InterTech provides complete test solutions for a wide range of catheter types, including multi-lumen catheters, using high-speed, highly accurate testing instruments. The MED75y dual-channel system sequentially leak and flow tests each lumen of a catheter in under 2 seconds, ensuring fast, reliable quality control.
Features
-
High-capacity testing: Up to 12 single-lumen catheters simultaneously, with each channel supporting 1–6 catheters and each catheter containing 1–6 lumens.
-
Precision leak testing: Each lumen is sequentially tested to a 5 sccm accept limit at 15 psig.
-
Flow testing: Each lumen is sequentially flow tested to a 500 sccm accept limit at 1.5 psig.
-
Adjustable tooling plates: Accommodate varying catheter lengths for flexible production setups.
