No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of the cannula and suction mechanism, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is intended to treat a pathological condition (particulate emboli during cardiac surgery) and provides a therapeutic benefit (removal of emboli to reduce new brain lesions).
No
The device is an arterial cannula designed to capture debris and deliver oxygenated blood during cardiac surgery. Its primary function is therapeutic/interventional (removing emboli and providing perfusion), not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device is a physical cannula with a suction mechanism, clearly described as a disposable hardware component used during surgery.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "perfusion of the ascending aorta during short term (≤ 6 hours) cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures" and "removal of particulate emboli during surgical procedures that require CPB." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) during a surgical procedure.
- Device Description: The description details a "double lumen arterial cannula" that "delivers oxygenated blood" and "suctioning blood and embolic matter away from the surgical field." This is a surgical tool used directly on the patient.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The device's function is entirely focused on managing blood flow and removing debris during surgery.
Therefore, the CardioGard Emboli Protection Cannula is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The CardioGard Emboli Protection Cannula, shown below, is a disposable 24 French double lumen arterial cannula. The cannula functions to deliver oxygenated blood to the heart during procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), while at the same time suctioning blood and embolic matter away from the surgical field. The arterial cannula is inserted centrally in the ascending aorta.
The CardioGard Emboli Protection Cannula features a tip configuration which diffuses oxygenated blood from the heart-lung machine to the ascending aorta through the Cannula Outlet, while also aspirating blood and embolic matter through the Suction Lumen Inlet. The flow rates through the two cannula lumens are carefully controlled so that emboli are suctioned back to the CPB machine for filtration while still enabling sufficient blood flow into the aorta.

Discussion of Similarities and Differences
Intended Use: The intended use of the CardioGard Cannula is essentially the same as that of the combined Embol-X Aortic Cannula and Intra-Aortic filter. The Embol-X Intra-Aortic Filter can only be used with the Embol-X Aortic Cannula, and the two devices are sold together as the Embol-X Glide System. Both the CardioGard and Embol-X devices are intended for arterial perfusion and embolic particle capture during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery.
Use Duration: The CardioGard Cannula is similar to the Embol-X Cannula in that both can be used for the entire duration of the CPB surgery (≤ 6 hours). The duration of use for the Embol-X filter is limited to 60 minutes, and it is intended primarily for use during periods of aortic manipulation (i.e., clamps removal).
Design and Dimensions: The designs of the CardioGard and Embol-X Cannulas are very similar. Both have curved tips with two ports: one for arterial perfusion and one for removal of embolic particles. Both devices are 24Fr with 3/8" diameter for the main tube, and similar tube lengths. Cannula insertion for both devices is per standard surgical practice for arterial perfusion cannulas. The main difference between the two device designs is the method of embolic particle removal: The CardioGard uses suction through the second portal located behind the perfusion portal, while the Embol-X uses a mesh filter inserted into the aorta through the second portal located behind the perfusion portal. In vitro side-by-side comparison testing of the two devices demonstrated the substantial equivalence of these two methods of embolic particle removal.
Pressure Drop:
The pressure drop (difference between the inlet and outlet pressures) testing was conducted for both the CardioGard and Embol-X cannulas under the same protocol. This in vitro side-by-side comparison pressure drop testing demonstrated that the CardioGard cannulas have a smaller, and therefore better, pressure drop as compared to the predicate device at all measured flow rates (3, 4, 5, and 6 l/min).
Biological Safety: The CardioGard Cannula is substantially equivalent to the Embol-X devices in that all are made of materials commonly used in medical devices and are biocompatible for short term contact with circulating blood.
9
Sterilization: The CardioGard Cannula is substantially equivalent to the Embol-X devices in that all are provided sterile, are non-pvrogenic, and are intended for single use only.
. Nonclinical Data:
The following nonclinical testing was provided in this 510(k):

The LAL test was used to verify that the EtO sterilized CardioGard is pyrogen-free.
