Dimensional Attributes

A contactless optical gauging machine is used to measure dimensional attributes of the device.

Test Procedure

A contactless optical gauging machine is used to measure dimensional attributes of stent and related devices; undeployed and at several deployment diameters.

This may include measurements such as:

Functional Length: Measure the maximum length of device that will effectively be inserted in the body.

Nominal Diameter: The length of the device tip is measured using a calibrated optical system with 5 micrometers accuracy that does not require contact.
