EVALUATION AND TESTING

AOK commenced its Swiss ball development and testing program in 1996. The University of Newcastle was
selected because of its international reputation in materials testing. Testing protocols have been developed
which are considered the best in the world for inflatable PVC products.

Since then mediBall®, MaxBall™ and DuraBall™ have
been tested to ensure product consistency and evaluate
new manufacturing protocols. These Swiss Balls have
variously supported static loads well in excess of 4,000
kilograms with burst-resistance to a load of 500 kg. This
does not mean “puncture proof” but protects you from
explosive deflation. Burst resistance means AOK Swiss
balls are designed to take approx 30 secs to deflate if
accidently punctured. We also test for deflation under
load and durability.

Important Safety Notice

No Swiss, Therapy or Exercise Ball is 100% safe as it
is not possible to test every single ball. By having an
ongoing Quality program in place AOK endeavours to
reduce the risk of ball failure. We pre-inflate and
inspect every ball we make and have achieved
exceptionally low numbers of faulty balls. Over the
past 5 years we have had a return rate of less than
0.2% - this compares with 10%-15% of some
European and Asian balls. It is critical that the user
care for the balls they use - much like maintaining a
car tyre. The more hours of use and abuse it gets - the
shorter its life. This is especially so in a commercial
environment where there is little supervision this may
be reduced to 3 months or less. This is result of the
balls being kicked around and striking sharp edges,
which damages the inner surface of the skin - not
always apparent from the outside. These leave
resulting fracture lines which may totally reduce its
burst resistant qualities.
