Read the full statement (168 words)

The CentriMag Extracorporeal Blood Pumping System is a non-roller-type cardiopulmonary and circulatory bypass blood pump used to pump a patient's blood through an extracorporeal circuit for periods lasting less than 6 hours for the purpose of providing either:

i. Full or partial cardiopulmonary bypass (i.e., circuit includes an oxygenator) during open surgical procedures on the heart or great vessels: or

ii. Temporary circulatory bypass for diversion of flow around a planned disruption of the circulatory pathway necessary for open surgical procedures on the aorta or vena cava

The CentriMag™ Blood Pump for use with the CentriMag™ Acute Circulatory Support System (Motor, Monitor, Console, and Flow Probes) is indicated for controlling blood flow as part of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit. ECMO is intended to provide assisted extracorporeal circulation and physiologic gas exchange of the patients' blood for adult patients with acute respiratory failure and/or acute cardiopulmonary failure, where other available treatment options have failed, and continued clinical deterioration is expected or the risk of death is imminent.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
