AutoCAT2WAVE IABP

ProActive CounterPulsation Technology featuring the unique WAVE Algorithm

The AutoCAT2WAVE IABP 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^1,2
Reliably anticipates and determines AV closure — before it occurs^3,4,5
98% percent timing accuracy within 12 milliseconds (ms) — even during severe arrhythmias⁴
WAVE Algorithm sets inflation point within the beat, even during arrhythmias^3,4,5
Increases time for coronary perfusion and decreases afterload⁶
AutoPilot Mode delivers simple, touch-of-a-button monitoring of, and response to, physiologic conditions for consistent triggering and timing

AutoCAT 2 IABP

Designed to deliver reliability and ease of use

AutoCAT 2 IABP relies on the AutoPilot Mode of operation to achieve its high level of performance.

Automatically selects ECG/AP signal, sources, trigger mode, and timing method as well as timing settings
Automatically changes settings to optimise assist
Proprietary software sets timing to correspond to individual patient needs
Proprietary deflation timing management
AutoPilot Mode delivers simple, touch-of-a-button monitoring of, and response to, physiologic conditions for consistent triggering and timing
