Device Description Summary 21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)
The Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Delivery System is intended to assist in arresting a beating heart during cardiac surgery through controlled delivery of cardioplegia. The system consists of the Quantum Workstation, Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Delivery Module, Quantum Roller Pump 4", Quantum Diagnostic/Venilation Module, and Quantum Pureflow Cardioplegia Heat Exchanger. The Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Delivery Module was developed to supplement the existing Quantum technology and to allow users a more integrated way of managing microplegia delivery during cardiopulmonary bypass.
The Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Delivery System is intended specifically for procedures where microplegia (i.e., whole blood cardioplegia) strategy is used. The Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Delivery Module adds cardioplegia drugs (i.e., arrest agent and additive) to the main carrier solution (blood) which is circulated by a Quantum Roller Pump. The two devices, working in unison and controlled by the Quantum Workstation, deliver cardioplegia to the patient's heart.
The premise of the Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Delivery System is to interlock forward cardioplegia flow with medication delivery rates, ensuring delivery of arrest agent at a given ratio to the blood. The system includes a separate, dedicated heat exchanger, which is intended to be fitted in the cardioplegia blood line to allow for temperature regulation of the cardioplegia solution. The heat exchanger can be connected to any available heater cooler device which will manage the temperature regulation.
Intended Use/Indications for Use 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Delivery System is intended for delivery of micro-cardioplegia to the heart during open heart surgery

lasting up to six hours in duration. It is intended to be used by an experienced and trained clinician. It is not intended to be used by a patient or other untrained personnel.
## Indications for Use Comparison
**21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)**
The primary predicate and proposed devices have substantially equivalent indications for use. Both devices are intended to deliver microplegia (a type of cardioplegia also referred to as minicardioplegia or whole blood cardioplegia) to the heart during open-heart surgery. The difference between the indications for use of the predicate and the subject device is that the MPS 3 ND (predicate) also includes delivery of cardioplegia when strategies other than microplegia are used (i.e., ratio cardioplegia or all crystalloid cardioplegia). Both the primary predicate and proposed devices are used in a hospital operating room by a perfusionist on patients of all ages and genders.
The reference device has much broader indications for use (delivery of fluid and blood) than the proposed device.
## Technological Comparison
**21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)**
Both the primary predicate and proposed devices have independent control of the arrest agent and additive. In both devices, the delivery of arrest agent and additive is interlocked with the blood flow in the cardioplegia line. The infusion mechanism (operating principle), however, is different between the primary predicate and the proposed device. The Quest MPS3 ND uses a single piston pump driven by a stepper motor for arrest agent/additive delivery and a double piston pump for blood delivery. The Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Delivery Module uses a syringe plunger driven by a stepper motor with a lead screw for arrest agent/additive delivery, and a roller pump for blood (mixed with cardioplegia drugs) delivery. The linear pump used in the Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Module is equivalent to the reference device (Perfusor Syringe Infusion Pump by B. Braun Medical).
Additionally, while the primary predicate (MPS3 ND) delivers cardioplegic agents from a pouch type container, the reference device (Perfusor), like the Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Delivery Module, uses a syringe to hold the medication/agent.
Both the primary predicate and proposed device monitor the following parameters: drug concentrations (set parameters), flow rates, pressures, and temperature. Both the MPS 3 ND predicate device and the Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Delivery System rely on external heater-cooler units to regulate the temperature of the solution that is being delivered to the patient. Both devices use external heat exchangers.
The units of delivery of arrest agent and additive are the same between the primary predicate and proposed device. The concentration range of arrest agent in the primary predicate is 0-40 mEq/L whereas in the proposed device it is 0-25 mEq/L.
Both the primary predicate and proposed devices use an integrated touchscreen to control the device functions, whereas the proposed Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Delivery System can also display information on the much larger screen on the Quantum Workstation to make it easier to see while controlling other parameters of the cardiopulmonary bypass. Information such as temperature, flow, pressure, drug concentration, and delivery route are displayed to the user. Both devices can deliver the same concentration range of arrest agent and additive with the same infusion accuracy.
The primary predicate and proposed device use a variety of accessories. The primary predicate includes disposable cardioplegia delivery sets and extension lines and uses a disposable water circuit with dripless connectors. Similarly, the syringes and extension lines compatible for use with the Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Delivery System are disposable.
Results from the testing conducted on the subject device demonstrate that the differences in technological characteristics between the subject device and the predicate device do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Thus the Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia Delivery System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (MPS 3 ND).
## Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions
**21 CFR 807.92(b)**
A suite of nonclinical tests was performed for the Quantum Micro-Cardioplegia System to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
The bench and nonclinical tests included:
- Electronic/PCBA Tests
- IEC 60601-1 Electrical Safety Tests
- IEC 60601-1-2 Electromagnetic Compatibility Tests
- Functional/Performance Tests
