The input labeled BALLOON connects the IAB’s helium supply line to the AutoCAT ® Series. The AutoCAT 2 Series accepts Arrow International’s electronically-coded ® balloon connectors, which automatically set pumping volume to match the balloon’s maximum volume capacity. This connector also limits the amount of helium which can be delivered to the IAB to the IAB’s maximum volume.

Page 91: Trigger Selection In Operator Mode
ECG Triggering: In general the R wave is used as the trigger source, since it usually has a more consistent morphology than other patient signals. There are 5 ECG trigger modes on the AutoCat 2 series IABP’s. The criteria for each is described in detail in Section 3.3. CAUTION Do not use V Pace trigger mode with A Paced rhythms, improper timing may result.
