HiCycle
Durability
Tester

The ViVitro HiCycle Durability Tester is used to determine the durability of replacement heart valves and other cardiac devices under physiological loading for R&D and regulatory submissions.

With the Hitest Data Acquisition System, operators can monitor pressure and collect data according to ISO 5840 standards.

The HiCycle system uses an electrodynamic motor driving six pistons within fluid-filled, temperature-controlled chambers to move the device rather than the fluid. This results in higher energy efficiency and stable fluid flow. The devices can be cycled at accelerated rates up to 1,800 cycles/minute (30 Hz)”.

Clear viewports allow imaging of the device during testing, and pressure ports allow monitoring of the dynamic pressures upstream and downstream of the device.

Each test chamber is independent of the others to offer testing flexibility.

The ViVitro HiCycle Durability Tester is cited in numerous research studies throughout the world.   Visit our Citation Database for the current list of applications and articles.
