Sensofar Q vix

All-in-One Automated Inspection for Stents & Heart Valves

The Sensofar Q vix is a complete hardware-and-software solution for the inspection of stents and heart valves in production environments. With built-in advanced illumination, flexible loading, and automated defect detection, it enables high-throughput, fully traceable quality control of implantable devices.

Key Features

  • Flexible multi-illumination ring: Supports hundreds of combinations of up to seven high-intensity light sources, including bright-field and grazing setups, to detect tiny defects—even at low magnification.

  • Hardware and software synergy: Designed for samples up to ~34 mm OD (including peripheral and neurovascular stents), and capable of unattended operation with software transitioning from assisted to fully automatic decision making.

  • SensoINSPECT software: Produces unrolled images of outer, inner and lateral surfaces, and extracts dimensional measurements (strut width, edge radius, wall thickness) with high repeatability—± 1 µm RMS typical.

  • Rapid dimensional and visual inspection: Real-time results enable operators to make fast “accept/reject” decisions, reducing manual inspection time and cost.

Applications & Industries

PH51-01W-Q-vix-prespective-view-2

Ideal for medical device manufacturers in:

  • Cardiovascular implants (coronary stents, drug-eluting stents, peripheral stents)

  • Heart valve frames and complex implant geometries

  • Neurovascular devices With full optical metrology and defect detection capabilities, Q vix supports stringent production and regulatory requirements.

Automated Imaging & Analysis

From loading the device, configuring illumination, acquiring multi-surface data, to full unrolled image reconstruction, Q vix performs comprehensive inspection. SensoINSPECT analyses results, flags out-of-tolerance dimensions, detects defects and exports traceable reports (CFR21 Part 11 compliant).

Why Choose Q vix?

  • Combines precision optical metrology and automated defect detection in one platform.
  • Streamlines inspection workflows for high-volume medical device production.
  • Delivers traceable results, supports regulatory compliance, and reduces inspection cost.
