Dynatek Labs CDT-20 - Manual (Page 3)

Designed to take your product beyond regulatory compliance to real patient safety
Particle characterization drives stent
design
An optional filtration system for the CDT-20 is available, featuring
a separate filter for each stent sample. The particles shed by
each stent are captured by individual downstream filters, allowing
you to chemically characterize them. Chemical characterization
of particles sheds light on potential toxicity and provides vital
information that affects coating and stent design.
“…if you’re not counting particles in real time,
you’re not getting the full picture…”
Deflection monitoring that exceeds
current regulatory standards
The CDT-20 can monitor the tube deflection of up to 20 stents
serially with a laser micrometer that actively measures the real-
time outer diameter of the selected mock artery as it undergoes
deflection. For the most accurate picture of stent deflection,
however, we recommend the optional high-speed camera. The
high-speed camera tracks two digital points on the stent and the
relative distance between the markings will change as the mock
vessel hosting the stent expands and contracts, providing critical
stent deflection data. With the CDT-20, you will be compliant with
the requirement of upcoming regulations that mandate observation
of actual stent deflection.
