Intended Use
The Affinity™ Blood Pump System is intended to be used in an extracorporeal perfusion circuit to pump blood during routine cardiopulmonary bypass procedures up to 6 hours in duration.
Device Story
Affinity Blood Pump System is an extracorporeal perfusion device used during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures. System components include Model 2000 Affinity Pump Console, rotor, holder, pump chamber, and connecting tubing. Operates on peristaltic principle: polyurethane pump chamber fills passively via reservoir fluid height; pump rotor rollers exert peristaltic action against chamber to generate forward blood flow. Console controls variable speed motor and monitors flow rate, RPM, pressure, timed events, and battery status. Used in clinical settings by perfusionists/clinicians to maintain circulation during surgery. Output provides controlled blood flow to support patient hemodynamics. Benefits include reliable extracorporeal circulation during routine bypass procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of in vitro bench testing, including operating characteristics, cellular damage (hemolysis, platelet and white cell response), material biocompatibility, sterility, pyrogenicity, and sterilant residuals. Software validation and verification were also performed.
Technological Characteristics
Peristaltic pump system. Materials: Polyurethane pump chamber, polycarbonate connectors, PVC protective caps. Console features: variable speed motor control, monitoring for flow, RPM, pressure, and battery. Power: 100-120/220-240 Vac. Standards: IEC 601, UL 544. CE marked.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass procedures requiring extracorporeal blood circulation for up to 6 hours.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A cardiopulmonary bypass heart-lung machine console is a device that consists of a control panel and the electrical power and control circuitry for a heart-lung machine.

4. Device Name: Cardiopulmonary Bypass Roller-Type Pumps, Consoles and Bypass Pump Tubing have been classified by the Cardiovascular Device Classification Panel as Class II devices, as proposed in Section 870.4220/4370/4380/4390, Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations
5. Device Description & Comparison to Predicate Device:
To establish the substantial equivalency of the AVECOR Affinity Pump System to the Stockert Instrumente (Sorin) Pump design, specifications, materials, indications for use, and performance characteristics were compared.
## DESIGN
The AVECOR Affinity Blood Pump System is intended for use in an extracorporeal perfusion circuit to pump blood during routine cardiopulmonary bypass procedures up to 6 hours in duration.
The AVECOR Cardiovascular Affinity Pump System consists of the Model 2000 Affinity Pump Console, Affinity Pump Rotor, Affinity Pump Holder, Affinity Pump Chamber, 5/8" Connecting Tube and an AVECOR venous reservoir with 5/8" outlet.
The AVECOR Affinity Blood Pump Console and components shall conform with all the applicable requirements of IEC 601, UL 544 and will display the European Community CE marking.
The Affinity Pump Console, Model 2000 provides a system for controlling a variable speed pump motor and additional systems for monitoring flow rate, pump speed (RPM), pressure, timed events and battery status.
{1}
The AVECOR Affinity Pump has been designed to operate on the principles of a peristaltic pump for extracorporeal use. The pump consists of a polyurethane chamber incorporating polycarbonate inlet and outlet connectors, which fills passively due to the filling pressure exhibited by the fluid height in a reservoir. The peristaltic action of the rollers against the filled pump chamber results in forward flow. Flow rate is affected by the combination of reservoir volume, RPM's of the pump rotor and the total circuit resistance.
The Stockert Instrumente (Sorin) Pump Console Model No. 10-10-00, provides a system for controlling a variable speed pump motor and additional systems for monitoring flow rate, pump speed (RPM), pressure and timed events.
The Stockert Instrumente (Sorin) Pump is designed to operate on the principles of a peristaltic pump for extracorporeal use. The pump consists of a polyvinyl chloride tubing segment with polycarbonate connectors at each end. Flow rate is affected by the RPM's, of the pump rotor, total circuit resistance and the size of the tubing segment used.
## SPECIFICATIONS & MATERIALS
