We were able to get heat to dissipate through the stent but tested it with a lower temperature heat source than what we plan to test next. For possible heat sources to test next, we found soldering tools, high voltage resistors, and a heating pad. We are planning on testing the best heat source as soon as possible. We were able to test the durability of the stent in terms of the pressure its ability to withstand.
We have been making progress on our V&V report, deciding on next steps for our validation and verification tests.
We plan to meet with Dr. Klaesner on Monday to go over some questions we had about the V&V report. We started writing the report this past week.
