The cumulative radiation dose is 90kGy. Following the sequential irradiation and annealing, the outer 1-3 nun of material was removed, and components were machined and packaged for gas plasma sterilization (Sterrad 200, Advanced Sterilization Produces, Irvine, Cahfomia, USA). Material produced by the sequential irradiation and annealing process was named X3 and introduced for acetabular components in May 2005. Over the following year, X3 tibial and patella components were introduced for cruciate retaining (CR) and posterior stabilized (PS) TKR. In 2008, total stabilizer (TS) components in X3 became available.

In that particular study [77], the knee implant tested in both methods was the very cruciate-retaining TKR design for which the displacement-control inputs (kinematics) were originally devised [74, 75].
