Salient Characteristics: 1. Device must utilize fiber-optic IABP and catheter system that automatically calibrates in the patient after insertion and automatically recalibrates in vivo every 2 hours or sooner, should the patient or environmental conditions change. 2. Device must utilize the Sensation Plus 50cc IAB to be utilized with the CardioSave IABP. The Sensation Plus is the only 50cc IAB that can be used on patients 5'4" and up. This IAB provides increased hemodynamic support. 3. Must have lithium ion batteries which offer potentially unlimited run-time with spare batteries. 4.

Services must be performed on-site by certified technicians, including scheduled preventative maintenance. 10. Balloon pumps must be helium pressure based. 11.
