Dear H. Carl Jenkins:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

The cannulas are single use, sterile, non-toxic and nonpyrogenic devices. As a component to an organ perfusion and transport system / organ preservation solution, the Cannula for Organ Perfusion is also a Class II medical device, subject to Product Code KDN and MSB, 21 CFR 876.5880: "This generic type of device may include tubing, catheters, connectors, an ice storage or freezing container with or without bag or preservatives, pulsatile or nonpulsatile hypothermic isolated organ perfusion apparatus with or without oxygenator, and disposable perfusion set." (21 CFR 876.5880(a)).
Image /page/4/Figure/3 description: The image shows a medical instrument with several labeled parts. The instrument is a long, thin tube with a blue flexible connector on one end. The other end has an athraumatic tip, and there are also fixed and slidable rings along the tube's length, labeled d1, d2, and d3 respectively.
The Cannulas come in multiple sizes, according to the French catheter scale, including 8F, 10F, 12F, 16F (adjustable to 18F with a slidable ring), 20F (adjustable to 28F with a slidable ring), 25F (adjustable to 34F with a slidable ring). In addition, there is a configuration of the cannula that is intended for "back table" procedures, which is available in a 16F size.
