What is it indicated for?
There are no changes to the intended use of the IABP for which a 510(k) was approved in October 1992 [510(k) number K915580]. The balloon pump is an electromechanical system used to drive intra-aortic balloons. It provides temporary support to the left ventricle via the principle of counterpulsation. The intra-aortic balloon is placed in the descending aorta, just distal to the left subclavian artery. Once the balloon is positioned, the pump is adjusted to trigger in synchrony with the ECG or arterial pressure waveform to ensure that inflation and deflation occur at the appropriate points during the cardiac cycle.
