DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR SIMULATING BLOOD FLOW

摘要

A device for simulating blood flow including an anatomical unit and a waveform generator for generating waveforms. The waveform generator includes a pump capable of pumping a fluid through at least one fluid line and thereby transmitting the waveform from the waveform generator through the fluid line. The waveform generator further includes a bifurcation point capable of splitting the fluid line into additional fluid lines, where the fluid lines include a main line and a parallel line. Additionally, the waveform generator includes valves capable of at least partially occluding fluid flow. The device further includes a reservoir capable of housing the fluid, where the waveforms enter and exit the anatomical unit and the waveform generator through the fluid lines simulating blood flow.
