Intended Use
The Sorin FlexTherm Heater-Cooler System is used with a Stöckert S3 heart-lung machine and / or any other heart-lung machine featuring a separate temperature control for extracorporeal perfusion of durations of up to 6 hours.
Device Story
Sorin FlexTherm is a software-controlled heater-cooler system for extracorporeal perfusion. It connects to heat exchangers and blankets to regulate patient temperature during cardiopulmonary bypass. Components include housing, compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion valves, water tanks, heaters, pumps, valves, sensors, and a user interface. Operated by clinical staff in surgical settings, it provides precise temperature control for up to 6 hours. The device supports wide-range power inputs (100-240 VAC). It functions by circulating temperature-controlled water through external heat exchangers, enabling warming or cooling of the patient. Clinical benefit includes maintenance of target patient temperature during bypass procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of bench and in vitro testing. Functional performance verified via system capacity to reach target temperatures, precision of temperature control, and pump capacity, both with and without a patient simulator. Electrical safety verified per IEC 60601-1; electromagnetic compatibility verified per IEC 60601-1-2.
Technological Characteristics
Heater-cooler system; software-controlled. Components: compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion valves, water tanks, heaters, pumps, valves, sensors, display. Power: 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. Materials: modified console, hood, tanks, and cooling circuit. Connectivity: standalone. Sterilization: not specified. Software: validated per internal procedures and FDA 2005 guidance.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing extracorporeal perfusion procedures requiring temperature control for up to 6 hours, using a Stöckert S3 or compatible heart-lung machine.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A cardiopulmonary bypass temperature controller is a device used to control the temperature of the fluid entering and leaving a heat exchanger.

| REGULATION NUMBER: | 870.4250 | |
| UNMODIFIED DEVICE(S): | Stöckert Heater-Cooler System 3T (K052601) | |
# DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
Sorin FlexTherm is designed to provide temperature control during extracorporeal procedures. The device can be used in conjunction with heat exchangers tubing sets and heating/cooling blankets present on the market with an intended use in ECC (cardiopulmonary bypass heat exchangers, cardioplegia heat exchangers) and able to withstand a pressure of at least 2 bar. The device is used to warm or cool a patient during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures lasting up to six (6) hours.
As the unmodified device, the Sorin FlexTherm is a software-controlled device provided with hardware elements.
The main components for both devices are the housing provided with wheels, compressor, condenser unit, evaporator, expansion valves, water tanks, heaters, pumps, valves, sensors and a user interface/display.
### INDICATION FOR USE:
The Sorin FlexTherm Heater-Cooler System is used with a Stöckert S3 heart-lung machine and / or any other heart-lung machine featuring a separate temperature control for extracorporeal perfusion of durations of up to 6 hours.
{1}------------------------------------------------
デ
## TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The modified device Sorin FlexTherm has the same fundamental scientific technology, operating principles and intended use as the unmodified device.
The changes introduced improve usability and enhance user interface.
The main modifications are the introduction of a newly designed user interface/display, the change of device software and hardware components, change materials of construction (console, hood, tanks, cooling circuit), change of the dimensions, change in power supply. The Sorin FlexTherm will be offered with a wide range power supply suitable to different voltages (i.e. from 100 - 240 VAC and 50 - 60 Hz).
The labeling and the instructions for use have been updated to reflect the modifications.
There are no significant differences in the packaging scheme.
The basic device function is the same for both the Stöckert Heater-Cooler System 3T and Sorin FlexTherm.
Sorin Group Deutschland GmbH believes that the Sorin FlexTherm is substantially equivalent to the unmodified device and to other currently marketed heater/cooler devices, and raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness.
## NON CLINICAL TEST RESULTS:
The electrical safety of Sorin FlexTherm was verified by testing the unit against the IEC 60601-1 electrical safety standard.
The electromagnetic compatibility was also verified by testing the device against the applicable electromagnetic compatibility IEC 60601-1-2 safety standard.
## IN VITRO TEST RESULTS:
In vitro testing was performed in order to provide the data necessary to demonstrate both the substantial equivalence with the unmodified device and also to comply with safety and effectiveness requirements.
Comparative tests were performed according to internal methods developed by the manufacturer.
The following table lists the performance tests conducted to demonstrate compliance to the product's performance specifications. The Sorin FlexTherm successfully met all acceptance criteria for each test.
| TEST | TEST CLASSIFICATION | TEST TYPE |
|------|------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1 | Functional/Performance | Functional performances without patient simulator<br>in terms of system capacity to reach the target<br>temperature, precision of the temperature control<br>and pump capacity. |
| 2 | Functional/Performance | Functional performances with patient simulator in<br>terms of cooling/warming a patient and<br>administration of cold/warm cardioplegia. |
{2}------------------------------------------------
.
The SW provided with Sorin FlexTherm was also fully validated.
A functional validation of the software of the entire system was conducted and the software was developed in accordance with Sorin Group Deutschland internal procedures and with consideration of commonly recognized standards of software life cycle processes and quality assurance.
The software documentation was developed according to the requirements of the FDA Guidance for the content of premarket submissions for software contained in medical devices (May 2005) as well as according to the Level of Concern of the device.
### CONCLUSIONS:
Based on the information submitted in this 510(k) premarket notification, the Sorin FlexTherm is substantially equivalent to the unmodified device. The Sorin FlexTherm has the same intended use and fundamental scientific technology. The results of in vitro studies demonstrate that the Sorin FlexTherm is substantially equivalent to the unmodified device in terms of safety and effectiveness.
