## Intended Use

These cannulae are intended for use in venous drainage via the right atrium and inferior vena cava simultaneously during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.

## Device Story

ULTRAFLEX™ Venous Cannula is a medical device used during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery to facilitate venous drainage from the right atrium and inferior vena cava. The device features an occluder with a malleable stylet to assist clinicians in positioning and placement within the patient. Available in 23 and 29 Fr. diameters, the cannula may optionally include a Carmeda® bioactive coating. It is intended for use by trained medical professionals in a surgical setting. By providing a pathway for venous blood drainage, the device supports the extracorporeal circulation process, enabling the heart-lung machine to oxygenate blood and maintain systemic perfusion during cardiac procedures.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance established through in vitro visual, dimensional, simulated use, and functional testing. Additional testing performed on Carmeda® coated devices to verify coverage and bio-activity.

## Technological Characteristics

Venous drainage cannula available in 23 and 29 Fr. diameters. Features an occluder with a malleable stylet for positioning. Optional Carmeda® bioactive coating. Device is a passive mechanical catheter for cardiopulmonary bypass.

## Regulatory Identification

A cardiopulmonary bypass vascular catheter, cannula, or tubing is a device used in cardiopulmonary surgery to cannulate the vessels, perfuse the coronary arteries, and to interconnect the catheters and cannulas with an oxygenator. The device includes accessory bypass equipment.

### Device Description:

The ULTRAFLEX™ Venous Cannula is designed for use with cardiopulmonary bypass as a venous drainage cannula. The occluder with a malleable stylet aids in positioning and placement of the cannula. The device is available in 23 and 29 Fr. diameters. The device may also include Carmeda® coating.

#### Indication for Use

This product is intended for use with cardiopulmonary bypass as a venous drainage cannula.

#### Comparison to Predicate Devices

The predicate devices are cannulae with the same or similar design characteristics. The predicate cannulae VC2® Two Stage Venous Cannula has the same indications for use. The other predicate cannulae Bio-Medicus® Femoral Cannula and Introducer features the same material and similar introducer configuration and tip design to the ULTRAFLEX™.

#### Summary of Performance Data

In vitro visual, dimensional, simulated use and functional testing was used to establish the performance characteristic of the modifications of this device from previously marketed devices. In addition coverage, bio-activity and functional testing was performed on Carmeda® coated devices.

#### Conclusion

Medtronic Perfusion Systems has demonstrated that the ULTRAFLEX™ Venous Cannulae are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based upon design, test results, and indications for use.

Dear Mr Jain:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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.
