Intended Use
The Cardeon Cobra Catheter is indicated for use in open chest surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass up to 6 hours. It is used to cannulate the aorta and provide hypothermic arch perfusate and normothermic corporeal perfusate.
Device Story
Cobra Catheter is a vascular cannula for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures. Device inserted into aorta by cardiac surgeons in OR; facilitates selective perfusion by delivering hypothermic perfusate to the aortic arch and normothermic perfusate to the rest of the body. Operates within standard extracorporeal perfusion circuits. By enabling independent temperature control of the brain/arch versus the body, the device aims to preserve cerebral autoregulation during cardiac surgery. Clinical benefit demonstrated through maintenance of adequate venous oxygen saturation and temperature differentials. Output is physical delivery of blood flow; monitored via standard clinical practices including arterial line pressures and temperature sensors.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evidence includes feasibility and randomized clinical studies. Primary endpoints focused on safety and effectiveness, specifically the delivery of adequate venous oxygen saturation and the ability to maintain differential temperatures to preserve cerebral autoregulation. Results indicated the device functions as intended and performs comparably to predicate arterial return devices.
Technological Characteristics
Externally communicating vascular catheter for limited contact (up to 6 hours) with circulating blood. Designed for aortic cannulation in CPB circuits. Features directed flow capability for selective perfusion of the aortic arch and distal thoracic aorta. Biocompatible materials validated per 21 CFR Part 58. No electronic components, software, or energy sources.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing open chest surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for up to 6 hours. Used to cannulate the aorta to provide separated perfusion of the arch and distal thoracic aorta with optional temperature differential.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A cardiopulmonary bypass vascular catheter, cannula, or tubing is a device used in cardiopulmonary surgery to cannulate the vessels, perfuse the coronary arteries, and to interconnect the catheters and cannulas with an oxygenator. The device includes accessory bypass equipment.

| Classification / Code: | Class II / DWF |
Indications for Use: The Cardeon Cobra Catheter is indicated for use in open chest surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass up to 6 hours. It is used to cannulate the aorta and provide hypothermic arch perfusate and normothermic corporeal perfusate.
Summary of Substantial Equivalence: The Cobra Catheter is substantially equivalent to currently marketed devices used to directly cannulate the aorta and return perfusion to patients undergoing general cardiac surgery. Perfusion is achieved through standard connections to the extracorporeal circuit. ). Intended use and indications for the subject and predicate devices are substantially equivalent for arterial return during CPB. Substantial equivalence is also supported through comparison with several marketed devices with the same indications for use, including arterial return cannulae with directed flow (i.e., specified flow patterns). Directed flow is a feature offered by devices cleared through premarket notification and currently marketed for CPB and peripheral vascular thrombectomy. Selective perfusion systems have been reported on extensively and safely used for over two decades. These selective perfusion systems utilize predicate cannulae and standard perfusion circuitry for cooling the brain independently from the rest of the body. Arterial line pressures, nasopharyngeal and rectal temperatures, radial arterial pressures, oxygen saturation, etc. are standard clinical practices for monitoring the patient used in predicate selective perfusion systems. Technological characteristics (design and materials) of the Cobra Catheter are substantially equivalent to arterial return devices currently marketed for CPB. Differences between the Cobra Catheter and currently marketed devices do not substantially alter arterial return during cardiopulmonary bypass.
Substantial equivalence with regard to safety and effectiveness has also been Product Testing: demonstrated through standardized in vitro and in vivo tests as well clinical study.
The Cobra Catheter is an externally communicating device in limited contact with circulating blood. Tests were conducted and inspected in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice Regulation, 21 CFR Part 58. Based on the test results, the Cobra Catheter is biologically compatible, non-toxic and safe for use in limited contact (up to 6 hours) with circulating blood.
{1}------------------------------------------------
In vitro and in vivo testing was designed to ensure device structural integrity, key device functionality and ease of use. Device in vivo performance was evaluated using standard surgical techniques and und case. Dor cardiopulmonary bypass and patient monitoring. Test results provided a high degree of confidence that the Cobra Catheter function as intended. Many of the tests allowed direct comparison to currently marketed devices.
Clinical studies were conducted to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Cobra Catheter. Feasibility and randomized clinical studies demonstrated that adequate venous oxygen saturation was delivered with differential temperatures indicating the preservation of cerebral autoregulation. Thus, the Cobra Catheter is substantially equivalent to predicate arterial return devices with regard to intended use, technological characteristics and device performance.
