The device consists of an angled stainless steel suction wand, a rigid fluted suction tip, and a 1/4" barbed connector. The handle and connector are constructed from medical-grade ABS plastic. The device is intended for use by clinicians in a surgical setting. It functions as a passive conduit for suction, connecting to external hospital suction systems to clear fluids, thereby maintaining visibility and a clean surgical site for the surgeon. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Stainless steel wand, medical-grade ABS plastic handle and connector. Design: Angled wand with rigid, fluted suction tip and 1/4" barbed proximal connector. Operation: Passive suction instrument; no energy source or software. ## Regulatory Identification A cardiopulmonary bypass cardiotomy return sucker is a device that consists of tubing, a connector, and a probe or tip that is used to remove blood from the chest or heart during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9. ## Predicate Devices - Research Medical, Inc.
