M6™
Exceptionally Capable Heart Valve Tester from the Market Leader
Dynatek Labs is proud to offer the M6™ Heart Valve Tester, the industry benchmark for over 30 years. The
benchtop M6™ is a powerful platform for in vitro heart valve substitute durability protocols that form a
critical component of heart valve feasibility testing, design verification and validation.
… with the versatility to test everything from heart valves and LVAD bladders
Powerful Versatility in a Compact Unit
The M6™ can evaluate the widest range of heart valve-related samples
for durability and failure mode analysis or testing to failure:
• Heart Valves
• Septal Defect Closures
• Artificial Heart Bladders
• Membranes/Sheets
• Sutures/Clips
• Intra-aortic Balloons
• Transcatheter Valves
Lowest cost of ownership
The M6™ features a clear acrylic Flow Chamber Head with six custom-
designed Valve Test Chambers that host the valve test samples. The
Valve Test Chambers are radially arranged in the Flow Chamber Head
and each is served by a single channel that allows the test fluid to flow
through. The entire Flow Chamber head, the Test Valve Chambers
and the fluid supply channels are CNC-machined from a substantial
block of clear cast acrylic offering complete visibility of fluid flow and
sample status at all times. Silicone O-rings ensure that the Valve Test
Chambers remain completely leak-proof.
Below the Flow Chamber Head, one bellow made of a proprietary alloy
is mated to each Valve Test Chamber with a silicone O-ring seal. The
bellows sit on the pistonless Swash Plate Drive system. As the Swash
Plate ‘rotates’, the bellows are compressed or extended causing fluid
to flow through each Valve Test Chamber. This allows for test fluid
to be driven into the Valve Test Chambers, enabling hydrodynamic
testing of the test valve in each chamber.
The valve test chamber is custom designed, based on your valve
requirements.
