Endovascular
Simulator
testing & training
The ViVitro Endovascular Simulator creates physiological pulsatile flow and pressures for testing many types of cardiovascular devices and can be used for any portion of the cardiovascular system.
Our vascular flow platform brings physiological pulsatility to anatomical models for research and development. The simulator can easily be reconfigured for bench top, cath lab or portable cart installation.
The Endovascular Simulator addresses requirements of ISO 5840, ISO 25539, and ISO 7198 standards as they include simulated use guidelines.
Control a live cardiac flow in a standalone configuration. Using the ViVitro SuperPump, the Endovascular Simulator’s programmable waveform system delivers physiological pulsatile flow. Test a variety of endovascular medical devices and delivery systems by adding anatomical models, including abnormalities or custom patient-specific models.
Simulated-use testing
Use the ViVitro Endovascular Simulator to demonstrate that devices can be delivered and deployed in a safe, consistent and accurate manner within the intended implant site and with intended use conditions.
Endovascular simulation training
The Endovascular Simulator offers a clinically relevant practice model for physicians. Visible anatomy provides feedback while navigating anatomical structures and abnormalities that may be encountered during actual procedures.
Physicians sharpen their skills and increase their confidence in a safe and realistically simulated environment. Learning a delivery system while experiencing physiological pulsatile flow and pressures encountered when maneuvering stents, catheters, wires, balloons, heart valves and other endovascular devices instills invaluable feedback.
The ViVitro Endovascular Simulator is cited in numerous research studies throughout the world. Visit our Citation Database for the current list of applications and articles.

Ex Vivo Simulator
Product Codes: 29348: Ex Vivo System Bundle / 10647: SuperPump System / 25654: Compliance Assembly 30146: Accessories / 30543: Tray Assembly
The Ex Vivo Simulator uses a ViVitro Labs SuperPump to generate physiological flows in an excised heart for bench top testing. The system can model either the left or right heart, or two systems can be combined to generate a four chamber model.
Features:- The Ex Vivo beating heart combines clinical anatomical similarity with controllable physiological flow and pressure signatures for bench top testing. This results in repeatability and ease of use, and anatomical and functional performance previously only found in animal models.
- Access sites at the arteries, atrium and apex allow for the insertion of catheters and other devices. Optional pressure transducers and data acquisition system acquire the arterial, ventricular and atrial pressures and a flow meter measures the cardiac output of the simulator.
- Investigate valve movement with an endoscope or ultrasound. Pathological states such as low ejection fractions and high beat rates can be simulated with the heart via the SuperPump. Degenerative and functional mitral regurgitation can be simulated by severing the mitral chords and pressurizing the left ventricle, respectively.
Heat Exchanger
Heat Exchanger Product Code: HE9991
The ViVitro Heat Exchanger allows heating of test fluid with minimal interference of the fluid flow.

Interchangeable Components
SuperPump pulsatile pump
The most widely used computer-controlled pump for cardiac flows. The ViVitro SuperPump that powers the Endovascular Simulator is also the foundation for ViVitro’s Pulse Duplicator and Real Time Wear Tester. The SuperPump can be operated independently with any type of cardiac flow loop. The SuperPump provides pulsatile flow from 3 to 200 Beats per Minute and up to 15 Litres per Minute output. A Pump Head facilitates circulatory flow using two valves.Product Code: 10647
