Intended Use
The Stockert V142 Series Venous Cannulae with Lighthouse Tip are intended to be used for cannulating the superior or the inferior vena cava during standard cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
Device Story
The Stockert V142 Series Venous Cannulae are sterile, single-use, wire-reinforced catheters designed for venous drainage during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. The device consists of a cannula tube with an integrated, helically wound stainless steel wire to prevent kinking and a distal open 'lighthouse' tip to facilitate blood flow. It is available in sizes ranging from 28 Fr to 36 Fr with a length of 40 cm. The device is operated by a surgeon or perfusionist in an operating room setting. It functions as a passive conduit for venous return from the patient to the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. By providing a kink-resistant pathway for blood drainage, the device supports the maintenance of extracorporeal circulation during cardiac procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Single-stage, wire-reinforced venous cannula. Materials: stainless steel wire encapsulated in cannula wall. Dimensions: 40 cm length, 28-36 Fr sizes. Connectivity: 3/8" connector. Sterilization: sterile, non-pyrogenic, single-use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for cannulation of the superior or inferior vena cava in patients undergoing standard cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
