The LifeSPARC System is intended to pump the blood through an extracorporeal circuit for periods lasting less than 6 hours for the purpose of providing either: (i) Full or partial cardiopulmonary bypass (i.e., circuit includes an oxygenator) during open surgical procedures on the heart or great vessels; or (ii) Temporary circulatory bypass for diversion of flow around a planned disruption of the circulatory pathway necessary for open surgical procedures on the aorta or vena cava.

The LifeSPARC Pump is a sterile, single-use, low prime volume centrifygal pump with an integrated motor and a single-point, pivot bearing. It is sterilized using ethylene oxide (EO) and sized to fit in the palm of the hand or to secure to the patient. The LifeSPARC Controller provides the interface between pump and user, as well as the power and electrical signals to drive the pump. It is a microprocessor-based electromechanical pump drive system designed to operate on standard AC current (100/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz) or on internal, rechargeable batteries for intra-hospital transport.

The ProtekDuo Mini Veno-Venous Cannula Set is intended for use as a single cannula for both venous drainage and reinfusion of blood via an internal jugular vein during extracorporeal life support procedures.

The ProtekDuo Mini Veno-Venous Cannula Set consists of two components: a 31 Fr. Dual Lumen Veno-Venous Cannula and a 15.5 Fr. Introducer is designed to accept a standard 0.038 inch guidewire. The ProtekDuo Mini Veno-Venous Cannula Set is intended as a single patient, single use, sterile device. The ProtekDuo Mini Veno-Venous Cannula (Figure 5-1) consists of two distinct lumens with a wire-reinforced cannula body. The inner lumen is located entirely within the outer lumen forming two concentric channels. The distal section (inner lumen/cannula) of the cannula body has six side holes near the distal tip opening. The proximal sections of each lumen are clear and not wire-reinforced to allow visualization of blood and to enable clamping to prevent blood flow during setup and removal of the cannula from the extracorporeal circulatory support equipment (see Figure 5-1). A non-vented barbed connector is affixed to both proximal ends (inner/distal and outer/proximal lumens) of the cannula and allow for connection of standard 3/8 inch blood circuit tubing for subsequent connection to extracorporeal circulatory support equipment. The introducer (Figure 5-2) consists of a tube with a luer hub. The introducer fits inside the inner lumen of the cannula during insertion of the cannula/introducer assembly. The introducer is used to advance the cannula over a guidewire and facilitate cannula placement within the target vessel. The introducer has a luer hub at its proximal end to manage introducer insertion and removal from the cannula. The luer hub can also enable contrast injection, if necessary, to facilitate placement and final positioning of the cannula within the target vessel. The hemostasis cap minimizes blood loss when the cannula/introducer assembly is inserted into the target vessel. The introducer body is constructed from radiopaque material for visualization under fluoroscopy.

The Protek Venous Dilator Sets are intended for single use by a trained physician to assist in vessel cannulation.

The Protek Venous Dilator Sets are comprised of vascular dilators with diameters of 14, 18, 22 and 26 Fr. outer diameter. There are two distinct kits, one intended for insertion of cannula smaller than 26 Fr. which includes the 14, 18, and 22 Fr. dilators and one intended for the insertion of cannula larger than 26 Fr. which also includes the 26 Fr. dilator. The Dilators are designed to accept a standard 0.038 inch guidewire. The Protek Venous Dilator Sets are intended as a single patient, single use, sterile device. Each dilator consists of a tube with a hub. The dilators fit over a guidewire during insertion. The dilators are used to prepare the target vessel for the safe introduction of a large bore cannula. The dilator body is constructed from radiopaque material for visualization under nuoroscopy.

The TandemHeart Veno-Venous Cannula Set is intended for use as a single cannula for both venous drainage and reinfusion of blood via an internal jugular vein during extracorporeal life support procedures.

The TandemHeart Veno-Venous Cannula Set consists of two components: a 29 Fr. Dual lumen Veno-Venous Cannula and a 13 Fr. Introducer. The Introducer is designed to accept a standard 0.038 inch guidewire. The TandemHeart Veno-Venous Cannula Set is intended as a single patient, single use, sterile device. The TandemHeart Veno-Venous Cannula (Figure 1) consists of two distinct lumens with a wire-reinforced cannula body. The inner lumen is located entirely within the outer lumen forming two concentric channels. The distal section (inner lumen/cannula) of the cannula body has six side holes near the distal tip opening. The proximal sections of each lumen are clear and not wire-reinforced to allow visualization of blood and to enable clamping to prevent blood flow during setup and removal of the cannula from the extracorporeal circulatory support equipment (see Figure 1). A non-vented barbed connector is affixed to both proximal ends (inner/distal and outer/proximal lumens) of the cannula and allow for connection of standard 3/8 inch blood circuit tubing for subsequent connection to extracorporeal circulatory support equipment. The cannula has printed insertion depth markings every 10 centimeters from 10 to 30 cm followed by every 2 centimeters for the remainder of the insert-able length, measured from the distal end. The cannula also has a suture wing that can be used for securing the cannula in place to the patient. The introducer (Figure 2) consists of a tube with a hub. The introducer fits inside the inner lumen of the cannula during insertion of the cannula/introducer assembly. The introducer is used to advance the cannula over a guidewire and facilitate cannula placement within the target vessel. The introducer has a hub at its proximal end to manage introducer insertion and removal from the cannula. The hemostasis cap minimizes blood loss when the cannula/introducer assembly is inserted into the target vessel. The introducer body is constructed from radiopaque material for visualization under fluoroscopy.

The 15 French TandemHeart Arterial Cannula Set (15 Fr. THAC) is intended to cannulate vessels, perfuse vessels or organs and/or connect with accessory extracorporeal circulatory support equipment. The cannula introducer is intended to facilitate proper insertion and placement of the cannula within the vessel for extracorporeal circulatory support. These devices are to be used by a trained physician only.

The 15 French TandemHeart Femoral Arterial Cannula Set consists of two components, as shown in Figure 1: a 15 Fr. Femoral Arterial Cannula and a 10 Fr. Introducer. The device is intended to cannulate vessels, perfuse vessels or organs, and/or connect with accessory extracorporeal circulatory support equipment. The product is intended to be single patient, single use, sterile device.

Radiopaque markers are embedded at the distal tip of the cannula, and the cannula body is wire-reinforced for visualization under fluoroscopy. Insertion depth markings have been incorporated in the cannula body working length from 5 to 17 cm measured from the distal tip. The cannula includes a suture wing to provide a means for securing the cannula to the patient and a stop component to minimize cannula insertion depth beyond its working length. Printing on the proximal region of the cannula indicates the area where a clamp should be applied if needed during the set-up or removal process. The 10 Fr. introducer is provided to facilitate placement of the arterial cannula, within the target vessel, and is designed with a tapered distal tip. The introducer proximal end contains a luer hub to aid in the removal of the introducer body is also constructed of a radiopaque material for visualization under fluoroscopy. The introducer includes a hemostasis cap that provides the interface between the cannula proximal connector and introducer body. The hemostasis cap aids in minimizing blood loss during the insertion of the cannula/introducer assembly into the target vessel.
