified (component and assembly level) at Humanetics before Round Robin testing to ensure consistent spec is present in all legs.

Oliver Zander: can we look at old data and not carry out expensive testing?

Steve Pingston: do we have agreement to shift corridors?

Chairperson: technical details to be discussed later, component level corridors need to be reviewed first.

What are we to achieve by end of March finalization or draft corridors?

Steve Pingston: what is the goal of this task force?

Dr Konosu: The goal of the RUCC is to make desirable corridors and go step by step with confident data, first focus on component level (tibia, femur, knee), then full assembly by end of March if possible.
