• Flow and pressure readings can be collected and analyzed in real-time, meeting ISO 5840 requirements
• Controls pulsatile fluid flows to simulate various cardiac flow conditions including arrhythmia, normal, hypo and hypertensive states at an assortment of cardiac outputs and beat rates
• Transducer sites allow measurement of wall pressures in the atrium, ventricle, and aortic outflow tract
• Flow can be measured directly at the aortic or mitral valve positions
• Flow can be measured directly at the pulmonary and tricuspid valve positions
• Simulates cardiovascular peripheral resistance and compliance
• Thin acrylic windows permit echo imaging, Doppler flow measurements, and PIV for interrogation of flow field regions
• Allows hydrodynamic testing of heart valve replacements in order to assess mechanical and hemodynamic performance
• Ventricle membrane to replicate the natural chamber flow
• Accessories are available for testing other implantable cardiac devices including Occluder and Closure Devices.

*We recommend connecting the Flow Meter to a different circuit than the Heat Bath. The Flow Meter is a sensitive measurement instrument and the large Heat Bath current draw can cause minor disturbances in the flow measurements when the heater switches on.
