Accu-Test HVT

The High Voltage Spark Tester  (HVT) provides fast, accurate detection of metal-reinforced catheter shafts or coated guidewires. The catheter shaft detection machine features a wide product test range, optional automatic feeding and sorting, as well as detecting and reporting the location of those exposed wires (damaged or thin insulation on braided catheters and guidewires) even when flaws are microscopic. This coated guidewire inspection system can remedy difficult and error-prone manual visual inspection scenarios with safe, fast, sensitive, and repeatable automatic electronic testing.

 

SYNEO’s HVT performs a fast, repeatable high voltage pass/fail test that identifies damaged lengths of catheter shafts, even when the flaws are microscopic. Pinholes, cuts or otherwise damaged sections are quickly discovered and alerted to the operator for remdiation.

Key Features
