Intended Use
The Portaclamp® Flex is indicated to clamp the aorta during minimally invasive cardiac surgery implying the usage of an extra-corporeal circulation.
Device Story
Portaclamp® Flex is an aortic clamping device for minimally invasive cardiac bypass procedures. System components include a flexible guide wire, two jaws, and a detachable, reusable sliding metallic mandrel with a manual grip. During surgery, the flexible guide wire assists in positioning the two jaws on either side of the aorta through a thoracic port. The mandrel is then slid along the jaws to compress them, effectively clamping the aorta. The mandrel can be removed after clamping and reattached as needed; the proximal portion of the jaws can be bent out of the way to improve surgical access. The device is operated by a surgeon in an operating room environment. It provides mechanical occlusion of the aorta to facilitate extra-corporeal circulation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and design comparison.
Technological Characteristics
System comprises two flexible jaws, a flexible guidewire, and a reusable sliding metallic mandrel. Jaws are single-use/disposable. Clamping is achieved via mechanical compression of the jaws around the aorta using the sliding mandrel. The device is designed for insertion through a thoracic port. No electronic components, software, or energy sources are utilized.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery requiring extra-corporeal circulation where aortic clamping is necessary.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A vascular clamp is a surgical instrument used to occlude a blood vessel temporarily.

| Device Description<br>and Statement of<br>Intended Use | The Portaclamp® Flex is an aortic clamping device composed of a<br>detachable, reusable handle and a single-use, disposable clamp. It is<br>designed to be used through a standard thoracic port to clamp the aorta<br>during minimally invasive cardiac bypass procedures. The Portaclamp<br>Flex consists of a flexible guide wire, two jaws that are passed over the<br>guide wire and positioned on each side of the aorta, and a mandrel that<br>is slid along the length of the jaws to compress the jaws and clamp the<br>aorta.<br>The Portaclamp® Flex is indicated to clamp the aorta during minimally<br>invasive cardiac surgery implying the usage of an extra-corporeal<br>circulation. |
| Summary of<br>Technological<br>Characteristics | The Portaclamp® Flex system consists of two separate flexible jaws to<br>be positioned on either side of the aorta with the help of a supplied<br>flexible and straight guidewire, and a sliding metallic mandrel integrating<br>a manual grip to secure the jaws. The sliding mandrel consists of 2<br>detachable elements, it is delivered separately from the jaws and guide<br>wire, and it is reusable. |
