SALIENT FEATURES AND CHARACTERISTICS

The components of the CBP machine include the following:

· Venous cannula

· Arterial cannula

· Oxygenator

· Reservoir container

· Pumps

· Tubing

· Heat exchanger

· Cardiotomy suckers

· Cardiac Vents and

· Adjuncts such as the level detector, arterial line pressure meter, arterial line bubble trap and filter, cardioplegia line pressure meter, gas line filter, gas flow meter, and one-way valves on cardiac vents.

The circuit is constructed using the components. The CPB circuit (heart-lung machine) is quite complex.

SPECIFIC NEED/ SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

Salient Characteristics S5 Heart Lung Machine

• Electronic Remote Clamp (ERC) for CP5 centrifugal pump Clamps arterial line when detects retrograde flow, or level or bubble alarm. Only manufacture that offers the safety ERC.

• Completely modular, can be built to any configuration.

• Single and double-headed mast-mounted pumps offered as option.

• An innovative, hard-wearing setting knob (incremental shaft encoder) is used to adjust the set speed of roller pumps electronically

• The optimized pump head geometry (horse-shoe shaped) keeps pressure peaks during operation to a minimum.

• Each pump can be operated in continuous or pulse mode.

• Every pump has a stop link function. This function can be connected to the arterial pump. If the arterial pump stops, the stop link pump also stops.

• Each roller pump can be rotated 180 degrees for proper tubing orientation.

Autotransfusion Machine

• Two independent red cell sensors, allowing a high filling of the bowl and thus an excellent supernatant washout and high outlet hematocrit

• Hematocrit sensor, measures hematocrits of both the salvaged blood and processed blood (to be given back to patient)

• Pressure sensor, shuts off pump when line is clamped, or pressure builds for other reasons…safety feature to prevent spills, sprays

• Advanced data management capabilities

• The waste line color indicator is an optical sensor providing on-screen information at-a glance on the wash quality by a visual indicator

• Vacuum pump that can be used intraoperatively, or taken off machine and used independently as a stand-alone device

• The huge storage capacity of the machine allows transportation for all the necessary disposable to start the procedure. The cart was designed to transport more than 6 liters of fluids and maintain stability

Monitoring System The Cardiovascular Systems CDI Blood Parameter Monitoring System is a blood monitoring system to be used on a single patient during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. It continuously monitors the blood in the extracorporeal circuit and provides ongoing information about the blood parameters. This information is displayed on the easy-to-read screen.

The monitors and displays the values of Partial pressure of oxygen (PO2), Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), pH, Potassium (K+), Oxygen saturation (SO2), Hematocrit (HCT), Hemoglobin (Hgb) and Temperature. In addition, the CDI System 550 can calculate and display Base excess (BE), Bicarbonate (HCO3-), Oxygen saturation (SO2) [calculated when measured is not available], Oxygen consumption (VO2), Oxygen delivery (ḊO2) The system can display the blood parameters either at actual temperature or adjusted to 37°C.

Provide continuous potassium, measured blood PCO2 and pH.
