Intended Use

Aortic perfusion cannulae are Intended for perfusion of the aorta during short-term (≤ 6 hours) cardiopulmonary bypass procedures.

Aortic Perfusion Cannulae may be used in pediatric or adult populations based on the 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.

Device Description

Edwards Aortic Perfusion Cannulae are sterile, non-pyrogenic, single-use cannulae made of flexible and non-flexible polymeric materials. They are intended for perfusion of the ascending aorta during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures.

Edwards' Aortic Perfusion Cannulae are available in a range of sizes with a variety of tip and hole configurations, including straight, angled, stainless steel, and plastic tips. They terminate in a connector or connector acceptance of 3/8" (9.5 mm) or 1/4" (6.3 mm), and are available in non-wire-reinforced and stainless steel wire-reinforced configurations to help prevent kinking and twisting of the cannulae. Edwards Aortic Perfusion Cannulae are also available with Duraflo™ coating.

Note: The document explicitly states, "The performance testing met the acceptance criteria," indicating that all listed criteria were satisfied.


2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance

The provided text describes bench and laboratory testing only. It does not mention a "test set" in the context of patient data or clinical trials. Therefore, information about sample size for a test set and data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not applicable to this submission. The tests were performed on the device itself.


3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts

This information is not applicable. The ground truth for the "test set" (which consists of the device's physical and functional properties) was established through engineering specifications, industry standards (ISO), and direct measurement or observation during bench testing, not through expert human evaluation of clinical data.


4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 typically refer to the process of resolving discrepancies among multiple human reviewers during data labeling or clinical trial endpoint assessment. The testing described here is objective bench testing against pre-defined engineering criteria.


5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

There was no MRMC comparative effectiveness study performed. This submission is for an Aortic Perfusion Cannula, which is a medical device (hardware), not an AI algorithm or a diagnostic tool utilizing human interpretation. Therefore, the concept of human readers improving with or without AI assistance is not applicable.


6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

This information is not applicable. The device is an Aortic Perfusion Cannula, not an algorithm.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The ground truth for the device's performance was based on:

  • Engineering specifications and standards: Pre-determined diameters for kinking, minimum weight for tip crush, pre-determined compressive force for vent plug crush, pre-determined axial force for cap removal, pre-determined tensile loads for assembly strength.
  • International Standards (ISO): Specifically ISO 11135-1 (sterilization), ISO 10993-7 (EO residuals), and ISO 10993-1 (biocompatibility).
  • Objective measurements and observations: Confirmation of compatibility with standard connections, meeting minimum pressure drop requirements, showing no signs of corrosion, and demonstrating non-hemolytic properties.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model.


9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not applicable for the same reason as above; there is no training set. The "ground truth" for the device's design and manufacturing was established through established engineering practices, material science, and regulatory compliance requirements.

Device Description:

Edwards Aortic Perfusion Cannulae are sterile, non-pyrogenic, single-use cannulae made of flexible and non-flexible polymeric materials. They are intended for perfusion of the ascending aorta during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures.

Edwards' Aortic Perfusion Cannulae are available in a range of sizes with a variety of tip and hole configurations, including straight, angled, stainless steel, and plastic tips. They terminate in a connector or connector acceptance of 3/8" (9.5 mm) or 1/4" (6.3 mm), and are available in non-wire-reinforced and stainless steel wire-reinforced configurations to help prevent kinking and twisting of the cannulae. Edwards Aortic Perfusion Cannulae are also available with Duraflo™ coating.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Indications for Use:

Aortic perfusion cannulae are Intended for perfusion of the aorta during short-term (≤ 6 hours) cardiopulmonary bypass procedures.

Aortic Perfusion Cannulae may be used in pediatric or adult populations based on the 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 Aortic Perfusion Cannulae have the same fundamental scientific technology and principles of operation as the predicate devices. Minor differences in features relate to customer reference rather than the clinical performance of the device. The product range of sizes now includes 6 to 24 French and 6 to 14.8 inches in length. Tips are open or slotted; straight, bent or curved; metal or plastic. Devices have vent caps or vent plugs, connectors or standard acceptance for connecting to the circuit. Several models are offered with a heparin coating. It has been demonstrated that the subject Aortic Perfusion Cannulae are comparable to the predicate devices in fundamental scientific technology, material types, principles of operation, and functional performance evaluations. No new issues of safety or efficacy have been raised. Additionally, the polymeric material formulations in the devices have evolved, but material types remain the same as those originally cleared in predicate submissions. All configurations may be considered for pediatric use based on the physical needs of the pediatric patient.

Non Clinical Testing:

Bench and laboratory testing was performed and assures that the product meets its specifications per the table below. The performance testing met the acceptance criteria.
