Medtronic Myotherm Cardioplegia Delivery System

– The Medtronic MYOtherm Cardioplegia Delivery System was specifically designed to effectively handle air, in a low-prime design, while providing fast responses through efficient heat transfer
– 4:1 Blood to Crystalloid ratio & bridge between blood & crystalloid lines
– Unique design of the blood inlet port promotes even blood flow over the stainless-steel bellows for single-pass heat exchange
– Heat Exchanger diverter wall traps air as it directs the flow of blood from the bellows to the top of the outlet chamber
– Bottom-in, Bottom-out design provides fast response times over a range of flow rates
– Temperature-monitoring site (TMA) in middle of the blood outlet for accurate temperature monitoring
– 150-micron filter captures any air emboli and particulates as blood exits the outlet chamber
– Pressure relief valve protects the heat exchanger from over-pressurization
