AWT System

Heart Valve Prosthesis
Accelerated Wear Testing with

AWT-V8 system with Dual Control Technology (DCT)™

The ViVitro AWT-V8 System is a fully software-controlled instrument with a proprietary user-friendly interface to control and maintain AWT test conditions specified in ISO 5840.

Features
  • Fully software-controlled standalone test modules for user-friendly, easy system handling – up to 6 independent standalone modules for advanced study control and monitoring.
  • Validated and proprietary software interface
  • Independent settings and controls for each standalone test module, including stroke amplitude and bypass valve control for target differential pressure adjustment, test frequency, % of cycle meeting ISO requirements and total number of passing cycles
  • Individual test module parameter displays for live data overview: passing cycles count, operating frequency, fluid temperature, peak to peak differential pressure, % of cycles meeting pressure target, total number of passing cycles and more
  • Continuous and/or periodic data monitoring and records in compliance with ISO 5840 Accelerated Wear Testing (AWT) and Dynamic Failure Mode (DFM) requirements
  • Easy control and settings navigation between test modules
