WAVE
= Windkessel Aortic Valve Equation
• The “WAVE” is what drives the
Arrow AutoCAT 2 WAVE system.
• Unique timing equation is
responsible for improving accuracy
and providing the heart with
enlightened counterpulsation
therapy.
• The Arrow Auto CAT2WAVE and
LightWAVE Catheter System will
support all of your patients with
unprecedented accuracy, even those
with severe arrhythmias.
The Revolutionary LightWAVE IAB Catheter
has Fiber Optic technology that
significantly enhances IAB performance.
A Fiber Optic Arterial Pressure signal
contains an abundance of information
like well known solid-state sensors such
as Millar and Sentron.
The extraordinary accuracy of the
Arterial Pressure signal combined
with the ‘speed of light'
transmission eliminates the
limitations and delays of a
traditional fluid filled Arterial
Pressure system.
The Arterial Pressure information
contained in the Fiber Optic signal
is converted to Aortic Flow by the
AutoCAT 2 WAVE
pump console
using the unique WAVE
physiologically based timing
algorithm.
