WELCOME TO A BREAKTHROUGH IN IABP THERAPY
Teleflex’s Arrow International brand of innovative IABP therapy — called ProActive CounterPulsation — enables you to provide 98% inflation timing accuracy during IABP support — even when patients have severe arrhythmias1,2.
AutoCAT2 WAVE relies on a unique combination of FiberOptix sensor technology, aortic flow timing, proprietary WAVE software and the AutoPilot mode of operation to achieve its high level of performance — even in patients with severe arrhythmias.
• Speed-of-light AP signal transmission overcomes delays of fluid-filled systems
• Reliably anticipates and determines AV closure — before it occurs
• 98% timing accuracy within 12 milliseconds (ms) — even during severe arrhythmias
• WAVE algorithm sets inflation point within the beat, even during arrhythmias
• Increases time for coronary perfusion and decreases afterload
• AutoPilot mode consistently maintains triggering and timing — Proprietary Best Signal Scoring software brings automaticity to a new level of
reliability
WHAT IS PROACTIVE COUNTERPULSATION?
ProActive CounterPulsation is the unique ability of the AutoCAT2 WAVE® system with FiberOptix® catheter technology to proactively anticipate individual AV closures before they occur and provide accurate inflation timing as well as triggering, even during severe arrhythmias. Don’t settle for traditional “predictive timing” — get proactive with ProActive CounterPulsation.
THE ANATOMY OF PROACTIVE COUNTERPULSATION
Arrow FiberOptix Catheter
Captures and transmits the high-fidelity AP signal at the speed of light, overcoming the delays seen with traditional fluid-filled AP signal systems
Proprietary WAVE® Algorithm
The brain of the pump calculates aortic flow based on the AP signal from the FiberOptix catheter for each beat rather than historic data from previous beats
Unique Aortic Flow Timing
Proactively determines AV closure with 98% inflation timing accuracy during IABP support — even when patients have severe arrhythmias1,2
AutoPilotTM Mode of Operation. Delivers simple, touch-of-a-button monitoring of, and response to, physiologic conditions to ensure consistent triggering and timing
