Intended Use
The Paragon Adult Maxi PMP Oxygenator is a hollow fiber membrane oxygenator intended for physiologic gas exchange in adults and small adults undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. The integrated heat exchanger makes it possible to regulate the blood temperature. The Paragon Adult Maxi PMP Oxygenator is intended for up to 6 hours. The Tubing Pack is intended for use in extracorporeal circulation during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures, lasting 6 hours or less.
Device Description
The Paragon Adult Maxi PMP oxygenator (Paragon Maxi) with Tubing Pack is a hollow fiber membrane oxygenator with an integrated heat exchanger pre-connected to blood line and gas line tubing. The Paragon Maxi facilitates the gas exchange into and out of the blood, and the requlation of blood temperature during cardiopulmonary bypass. The Paragon Maxi is supplied with a Rheopak surface coating that reduces platelet adhesion to coated surfaces. The gas exchanger part of the Paragon Maxi is formed of plasma tight hollow fiber membranes. The gas flow takes place through the inner lumen of the fibers. Blood is in contact with the outer side of the membranes, so that oxygen can diffuse into the venous blood, while carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood. The heat exchanging part of the Paragon Maxi is made of non-porous hollow fiber membranes. Water flows through the inner lumen of the fibers, so that blood temperature flowing outside is regulated. The Tubing Pack is a component of a cardiopulmonary bypass procedure that facilitates extracorporeal circulatory support for a term of up to 6 hours.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical device for gas exchange and temperature regulation during cardiopulmonary bypass. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is used for physiologic gas exchange and temperature regulation of blood during cardiopulmonary bypass, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is an oxygenator and heat exchanger used for physiological gas exchange and blood temperature regulation during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. It facilitates physical processes (gas and heat exchange) rather than identifying or analyzing a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly details a physical medical device (hollow fiber membrane oxygenator with integrated heat exchanger and tubing pack) used for gas exchange and temperature regulation during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. The performance studies focus on in vitro testing of the physical components. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "physiologic gas exchange in adults and small adults undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery." This describes a device used during a medical procedure to support a patient's physiological functions, not a device used to test samples in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a "hollow fiber membrane oxygenator with an integrated heat exchanger" that facilitates "gas exchange into and out of the blood" and "regulation of blood temperature." This is consistent with a device used in extracorporeal circulation during surgery, not a diagnostic test.
  • Mechanism of Action: The description explains how oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse across membranes and how blood temperature is regulated. This is a physical process supporting blood function, not a chemical or biological test performed on a sample.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Language: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

In summary, the Paragon Adult Maxi PMP Oxygenator is a medical device used for therapeutic support during surgery, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
