Dear Colleagues:

I am thrilled to announce the launch of a revolutionary, self-regulating heart valve durability tester, the ViVitro Labs Heart Valve Durability Tester with ADC™ technology (https://vivitrolabs.com/product/adc-heart-valve-durability-tester/).

A multidisciplinary team of mechanical, electronic, and software engineers spent more than 3 years in R&D developing the device, drawing upon extensive experience in the field of cardiovascular device testing. The team incorporated feedback from industry leading cardiovascular device companies, start-ups, universities, testing labs, and consultants throughout the process.

The ViVitro Labs Heart Valve Durability Tester received enthusiastic praise during preliminary product evaluation demonstrations over the past 10 months from companies including Medtronic, Edwards, Abbott, and Boston Scientific.  

Independent standalone architecture with true independent test modules

• “The truly independent nature of each station means downtime could be much less.”
• “I like dealing with the modularity. Distinct units that are separate and don’t communicate with each other. You’re not loading up the whole thing and can have 1 or all 6 going.”
• “Impressed by the standalone architecture. It’s great for early-stage R&D when samples are scarce."

Chamber size and visibility

• “I appreciate the visibility of the valve, the side views, and the visual from top and bottom.”
• “You can see all 6 chambers at the same time. In one look, you know if anything is wrong.”
• “I like the idea of having this chamber we could modify or put different things into.”

Less manual interaction saves time

• "I like how its under pressure and doesn’t need a static head to be refilled constantly."
• "Easy machine to setup and run considering I did not have much training."

ViVitro Labs Business Development Manager, Douglas Bigrigg, Product Development Manager, Rob Fraser, and Director of Innovations and Technology, Ian Chen, will be on hand to demonstrate the ViVitro Labs Heart Valve Durability Tester with ADC™ technology and discuss Cardiovascular Medical Device Testing Services and Custom Cardiovascular Testing Equipment. Stop by our booth (#542) at TCT 2022 or send us an email to arrange a meeting.
