TAVR Valve Durability Testing
Application Summary
When one of your heart valves fail, you want the replacement to be able to endure the rigors of the human body. TAVR and TVMR valves need to have the durability and reliability to remain in a patient indefinitely. Durability, in this case, is survival at extremely high blood pressures, since the last thing the patient or the doctor wants is the valve to fail during a cardiac event. To accomplish this, a load cell is placed between a linear actuator and a syringe piston that is pumped down forcing fluid into a small pressure vessel allowing the system to hold at a constant pressure.
