The Hydraulic Pressure Testers provide critical hydraulic test functions for balloon catheters and components, including tubing and balloons. The HPT-1000 is easily programmable with a high visibility vacuum florescent display and four navigation keys. The system can be programmed to provide a multitude of pressure tests:
- Step tests for burst testing balloons or tubing
- Incremental test with relaxation for balloons and catheters
- Fatigue (cycle) tests with specified number of pressure cycles
- Single pressure tests for balloon loading with
How It Works Programming, along with recall and storage, is performed through menu driven options on the front panel. Parameters include:
- Initial pressure
- Test pressure
- Relaxation pressure
- Incremental pressure
- Cycle high pressure
- Maximum pressure
- Burst pressure drop
- Leak rate
- Settling time
- Hold time
- Total test time
Ramp-rate limit constant pressure (creep test). Operators can choose from an extensive list of parameters to create tests that are appropriate and specific for the devices to be tested.
