The Arrow^® FiberOptix^™ Technology, the world's first fiber-optic IAB catheter, has been proven in thousands of patients. It is also the only one that works with the unique components of the AutoCAT^®2 WAVE^® IABP to deliver ProActive CounterPulsation^®. Arterial Pressure signals will go with the speed of light to the pump giving a clean and fast AP signal that will benefit IABP support to the patient.

• Consistent AP signal: Transmits better information faster
• Unaffected by dampening, noise, and movement; will not degrade over time
• No maintenance of fiber-optic signal
• No electrical interference from cautery
• No transducer-induced motion artifact
• Back-up safety for AP signal: Should it be required, the FiberOptix^™ Technology can be used as a traditional fluid-filled catheter
• Abrasion-resistant: The Cardiothane^® II Membrane offers a unique design of abrasion resistant material with hydrophilic coating
• Universal design: Sheathed or sheathless insertion options; optional hemostasis device for post-insertion bleeding control

• The accurate, real-time advantages of FiberOptix^™ Technology is available only when the catheter is used with the AutoCAT2WAVE^® Pump Console. However, FiberOptix^™ Technology can be used as a conventional catheter with any IABP, ensuring continuity and ease in cases of patient transfer.
