Utilizing MSI’s simulated use testing equipment, the IDTE, following stepped parameters that control and record insertion/withdraw- distance, speed, and delay MSI Labs quantitatively collect forces required to track a catheter or device through a tortuous path that mimics challenging in vivo physiologic/anatomic conditions.
Standard test methods include:
- Simulated use
- Lesion cross-ability force
- Push efficiency
- Catheter-guide wire compatibility
- Flexibility/kink force
- Bifurcation “kissing” stent force
- Insertion force measurement
- Preconditioning cycles

- ISO 10555
- ISO 25539
- ISO/TS15539
- ASTM F2394
