The CS300 intra aeortic balloon pump with Intellisense combines fast signal acquisition with automatic in vivo calibration and rapid inflation and deflation speeds while the patient is being tested. The information gathered by the model CS300, the speed by which it is gathered, and the fact that adjustments can be made automatically and without clinical intervention should the patient's condition change, means the patient will be able to begin therapy much sooner than has traditionally been the case. The unit features single-button start up and automatically sets the timing and the optimum lead and trigger source.
