Arrow ACAT 2 Wave Features General Converts the highly accurate arterial pressure from the fiber optic IAB catheter, FiberOptixic's series, to Aortic Flow on a beat-to-beat basis. Proprietary WAVE technology automatically inflates IAB to coincide with aortic valve closure. In the presence of an arrhythmia, initiates realtime, automatic R-wave deflation. Aortic Flow timing delivers the first truly intra-beat timing system based on individual patient physiology and virtually eliminating timing errors no matter how erratic the arrhythmia is. 2 modes of operation: Operator and AutoPilot. One button start-up. Full color display with fast inflation and deflation speeds. Bellows / Stepper motor pneumatics with no maintenance required. Automatic scaling of ECG and pressures. Bright, clean display of all parameters, included assisted and unassisted pressures. Arrow ACAT 2 Wave Specifications Design FiberOptix™ capable: AP signal transmitted at speed of light.
