Intended Use
The Minntech Corporation's EnGuard™ Cardioplegia Heat Exchanger is used to cool or warm cardioplegia solution prior to delivery to the patient through connected tubing sets which provide various ratios of cardioplegia solution to blood, depending upon the tubing set chosen.
Device Description
The administration of cardioplegia solution is commonly used to provide myocardial protection or controlled arrest of the heart during coronary bypass procedures. As the oxygenated blood enters the EnGuard™ device through the inlet blood port, it passes through the fiber bundle lumens where the temperature of the blood is cooled or warmed as desired by passing water of the desired temperature into the heater/cooler section of the device, which surrounds the fiber bundle. The water enters and leaves through standard Hansen connector ports molded into the polycarbonate case. The EnGuard™ heat exchanger must be used with separately purchased, sterile tubing sets attached as explained in the labeling. These tubing sets will determine the ratio of crystalloid to blood. The Minntech device will produce cardioplegia solution at ratios of 1:1, 2:1, 4:1 and 8:1 depending upon the chosen tubing set.

No
The device description and intended use focus on a physical heat exchange mechanism and do not mention any computational or data-driven processes indicative of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is a heat exchanger for cardioplegia solution, which is used to cool or warm the solution prior to delivery to the patient. It does not directly treat a disease or condition in a patient, but rather prepares a solution that is then used in a therapeutic procedure.

No
The device is described as a heat exchanger used to cool or warm cardioplegia solution, which is then delivered to a patient. Its function is to modify the temperature of a solution for treatment purposes, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical heat exchanger with ports, fiber bundles, and a polycarbonate case, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Minntech Corporation's EnGuard™ Cardioplegia Heat Exchanger is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is used to cool or warm cardioplegia solution prior to delivery to the patient. This is a therapeutic or procedural function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device physically alters the temperature of the cardioplegia solution and blood mixture. It does not describe any process of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing patient samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used in relation to the heart during a surgical procedure, which is a direct interaction with the patient's body, not an in vitro analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. The EnGuard™ device's function is to prepare a solution for administration to the patient during surgery, which falls outside the scope of an IVD.

Official Contact:Robert Johnson
Vice President, Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance

Minntech Corporation has supplied the following information to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to support the substantial equivalency of the EnGuard™ PHX Cardioplegia Heat Exchanger to other cardioplegia devices currently in commercial distribution in the United States.

1. Device Description

The administration of cardioplegia solution is commonly used to provide myocardial protection or controlled arrest of the heart during coronary bypass procedures. As the oxygenated blood enters the EnGuard™ device through the inlet blood port, it passes through the fiber bundle lumens where the temperature of the blood is cooled or warmed as desired by passing water of the desired temperature into the heater/cooler section of the device, which surrounds the fiber bundle. The water enters and leaves through standard Hansen connector ports molded into the polycarbonate case.

The EnGuard™ heat exchanger must be used with separately purchased, sterile tubing sets attached as explained in the labeling. These tubing sets will determine the ratio of crystalloid to blood. The Minntech device will produce cardioplegia solution at ratios of 1:1, 2:1, 4:1 and 8:1 depending upon the chosen tubing set.

  • Intended Use 2.
