Coating Durability Tester

Dynatek’s patented* Coating Durability Tester utilizes a Hyper Drive linear motor to produce an adjustable bellows compression which allows for physiologically relevant stent loading conditions for up to 5 test samples from physiological to accelerated testing rates of up to 150Hz.

Dynatek’s laser particle detection system allows accurate real-time counting, sizing, and data logging of shed particles from each drug-eluting stent during testing, giving a time course of shed particulates from each sample.

Features and Capabilities

• FDA accepted with appropriate documentation.
• Ability to test up to 5 samples simultaneously under precisely controlled test parameters. **
• Ability to test samples of varying sizes of the same design at the same precisely controlled test parameters.
• Patented* system used to detect and identify, in real time, the number and size of shed particles from each sample.
• Advanced universal controller with unmatched data collection ability.
• Data logging to a TDMS file which can be accessed by Excel or other software such as DIAdem and Matlab, for managing, analyzing, and reporting the test data collected.
• Universal controller allows for future expansion of the CDT-5 system to accommodate future host computer technology.
• Future upgrades with advance SCADA technology allow
• Unique redundant filtration system that allows for filter changes without test interruption.
• Frequency, temperature, and pressure controls give the user the ability to establish, maintain, and recall required test parameters.
• Ability to monitor sample tube pressures at all test frequencies.
• Long life electromagnetic Hyper Drive linear motor.
• Design allows for easy access to test samples.
• Future upgrades with advance SCADA technology allow complete lab monitoring of all machines from a single host computer.
