Intended Use
The AVECOR MYOtherm™ XP Cardioplegia Delivery System is a device intended for the mixing, warming/cooling, and delivery of oxygenated blood/cardioplegia solution in a predetermined ratio. Blood/cardioplegia solution is delivered to the patient through the cardioplegia delivery system and appropriate cannula by the operation of a single occlusive roller pump.
Device Story
The MYOtherm XP Cardioplegia Delivery System is a medical device used during cardiac surgery to manage cardioplegia delivery. It functions by mixing oxygenated blood with cardioplegia solution in a specific ratio and regulating the temperature (warming/cooling) of the mixture. The system is operated by a single occlusive roller pump, which delivers the solution to the patient through a cannula. It is intended for use in a clinical setting, such as an operating room, by trained medical professionals. By providing controlled delivery of cardioplegic solution, the device assists in maintaining the patient's heart during surgery, potentially improving surgical outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. In vitro study using fresh heparinized bovine blood circulated through test circuits for six hours. Evaluated cellular damage (platelet and white blood cell depletion, plasma hemoglobin generation) compared to the predicate MYOtherm system. T-tests showed no significant differences in blood trauma. Additional functional testing included heat exchanger performance, pressure drop, gross air management, and structural integrity.
Technological Characteristics
The device is a cardioplegia delivery system consisting of a heat exchanger and mixing components. It operates via a single occlusive roller pump. Materials are biocompatible. The system is designed for integration into extracorporeal circuits. No software or electronic algorithms are utilized; the device is mechanical in nature.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the mixing, warming/cooling, and delivery of oxygenated blood/cardioplegia solution in a predetermined ratio to patients during surgical procedures requiring cardioplegia delivery via a single occlusive roller pump.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A cardiopulmonary bypass blood reservoir is a device used in conjunction with short-term extracorporeal circulation devices to hold a reserve supply of blood in the bypass circulation.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls), except that a reservoir that contains a defoamer or filter is classified into the same class as the defoamer or filter. The device, when it is a cardiopulmonary bypass blood reservoir that does not contain defoamers or blood filters, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

### SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS SUMMARY
### FOR THE AFFINITY
### MYOTHERM™ XP CARDIOPLEGIA DELIVERY SYSTEM
The AVECOR MYOtherm™ XP Cardioplegia Delivery System is a device intended for the mixing, warming/cooling, and delivery of oxygenated blood/cardioplegia solution in a predetermined ratio. Blood/cardioplegia solution is delivered to the patient through the cardioplegia delivery system and appropriate cannula by the operation of a single occlusive roller pump.
## SAFETY TESTING
Blood trauma was assessed by comparison of cellular damage during in vitro perfusion through the MYOtherm XP Cardioplegia Delivery System to the cell damage generated by the similar commercially available MYOtherm Cardioplegia Delivery System. The measurement of cellular depletion and hemolysis (plasma hemoglobin generation) was determined by utilizing fresh heparinized bovine blood circulated at specified constant flow rates for a six hour period. Cardioplegia delivery systems of each type were tested using in vitro test circuits. The test circuits with the MYOtherm systems were constructed as closely as possible to the test circuits containing the MYOtherm XP systems. Any differences in the design of the test circuits were due to differences between the MYOtherm and MYOtherm XP Cardioplegia Delivery Systems. A static pool of blood was simultaneously sampled with the test circuits to demonstrate acceptable hematologic parameters during the test period.
The cellular damage observed in the cardioplegia delivery systems were compared through T-tests to measure significant differences between the systems. Cellular damage to blood as measured by platelet and white blood cell depletion, (reported as a percentage of baseline values) and plasma hemoglobin generation (mg/dl) was not significantly different among the systems.
Material utilized in the production of the MYOtherm XP Cardioplegia Delivery System have been tested for biocompatibility and was found acceptable. The test results may be found in Section V of this submission.

# EFFECTIVENESS INFORMATION
Effectiveness of the MYOtherm XP Cardioplegia Delivery System was determined by evaluating its operational characteristics as defined by the following tests:
- Heat exchanger performance
- Pressure drop
- Gross air management
- Structural integrity
Performance by the above testing shows that the MYOtherm XP Cardioplegia Delivery System is effective and meets all functional requirements of a cardioplegia delivery system.

Dear Mr. Steger:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls.
