Interface Catheter System Model LMS-100 is a bench-top measurement system designed specifically for catheter balloons. The system offers a non-contact solution to the typical problems encountered in the dimensional measurement of catheter balloons. By integrating the holding, pressurizing, and movement of the balloon with cutting edge, non-contact measurement technologies reliable and accurate easurements can be made. There is no variability and inaccuracy caused by contact of the measurement device on the soft and compliant balloon.

The Rotary Drive is one of two holding and movement fixtures which mount to the Axial Motion Drive. The Rotary drive was designed for holding a balloon with variable inflation pressure and rotating in upon its axis. As the rotation occurs, the entire fixture can be moved incrementally across the measurement window of the Laser Micrometer. In this way the diameter across the entire working length of the balloon can be determined.
LMS-100W
The Heated Water Bath is the other of the two holding and movement fixtures. As the name implies, the fixture holds up to four liters of water and incorporates a long heater cartridge along the length of the bath at the bottom. A balloon holding arm with sealing clamp retracts from the top of the bath and can hold a balloon or other workpiece of up to twelve inches in length. The sides of the fixture are of optical grade glass and allow the laser or LED light to pass. The heater cartridge is powered and controlled by the System Controller Unit. The balloon is inflated with a water media controlled by the Model PT-3070, which is in turn given commands from the System Controller Model.
LMS-100C
The System Controller Unit provides all interfacing with the non-contact measurement system, the Microsoft Windows™ personal computer, and the optional Model PT-3070 Hydraulic Pressure Tester and WMS-350 Water Measurement System. The controller employs microprocessor controlled positioning motors, temperature control for a heated water bath and gas pressure generation.
