I, Frederick J. Hirt, certify that:

      1.  I have reviewed this Annual Report on Form 10-K of Arrow
          International, Inc.;

      2.  Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
          statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
          necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
          circumstances under which such statements were made, not

      3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
          financial information included in this report, fairly present in
          all material respects the financial condition, results of
          operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the
          periods presented in this report;

      4.  The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible
          for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
          procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
          15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as
          defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the
          registrant and have:

          (a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
              disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
              supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
              registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
              to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
              period in which this report is being prepared;

          (b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
              such internal control over financial reporting to be designed
              under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
              the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
              financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
              generally accepted accounting principles;

          (c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
              controls and procedures and presented in this report our
              conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
              procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report
              based on such evaluation; and

          (d) Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
              control over financial reporting that occurred during the
              registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth
              fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has
              materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
              the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

      5.  The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed,
          based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
          financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
          committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons
          performing the equivalent functions):

          (a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
              or operation of internal control over financial reporting which
              are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability
              to record, process, summarize and report financial information;
              and

          (b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
              other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
              internal control over financial reporting.
