The CentriMag™ Blood Pump for use with CentriMag™ Acute Circulatory Support System (Motor, Monitor, Console, and Flow Probes) is indicated for controlling blood flow as part of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit. ECMO is intended to provide assisted extracorporeal circulation and physiologic gas exchange of the patients' blood for adult patients with acute respiratory failure and/or acute cardiopulmonary failure, where other available treatment options have failed, and continued clinical deterioration is expected or the risk of death is imminent.

The CentriMag™ Blood pump for use with CentriMag™ Acute Circulatory Support System (hereafter referred to as the CentriMag System) is designed to provide assisted extracorporeal circulation and physiologic gas exchange of patients' blood for adult patients with acute respiratory and/or acute cardiopulmonary failure. The CentriMag System was designed to provide temporary mechanical circulatory support. The CentriMag System provides circulatory assistance for patients in acute hemodynamic compromise, a population whose treatment options are limited. The system includes: CentriMag 2nd Generation Primary Console, CentriMag Motor, CentriMag Blood Pump, Flow Probe, and Mag Monitor (optional). The CentriMag System features a centrifugal flow pump with inflow and outflow ports that are at right angles to one another, and a magnetically levitated impeller (Full MagLev™ technology). The CentriMag Motor is a reusable, non-sterile component of the CentriMag Acute Circulatory Support System. The CentriMag Motor holds the blood pump and drives the impeller inside the blood pump. When the pump is inserted into the motor and activated, the internal impeller is electromagnetically levitated and centered, eliminating the need for shafts, seals, and bearings in the pump. Utilizing magnetic levitation technology (Full MagLev™ technology) to suspend and spin the impeller eliminates bearing and seal friction, resulting in minimal heat generation and wear of the pump components. the console is used to control pump speed, the resultant blood flow, and monitor the operation of the system. A cable connects the console to the motor, allowing flexibility in the pump motor and pump positioning.

The CentriMag Extracorporeal Blood Pumping System is indicated to pump blood through the extracorporeal bypass circuit for extracorporeal circulatory support for periods appropriate to cardiopulmonary bypass (up to six hours). It is also indicated for use in extracorporeal circulatory support systems (for periods up to six hours) not requiring complete cardiopulmonary bypass (e.g., valvuloplasty, circulatory support during mitral valve reoperation, surgery of the vena cava or aorta, liver transplants etc.) The CentriMag Return (Arterial) Cannula is indicated for use as an arterial return cannula with an extracorporeal bypass circuit for extracorporeal circulatory support for periods up to six hours. The CentriMag Drainage (Venous) Cannula is indicated for use with an extracorporeal bypass circuit for extracorporeal circulatory support for periods up to six hours.

The CentriMag™ Circulatory Support System, hereafter referred to as the CentriMag System, was designed to provide temporary mechanical circulatory support. The CentriMag system in the United States (US) is indicated as a component of an extracorporeal bypass circulatory support circuit for use during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery (up to 6 hours). The CentriMag System provides circulatory assistance for patients in acute hemodynamic compromise, a population whose treatment options are limited. The CentriMag System is composed of: - CentriMag Primary Console - CentriMag Motor - CentriMag Blood Pump - CentriMag Flow Probe - Mag Monitor (optional) The Thoratec CentriMag Return (Arterial) Cannula Kit consists of the return (arterial) cannula and several accessories used in the surgical placement procedure. The cannula and all kit accessories are sterile, single-use, disposable devices. The cannula kit is designed for use with the Thoratec CentriMag® Extracorporeal Blood Pumping System. The Thoratec CentriMag® Drainage (Venous) Cannula Kit consists of the drainage (venous) cannula and several accessories used in the surgical placement procedure. The cannula and all kit its accessories are sterile, single use, disposable devices. The cannula kit is designed for use with the Thoratec CentriMag® Extracorporeal Blood Pumping System.
