Open-licensed · ISO & FDA-referenced

Instruments

Hardware that sits on your bench rather than inside your device. Test fixtures designed to ISO and FDA-referenced standards, a testing machine you can build and maintain yourself, and programmable stimulation gear that replaces a closed commercial console.

Each fixture ships with a validated test protocol and reference data. You're not just buying a rig, you're buying a test method.

Kink Test Mandrel Set — Fixed Pin
DC-1001 Available

Kink Test Mandrel Set — Fixed Pin

4×4 base plate with a fixed pin gage for kink resistance testing per FDA guidance. One pin diameter per test; the collet set holds pin gages of different diameters, so you change the bend diameter by swapping the pin rather than the fixture.

Standard: FDA-recommended kink test method
Kink Test Mandrel Set — Stepped
DC-1002 Available

Kink Test Mandrel Set — Stepped

6×6 base plate with a stepped mandrel, giving a graduated series of bend diameters in a single part. Find the diameter at which a device kinks without swapping pins between runs.

Standard: FDA-recommended kink test method
Kink Compliance Fixture
DC-1003 Available

Kink Compliance Fixture

Flat-plate kink fixture for compliance with BS EN 13868. Universal screw mount fits most universal testing machines on the market.

Standard: BS EN 13868
Multi-Radius Kink Track
DC-1004 Available

Multi-Radius Kink Track

Block of U-shaped tracks at graduated radii, with a clear top plate for visual inspection. The groove supports the catheter wall the way a vessel or guide sheath would, and lets you test short or stiff distal segments.

Standard: FDA-recommended
Universal Testing Machine
DC-4001 In design

Universal Testing Machine

Open-licensed universal testing machine for tensile, compressive, and flexural testing. Suitable for 3-point bending per ASTM D790-17 and ISO 10555 mechanical tests.

Standard: ASTM D790-17 · ISO 10555
DC-6002 Available

OpenStim Core EVB

Evaluation board for the OpenStim Core ASIC. Programmable, charge-balanced stimulation with on-chip impedance sensing — a flexible bench source in place of a fixed-waveform commercial console.

Standard: Full datasheet · SPI register map · firmware library
Interface Reference Load
DC-6003 In design

Interface Reference Load

Randles-circuit reference load for characterising stimulation output against a known electrode-tissue equivalent, without an animal or a saline bath.

Standard: Randles equivalent circuit
