ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Terumo Cardiovascular Group, a global leader in cardiovascular surgery technologies, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for the CDI® Blood Parameter Monitoring System 550, adding real-time monitoring of oxygen delivery as one of 12 critical blood parameters.
Oxygen delivery, or DO2, is an indicator of the amount of oxygen being delivered to a patient during cardiopulmonary bypass. Carefully monitoring DO2 has been shown to help reduce the incidence of Acute Kidney Injury, a common complication of cardiac surgery.1
“For more than 30 years, Terumo’s CDI Systems have been the most trusted and used continuous in-line blood gas monitors for critical blood parameters,” said Robert DeRyke, President and CEO of Terumo Cardiovascular Group. “We are continuing to develop monitoring technologies for the cardiac OR – and beyond – that will improve patient outcomes and result in meaningful value for our customers.”
Continuous in-line monitoring during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery is a critical component of perfusion safety. It quickly alerts clinicians to changes in patient status and delivers information on key parameters that helps clinicians manage perfusion cases.
The new CDI System 550 measures or calculates these 12 key parameters: pH, pCO2, pO2, K+, temperature, SO2, hematocrit, hemoglobin, base excess, bicarbonate, oxygen consumption and oxygen delivery.
Building on an industry-standard platform, the next-generation CDI System 550 offers market-leading optical fluorescence technology, a high-visibility LCD screen, advanced probe design, and IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition compliance.
