Method for testing prosthetic heart valve leaflet using apparatus
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11980547B2) discloses a method for testing prosthetic heart valve leaflets using a specialized apparatus. The method involves placing the leaflet across a horizontal bar supported by a vertical post and activating the apparatus to move the bar vertically, emit a beam of light, measure the elevation of the bar above the beam, and generate a detection signal indicative of the beam detection. The apparatus includes a linear actuator, a light source, a gauge, and a detector to facilitate the testing process efficiently.
Furthermore, the patent claims detail additional features such as the orientation of the bar extending laterally away from the post, the adjustability of the light source to direct the beam horizontally through the bar-plane, and the presence of a platform with a guide for positioning the leaflet accurately. The method also involves the use of a clamping element, such as a rod and a spring, to clamp the leaflet to the bar securely during testing. These features aim to provide a comprehensive and precise testing process for prosthetic heart valve leaflets, ensuring accurate results and reliable performance evaluation.
