The device description focuses on physical components for temperature control and transport, and the summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".
No
The device is described as a transport system for organs intended for transplantation, which is a method of preservation and transportation, not a direct therapeutic intervention on a patient.
No
The device is described as a transport system for organs and monitors temperature and elapsed time of transport, but does not diagnose or interpret medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components including an outer shipper, inner and outer hard shell containers, and a temperature display and timer.
Based on the provided information, the Sherpa Pak Cardiac Transport System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "static hypothermic preservation of hearts during transportation and eventual transplantation." This describes a device used to maintain the viability of an organ outside the body for the purpose of transplantation.
- Device Description: The description details a system for cold storage and transport of a donor heart. It involves packaging, containers, and temperature monitoring.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Sherpa Pak does not perform any such analysis or testing of a specimen. It is a preservation and transport system for an organ.
Therefore, the Sherpa Pak Cardiac Transport System falls under the category of a medical device used for organ preservation and transport, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Sherpa Pak Cardiac Transport System is intended to be used for the static hypothermic preservation of hearts during transportation and eventual transplantation into a recipient using cold storage solutions indicated for use with the heart.
The intended organ storage time for the Sherpa Pak Cardiac Transport System is up to 4 hours.
Donor hearts exceeding clinically accepted static hypothermic preservation times should be evaluated by the transplant surgeon to determine transplantability in accordance with accepted clinical guidelines and in the best medical interest of the intended recipient.

Device Description
The Paragonix Sherpa Pak Cardiac Transport System is a device intended to provide a safe, consistent method for cold ischemic storage and transport of donor hearts to recipients for transplantation. The Sherpa Pak System consists of 1) an outer shipper which contains various non-ice based temperature controlled packaging elements. 2) an inner and outer hard shell container (i.e. Sherpa Pak/Sherpa Pak Shell) which provides a double, rigid barrier container in which the heart is immersed and suspended in a Cold Storage Fluid cleared for use in storing and transporting donor hearts and 3) a temperature display and timer to monitor temperature and elapsed time of transport. respectively. The changes made to the currently cleared device are labeling changes only. The device subject to this notification is identical to that cleared under K123326.
