MEDICAL DEVICES FOR USE WITH SYNTHESIS C PH.I.S.I.O
SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O is a new-concept microporous hollow fibre membrane
oxygenator. It is composed of a gas exchange module connected to an integrated
heat exchanger, an arterial filter and a collapsible venous reservoir.
The self-debubbling arterial filter is made up of a 40 µm filter screen.
SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O is coated with Phosphorylcholine (Ph.I.S.I.O).
Devices coated with Ph.I.S.I.O are used when a coated blood path is desired. The
Ph.I.S.I.O coating improves the blood compatibility of the device by reducing platelet
adhesion on the coated surfaces.
The device is single-use, non-toxic, apyrogenic, supplied STERILE in individual
packaging. Sterilized by ethylene oxide.
The level of ethylene oxide residuals in the device is in conformity with the
provisions of the legislation in force in the country of use.
The device is available in the following version:

C. INTENDED USE
SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O is intended for use in cardiopulmonary bypass circuits as
substitute for the lungs (transfer of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide), to control
the arterial/venous temperature, and as venous blood reservoir and filter element to
eliminate blood component aggregates larger than 40 µm. The blood to be treated
must contain anticoagulant.
SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O is an ADULT oxygenator intended for use in operations on
adults patients.
SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O must not be used for longer than 6 hours. Contact with
blood for longer periods is inadvisable.
SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O must be used in combination with the medical devices
listed in section L (Medical devices for use with SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O).
D. SAFETY INFORMATION

Specific safety information is also given in the instructions for use at locations in the
text where that information is relevant for correct operation.
- The user should carefully check the device for leaks during set-up and
priming. Do not use if any leak is detected.
- The device must be used in accordance with the instructions for use
provided in this manual.
- For use by professionally trained personnel only.
- Sorin Group Italia is not responsible for problems arising from inexperience
or improper use.
- FRAGILE. Handle with care.
- Keep dry. Store at room temperature.
- Always apply and maintain a correct dose and accurately monitor the
anticoagulant before, during and after the bypass.
- For single use and for single-patient use only. During use the device is in
contact with human blood, body fluids, liquids or gases for the purpose of
eventual infusion, administration or introduction into the body, and due to
its specific design it cannot be fully cleaned and disinfected after use.
Therefore, reuse on other patients might cause cross-contamination,
infection and sepsis. In addition, reuse increases the probability of product
failure (integrity, functionality and clinical effectiveness).
