ViVitro Labs offers industry-leading cardiovascular test equipment and related laboratory testing and consulting services with facilities in Victoria BC, Canada, and Marseilles, France. Hundreds of organizations in over 39 countries for over 40 years have trusted ViVitro expertise, accuracy, and quality for their heart valve, LVAD, TAH, stent, and graft testing. ViVitro Laboratory Services holds ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation based on ISO 5840. ViVitro Labs products are manufactured by StarFish Medical in Victoria, Canada. ISO 17925 accreditation for Marseille, France and Victoria, Canada labs. The ViVitro SuperPump is a digitally controlled, hydraulic piston pulsatile pump that creates physiological cardiac flows. The ViVitro Pulse Duplicator system is the world’s most widely cited and most used in-vitro cardiovascular hydrodynamic testing system. The ViVitro AWT System with Dual Control Technology (DCT™) is an innovation in fatigue testing of heart valve prosthesis that will help valve developers push the envelope of medical device technology. It uses two separate position feedback sensors and algorithms to maintain constant leaflet closing velocities across the entire AWT cycling period. Piston displacement and bypass valve position are controlled independently to meet differential pressure requirements while preserving initial leaflet closing velocities. The combined action of both feedback sensors forms our Dual Control Technology, DCT™. The ViVitro Endovascular Simulator creates physiological pulsatile flow and pressures for testing many types of cardiovascular devices. It addresses requirements of ISO 5840, ISO 25539, and ISO 7198 standards as they include simulated use guidelines. ViVitro Labs provides contract performance testing services on finished goods to cardiovascular device manufacturers using recognized or unrecognized methods and equipment for regulatory and non-regulatory testing purposes.
