Brief summary

This is a two-phase study evaluating the Eurosets arterial and venous cannulas for use during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures. Phase 1 is a pilot study focused on assessing cannula safety. Phase 2 is a pivotal study aimed at confirming safety and evaluating efficacy through comparison with Medtronic cannulas (control group). The results will be compared for non-inferiority with those obtained using the control group cannulas.

Detailed description

The Clinical Investigation is a Two Phases clinical investigation consisting of a pre-Market, Pilot, Interventional, not Randomized, Monocentric Investigation to Evaluate the Safety of PVC Arterial Cannula and PVC Venous Cannula (Class III Medical Devices) intended to be used during Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) procedure followed by a pre-Market, Pivotal, Interventional, Randomized, Non- inferiority, Monocentric Investigation to confirm the Safety and evaluate the Performance of the same cannulas. The aim of these investigations are: 1) to evaluate safety of Eurosets Venous Cannula and Arterial Cannula in patients subjected to CPB and 2) to evaluate the performance and safety of Arterial Cannula and Venous Cannula intended to be used during CPB procedure. The results obtained will be compared by non-inferiority to the results obtained by Medtronic cannulae (control group).

For this Investigation the arterial cannula is reinforced-long curved with flange tip, 3/8" connector with luer lock, 24 Fr.The Venous Cannulae are designed to be used for vena cava and right atrium blood drainage during CPB surgery. For this Investigation the venous cannula is dual stage without connector, lighthouse tip, 32/40 Fr. Phase 2: Use of investigational PVC arterial and venous cannulas during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to confirm safety and evaluate performance compared to control group. For Investigation device: same of phase 1. For Control Group: the Arterial Cannula is EOPA (Medtronic), 24 Fr; the Venous Cannula is Two stage MC2 (Medtronic), 32/40 Fr.

DEVICEControl Arterial and Venous Cannulas
