Background
On April 6, 2020 the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published the following
guidance:
Devices during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pubic Health Emergency.”
Under this guidance, the FDA is allowing temporary, limited modifications to the indications of certain
FDA-cleared or FDA-approved cardiopulmonary devices without prior submission of premarket
notification. These modifications are allowed, due to the public health emergency related to COVID-19,
when they do not create an undue risk. This indication modification is in effect for the duration of the
public health emergency related to COVID-19, as declared by the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS).
Indications for use
“Enforcement Policy for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Cardiopulmonary Bypass
In accordance with the FDA guidance, the devices listed below have a modified indication for use during
the COVID-19 public health emergency. This indication modification has not been cleared or approved
by the FDA, but shall apply temporarily to the device models listed in this supplement:
The device can be used for longer than 6 hours in an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
circuit to treat patients who are experiencing acute respiratory or acute cardiopulmonary failure.
The table below shows the part numbers, device descriptions, and FDA-cleared indications for use for
the various cannulae granted the above modified indication.

Femoral Cannulae
and Introducers
Cannula Kits
Cannulae are used to cannulate vessels, perfuse vessels
or organs, and/or connect with accessory extracorporeal
equipment. The cannula introducer is intended to
facilitate proper insertion and placement of the
appropriately-sized cannula within the vessel for
cardiopulmonary bypass. The Bio-Medicus cannula (18
cm (7.09 in) tip length models) may be used in either the
femoral position as an arterial delivery cannula or in the
jugular position as a venous return cannula. These
products are intended for use up to 6 hours.

Device performance
There are no changes to device performance as described in the instructions for use for these devices.
Summary of durability testing
Medtronic conducted in vitro testing and reliability and life testing on these devices. The testing showed
no failures.
Medtronic also conducted functional testing to demonstrate product reliability using worst case
pediatric and adult cannulae models, following environmental conditioning, aging, and simulated use
conditioning at maximum flow rates for up to 6 hours of use. All devices met the performance
requirements with no failures.
