Valve loader method, system, and apparatus

A system comprising:

• a valve loader comprising:
• an outer housing structure having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end comprises a cavity;
• a first open cavity located between the proximal and distal ends;
• and
• a loading plunger slidably received within a lumen of the proximal end, the loading plunger comprising:
• an operable portion that extends outside of the outer housing structure;
• and
• a loading pin at a distal end, the loading pin comprising:
• a distal end having a length including a first cross-sectional dimension;
• a proximal end having a flange embedded within the loading plunger;
• and
• a proximal section extending out of the loading plunger and including a second cross-sectional dimension, the second cross-sectional dimension being greater than the first cross-sectional dimension;
• a deployment apparatus configured to be received within the cavity of the distal end of the outer housing structure;
• and
• a cartridge configured to house a deployable medical device and configured to be received within the first open cavity, and
• wherein distal movement of the loading plunger causes the loading pin to direct the deployable medical device into the deployment apparatus when the deployable medical device is received within the cavity of the distal end of the outer housing structure, and wherein the first cross-sectional dimension prevents the loading pin from engaging anchor struts of the deployable medical device once fully inserted into the deployment apparatus.
