No
The device description focuses on the physical components and mechanical function of a heat exchanger for blood and cardioplegia solution. There is no mention of any computational or algorithmic processing, let alone AI or ML. The performance studies are based on in-vitro bench testing of physical characteristics and heat exchange performance.
Yes
The device is used for mixing, cooling, warming, and delivering oxygenated blood and cardioplegia solution, which directly impacts the physiological state of the patient during medical procedures.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a system for mixing, cooling, warming, and delivering cardioplegia solution, which are therapeutic and supportive functions, not diagnostic. It monitors temperature but does not perform diagnostic assessments or provide information for diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical medical device with hardware components such as a polycarbonate housing, hollow fibers, tubing sets, and a heat exchanger. There is no mention of software being the primary or sole component.
Based on the provided text, the Medtronic CardioTherm™ Blood Cardioplegia System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "mixing, cooling, warming, and delivery of oxygenated blood and/or asanguineous cardioplegia solution" during surgical procedures. This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) to prepare and deliver a solution to a patient.
- Device Description: The description details a system that handles blood and cardioplegia solution and delivers it to the patient. It involves a heat exchanger and tubing sets for specific delivery ratios. This is consistent with a device used in a surgical setting, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information
- Using reagents or assays
- Measuring analytes or biomarkers
The device is clearly designed to manipulate and deliver a solution to a patient during a medical procedure, which falls under the category of a therapeutic or surgical device, not an IVD.

Device Description
The Medtronic CardioTherm™ Blood Cardioplegia System with Carmeda® BioActive Surface is coated with a non-leaching bioactive heparin surface which provides thromboresistant blood contact surfaces. The Carmeda® BioActive Surface is present on blood path materials.
Each Medtronic CardioTherm™ Blood Cardioplegia System with Carmeda® BioActive Surface is a single use, disposable device designed to mix arterial blood from an oxygenator with asanguineous cardioplegia solution in specific ratios depending on the tubing set configurations. The blood/cardioplegia solution is then cooled/warmed and delivered to the patient.
The Medtronic CardioTherm™ Blood Cardioplegia Heat Exchanger with Carmeda BioActive Surface consists of a polycarbonate housing which incorporates a bubble chamber. A stopcock is attached to the upper luer port of the housing lid allowing for air venting through a purge line during priming and pressure monitoring through a vented or non-vented pressure monitoring line throughout the procedure. A temperature probe port is located adjacent to the blood outlet port at the bottom of the device, allowing for temperature monitoring of the blood/cardioplegia solution prior to patient delivery.
The heat exchanger housing contains non-porous polypropylene hollow fibers, which are supported on their exterior by a polyethylene screen. These polypropylene fibers run longitudinally through the polycarbonate chamber. Blood/cardioplegia solution flows through the polypropylene hollow fibers. The walls of these fibers provide a barrier between the blood/cardioplegia solution and the cooling/warming water.
The flow of solution through the Medtronic CardioTherm™ Blood Cardioplegia Heat Exchanger with Carmeda® BioActive Surface is as follows:
Blood/Cardioplegia
The blood and/or cardioplegia solution enters the bottom of the device, flows up through the polypropylene hollow fibers, flows back down a center collecting tube, and exits the from the bottom of the device.
Water
The cooling/warming water enters a side port, passes around the outside walls of the polypropylene fibers, then exits through a parallel side port.
Heat exchange occurs as the blood/cardioplegia solution passes through the hollow fibers, while the temperature regulated cooling/warming water passes around the outside walls of the same fibers. The blood/cardioplegia solution is cooled/ warmed as it flows through the heat exchanger.
By connecting tubing of specific inner diameters to the heat exchanger, a predetermined approximate ratio of blood to cardioplegia solution may be delivered to the patient. The tubing sets are equivalent to the tubing sets which are currently used for the CardioTherm™ Blood Cardioplegia System (K960755)
Four of the various delivery ratios available are:
- a tubing set for 1:1 ratio of blood to asanguineous cardioplegia. 1.
- a tubing set for 2:1 ratio of blood to asanguineous cardioplegia. 2.
- నా a tubing set for 4:1 ratio of blood to asanguineous cardioplegia.
- a tubing set for 9:1 ratio of blood to asanguineous cardioplegia. 4.
These tubing ratios are identical to the commercially available CardioTherm™ Blood Cardioplegia Systems.
