Intended Use
Intended for femoral venous and arterial access during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Edwards Lifesciences Femoral Access Cannulae are intended for use in situations which require rapid femoral venous and arterial access for short-term (≤ 6 hours) cardiopulmonary bypass. Vessel access (venous or arterial) is left to the discretion of the physician. Femoral access cannulae may be used in pediatric populations or adult populations based on flow rate requirements and individual patient anatomy. Please consult labeling to determine pressure drop related to flow rates. Extracorporeal circuit components with a Duraflo coating are intended for use in cardiopulmonary surgery when a heparin coated blood path is desired. Caution: Federal law (U. S. A.) restricts this device to sale by, or on the order of, a physician.
Device Story
Wire-reinforced thin-wall polyurethane or PVC cannulae; designed for femoral venous drainage or arterial perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Features include tapered tips for insertion, incremental depth markings, and optional radiopaque barium stripes for visualization. Supplied with solid or hollow dilators to facilitate percutaneous insertion over guidewires (up to 0.038"). Some models include Duraflo heparin coating for blood path biocompatibility. Used in clinical settings by physicians; provides access for extracorporeal circulation. Device facilitates bypass procedures; helps maintain patient hemodynamics during surgery.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence based on identical technological characteristics and design to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Wire-reinforced polyurethane or PVC cannulae; tapered tips; radiopaque barium stripes; Duraflo heparin coating (optional). Dimensions vary by size/length. Supplied with solid/hollow dilators. Sterile, non-pyrogenic.
Indications for Use
Indicated for pediatric and adult patients requiring rapid femoral venous or arterial access for short-term (≤ 6 hours) cardiopulmonary bypass. Use is at physician discretion based on flow requirements and patient anatomy.
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.

# Device Description:
The Edwards Femoral Access Venous and Arterial Cannulae with/out Duraflo® coating are wire-reinforced thin-wall polyurethane or PVC cannulae. The wire reinforcement is intended to prevent kinking during use. The clear proximal section of the cannula is unreinforced for clamping and terminates in either a barbed connector for 1/4" or 3/8" tubing connection.
The cannulae are available on various sizes and lengths. Each cannula is furnished with one, or in some cases two, dilator(s). In the case of cannulae supplied with two dilators, one is solid and the other is hollow. The hollow dilator will pass over guidewires up to 0.038" (0.97 mm) in diameter. The guidewire, when used, facilitates percutaneous insertion under direct visualization. The cannulae tips are tapered for easy insertion.
Some cannulae feature incremental depth markings to aid in proper placement and positioning. Some versions have, as an additional aid to placement, the clear tip section of the cannula

contain two radiopaque barium stripes for visualization. Edwards Femoral Access Cannulae are intended to provide a means of draining the blood flow (venous), or perfusing blood into the body (arterial) of a patient during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. Each Edwards Lifesciences device is packaged sterile and non-pyrogenic in a sealed, peel-type pouch.
#### Intended Use:
Intended for femoral venous and arterial access during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
### Indications For Use:
Edwards Lifesciences Femoral Access Cannulae are intended for use in situations which require rapid femoral venous and arterial access for short-term (≤ 6 hours) cardiopulmonary bypass. Vessel access (venous or arterial) is left to the discretion of the physician. Femoral access cannulae may be used in pediatic populations or adult populations based on flow rate requirements and individual patient anatomy. Please consult labeling to determine pressure drop related to flow rates. Extracorporeal circuit components with a Duraflo coating are intended for use in cardiopulmonary surgery when a heparin coated blood path is desired.
# Comparative Analysis:
The basis for this submission is the addition of contraindications to the instructions for use of the Indications for Use statement. No physical changes are being made to these devices. The subject devices have the same technological characteristics (i.e., design, material, chemical composition, energy source) as the predicate devices.
# Summary of Changes:
The basis for this 510(k) submission is to address potential off label usage by adding contraindications to the Instructions for Use for the Femoral Access Arterial and Venous Cannulae labeling cleared under the previous 510(k) submissions (K123298 and K123303). The design of the device remains unchanged. No physical changes are being made to these devices. The subject devices have the same technological characteristics (i.e., design, material, chemical composition, energy source) as the predicate devices. New contraindications are

being added to mitigate consumer risk for potential off-label use of the Femoral Access Arterial and Venous Cannulae.
# Conclusion:
The Femoral Access Arterial and Venous Cannulae are substantially equivalent to the cited predicate device(s). Additionally, the Femoral Access Arterial and Venous Cannulae met all predetermined acceptance criteria to confirm safety and efficacy.
