Intended Use
The TandemLung Oxygenator (TLO) is intended to be used for adult patients for extracorporeal circulation during cardiopulmonary bypass in the field of open-heart surgery. Within the indicated flow rates, blood is oxygenated and carbon dioxide is removed. The utilization period of this device is restricted to six hours.
Device Description
The TandemLung Oxygenator TLO consists of an injection molded exterior shell containing a bundle of Polymethylpentene (PMP) hollow fiber membranes in which blood is oxygenated and decarbonated. Sweep gas, primarily oxygen, is supplied to interior lumens of the fibers and diffuses from the fiber wall to the blood plasma via simple diffusion. Similarly, carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the inner lumen of the fibers and is exhausted. Arterialized blood exits out of the blood outlet port and is delivered to the patient. A two part polyurethane "potting" compound is used to both mechanically fix the end of the hollow fiber membranes in place and to create a barrier between the blood and gas pathways within the TLO. Use of the TLO requires use of a pump and cannula(s), as well as tubing and connectors/fittings.

No
The description focuses on the physical components and mechanism of gas exchange, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes.
The device oxygenates blood and removes carbon dioxide, serving a therapeutic function by supporting cardiopulmonary bypass during open-heart surgery.

No

Explanation: The device is an oxygenator used for extracorporeal circulation to oxygenate blood and remove carbon dioxide during cardiopulmonary bypass. It is a therapeutic device that performs a physiological function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical medical device with components like an exterior shell, hollow fiber membranes, and potting compound, which are hardware elements. It also mentions the need for external hardware like a pump and cannulas.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used for "extracorporeal circulation during cardiopulmonary bypass in the field of open-heart surgery." This describes a device that directly interacts with the patient's blood outside the body for therapeutic purposes (oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device with membranes that facilitate gas exchange with blood. This is consistent with a therapeutic device used in a surgical setting.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze blood or other biological samples to diagnose a condition, monitor a disease, or determine a patient's health status. IVDs are specifically designed for these diagnostic purposes.

In summary, the TandemLung Oxygenator is a therapeutic device used during surgery, not a diagnostic device used for analyzing samples.

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

In vitro bench tests were carried out to demonstrate performance and substantial equivalence to the predicate Novalung, according to the requirements of FDAs document "Guidance for Cardiopulmunary Bypass Oxygenators 510(k) Submission", issued on November 13, 2000. Specifically hemolysis, gas exchange, pressure drop, blood pathway integrity, gas pathway integrity, and physical properties were tested. This testing confirmed that the TandemLung Oxygenator does not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness and that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate.

Device

Trade/Proprietary Name: Common Name: Classification Name:

TandemLung Oxygenator Cardiopulmonary Bypass Oxygenator Oxygenator, Cardiopulmonary Bypass (21 CFR 870.4350, Product Code DTZ)

Predicate Device

Novalung sLA Membrane Lung (K072362).

Device Description

The TandemLung Oxygenator TLO consists of an injection molded exterior shell containing a bundle of Polymethylpentene (PMP) hollow fiber membranes in which blood is oxygenated and decarbonated. Sweep gas, primarily oxygen, is supplied to interior lumens of the fibers and diffuses from the fiber wall to the blood plasma via simple diffusion. Similarly, carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the inner lumen of the fibers and is exhausted. Arterialized blood exits out of the blood outlet port and is delivered to the patient.

A two part polyurethane "potting" compound is used to both mechanically fix the end of the hollow fiber membranes in place and to create a barrier between the blood and gas pathways within the TLO.

Use of the TLO requires use of a pump and cannula(s), as well as tubing and connectors/fittings.

Section 5 510(k) Summary 510(k) Traditional

Intended Use

The TandemLung Oxygenator (TLO) is intended to be used for adult patients for extracorporeal circulation during cardiopulmonary bypass in the field of open-heart surgery. Within the indicated flow rates, blood is oxygenated and carbon dioxide is removed. The utilization period of this device is restricted to six hours.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The TandemLung Oxygenator is functionally and technologically similar to the predicate Novalung sLA Membrane Lung (K072362). Both products consist of polymethylpentene hollow fiber membrane material encased in polycarbonate shell material. Technological differences between the TandemLung Oxygenator and the predicate Novalung sLA Membrane Lung include: 1) The geometry and the blood flow paths of the two devices differ. The Novalung has a square overall shape, whereas the TandemLung is cylindrical with flow moving from the top to bottom of the cylinder, 2) The TandemLung incorporates a flow separator designed to optimize flow and move blood in a radial (i.e. transverse) direction across the hollow fiber membranes. The Novalung does not have a flow separator, and 3) The TandemLung has a smaller priming volume than the predicate Novalung.

Performance Data

In vitro bench tests were carried out to demonstrate performance and substantial equivalence to the predicate Novalung, according to the requirements of FDAs document "Guidance for Cardiopulmunary Bypass Oxygenators 510(k) Submission", issued on November 13, 2000. Specifically hemolysis, gas exchange, pressure drop, blood pathway integrity, gas pathway integrity, and physical properties were tested. This testing confirmed that the TandemLung Oxygenator does not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness and that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
