In the development of vascular medical devices, the ability to reproduce realistic physiological conditions is a key success factor. As regulatory requirements become more stringent and development cycles accelerate, the need for precise, reproducible, and fully controlled testing environments has never been greater.
To address these challenges, we are proud to introduce the GMS PulseLab 500, a high-precision pulsatile testing platform designed for advanced in vitro validation of medical devices and fluidic systems.
Reproducing physiological conditions in the laboratory
The GMS PulseLab 500 accurately simulates cardiovascular pressure conditions using programmable pulsatile signals. Engineers and researchers can generate sinusoidal, custom, or physiological waveforms to faithfully replicate real vascular environments.
With a programmable pressure range of 10 to 500 mbar and frequencies up to 35 Hz, the system adapts to a wide variety of test scenarios—from standard physiological conditions to the most demanding dynamic profiles.
Combined with integrated temperature control at 37°C ±1°C, the PulseLab 500 ensures highly realistic and reproducible testing conditions.
A versatile solution for a wide range of applications
The GMS PulseLab 500 has been designed to support a broad spectrum of applications within the medical and fluidic ecosystem:
- Validation of stents, grafts, and endoprostheses
- Testing of catheters and implantable devices
- Fatigue and durability testing under cyclic pressure
- Validation of microfluidic systems
-
Production testing and quality control
Its ability to test up to 8 samples in parallel significantly optimizes testing time and productivity.
From testing to intelligent analysis
Beyond simulation, the GMS PulseLab 500 integrates advanced data acquisition and defect detection capabilities.
The system enables:
- Leak and micro-leak detection
- Identification of non-conformities
-
Analysis of dynamic behavior under pressure
Custom algorithms and AI-based approaches can also be integrated to automate analysis and improve decision-making.
Smart control powered by GEMS
The test bench is fully controlled by the GEMS software platform developed by Gemesis.
This integration enables:
- Full automation of test sequences
- Creation of custom scenarios
- Real-time data acquisition and visualization
- Advanced result analysis
- Complete test traceability
Specific algorithms have also been developed to automatically detect defects and classify products as compliant or non-compliant.
Accelerating development while reducing in vivo testing
By combining realistic physiological simulation, automation, and data intelligence, the PulseLab 500 enables:
- Faster development cycles
