The AutoCAT®2 Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) and AC3™ Series Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) arc clinically indicated for use for the following conditions: 1. Acute Coronary Syndrome 2. Cardiac and Non-Cardiac Surgery 3. Complications of Heart Failure

The AutoCAT Series IABP System, including the AutoCAT®2 and AC3™ Series IABP's, provide counter-pulsation therapy to adult patients with impaired left ventricular (LV) function. They provide hemodynamic support of blood pressure and reduced cardiac work through volume displacement principles. The IABP is attached to an intra-aortic balloon (IAB) catheter which is inserted into the femoral artery and positioned in the descending thoracic aorta. The IABP delivers helium (He) into the IAB catheter during diastole to displace blood above and below the IAB. increasing blood pressure and perfusion to organs close to the IAB catheter. The IABP deflates or removes He from the IAB catheter just prior to or in the early phase of systole, reducing the pressure in the aorta and therefore the LV must generate to open the aortic valve and eject its contents into the circulatory system. This results in a decrease in work and oxygen demand. The AutoCAT Series IABP Systems consists of two main components: - The pump control/display module which incorporates a touch screen and keypad for . system operation, and - . The pneumatic drive module which is incorporated into the body of the device The AutoCAT Series IABP are designed to be used with 30, 40 and 50cc IAB catheters with the appropriate connectors. The primary difference between the AutoCAT®2 IABP and AC3TM series IABP is the user interface, where the display is a touchscreen.

The FIBEROPTIX IAB Catheter with the Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump as a control system is clinically indicated for use in any of the following conditions: 1. Acute Coronary Syndrome 2. Cardiac and Non-Cardiac Surgery 3. Complications of Heart Failure

The FiberOptix® Intra-Aortic Balloon (IAB) Catheter consists of an inflatable balloon, which is placed in the aorta to improve cardiovascular functioning. A computerized control system, also known as Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) is utilized to regulate the inflation and deflation of the balloon. The FiberOptix® IAB Catheter consists of an inner lumen, an outer lumen, and an inflatable balloon. The outer lumen is comprised of an inflatable balloon connected to the distal tip of the catheter shaft and to the IAB catheter tip outer surface. The inner lumen is comprised of a luer adapter connected to the proximal end of the inner lumen and to the IAB catheter tip inner surface. The FiberOptix® IAB Catheter has a fiber optic pressure sensor which acts as a pressure transducer embedded in the catheter tip.
