Circulatory System Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee Meeting

Circulatory System Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee Meeting Committee Meeting : December 5-6, 2012 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. (Day 2 of 2) Agenda: On December 6, 2012, the committee will discuss and make recommendations regarding the 515(i) order issued by FDA on April 9, 2009 [Docket No. FDA-2009-M-0101], for Nonroller-type cardiopulmonary bypass blood pumps, one of the remaining pre-Amendment Class III devices. A nonroller-type cardiopulmonary bypass blood pump is a device that uses a method other than revolving rollers to pump blood. There are two types of nonroller-type pumps which have been reviewed by the Agency: 1) Centrifugal type pumps utilize a rotor to impart energy to the blood in an extracorporeal circuit through centrifugal forces. These pumps are part of an extracorporeal circuit usually containing an oxygenator and are intended to provide cardiopulmonary support, during procedures such as cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, for periods lasting 6 hours or less. 2) Micro-axial type pumps are comprised of a pump motor, a cannula and a catheter that connects to a console. These pumps are not designed to be used with an oxygenator but are temporarily placed within the heart or vasculature to provide cardiac support only.
