Intended Use
The CardiacAssist Transseptal Cannula Set is intended for transseptal catheterization of the left atrium via the femoral vein for the purpose of providing a means for temporary (six hours or less) left ventricular bypass when connected to a suitable extracorporeal blood pump unit which returns blood to the patient via the femoral artery or other appropriate site.
Device Description
The Transseptal Cannula Set consists of three components: (1) 21 Fr. Transseptal Cannula, (2) 13 Fr. Obturator, and (3) 14/21 Fr. Two-stage Dilator, that accept a 0.035 in. guidewire. The 21 Fr. Transseptal Cannula (Figure 1) allows for drainage of the left atrium during ventricular bypass. It has 14 side holes in addition to the tip opening for inflow at the distal end, a barbed fitting at the proximal end, and insertion depth markings from 40 to 62 cm measured from the distal end. The Transseptal Cannula also includes a Suture Wing and 2 Suture Rings to provide a means for securing it to the patient. The 13 Fr. Obturator (Figure 2) is used to advance the Cannula to the right atrium from the inguinal area and then across the atrial septum into the left atrium. It contains a luer hub and aspiration side holes at both the distal and proximal ends to facilitate de-airing and to allow for use of contrast material to facilitate final positioning of the Cannula. It also contains a radiopaque marker band proximal to the Cannula drainage holes when the Obturator is inserted in the Cannula. The 14/21 Fr. Dilator (Figure 3) is provided for pre-dilation of the fossa ovalis once left atrial access is achieved via standard transseptal technique.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and mechanical performance of a cannula set, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device facilitates temporary left ventricular bypass by providing a means for blood drainage and return, which is a supportive function rather than a direct therapeutic intervention to treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is intended for temporary left ventricular bypass by providing a means for transseptal catheterization and blood drainage/return, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (cannula, obturator, dilator) made of materials, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for a surgical procedure (transseptal catheterization) to provide temporary left ventricular bypass. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details physical components like cannulas, obturators, and dilators, which are instruments used for accessing and manipulating anatomical structures.
  • Anatomical Site: The specified anatomical sites (left atrium, femoral vein, femoral artery) are locations within the patient's body where the device is used.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical characteristics and functionality of the device within the body (flow, kink radius, tensile strength, leak testing, biocompatibility).

An In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform such a function.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Testing of the Transseptal Cannula Set was completed for flow vs. pressure drop (HQ) and kink radius performance, tensile strength, leak testing and biocompatibility. The Transseptal Cannula HQ and kink radius performance after six hour use was substantially better than that of the Elecath cannula. The results of the tensile strength and leak testing indicated that the device exceeded the design requirements. The biocompatibility test results indicated that the transseptal Cannula Set successfully met the requirements of FDA's Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 guidance and ISO 10993-1.
