2.4 Service life

These prosthetic components were tested by the manufacturer
through 3 million load cycles. This would correspond to a maximum
service life of 5 years for an adult's prosthesis. A general service life
cannot be determined for these prosthetic components when used as
part of a child's prosthesis since the strain varies widely depending
on the intensity of use.
