Clear Arterial Waveforms
- Fidelity’s large pressure lumen transmits clear arterial waveforms for optimal augmentation analysis. These pressure waveforms closely resemble the true pressure waveforms generated by a Millar catheter.¹
Trackability
- The polymer shaft construction of Fidelity blends strength and flexibility to insert and easily navigate within the vasculature.
Uncompromised Gas Shuttle Performance
- Fidelity’s strong catheter construction coupled with co-lumen shaft design provides quicker inflation/deflation times when deployed in tortuous vessels
- Inflation/deflation values in a vessel with an 80 degree bend:
Fidelity = 446 msec
Competitor = 501 msec
Longer Insertable Length
- One advantage of Fidelity and other Datascope 8Fr. IAB catheters is the insertable length; Datascope catheters offer the longest insertable length available on the market today.¹
Catheter Shaft Design
- Fidelity’s co-lumen shaft design efficiently performs helium gas exchanges. Our co-lumen catheter design allows for a large helium gas passage area, minimizing the drag surface and optimizing counterpulsation therapy.¹
0.025" Guidewire
- Fidelity’s large lumen accommodates 0.025" 3mm J PTFE guidewire. This guidewire’s design mimics the construction of larger guidewires used in standard percutaneous procedures.
Smooth Transition Between Balloon and Catheter Shaft
- To help reduce the risk of bleeding, Fidelity is carefully constructed to ensure there is no step down between the catheter shaft and balloon material.¹
