"The STI 1/2"" x 1/16"" (4 pcs) is a Single Tube Insert RPM, RPM 20-230 functions as an accessroy for The Heart-Lung Machine HL 20, which is a modular system to drive, control and Monitor extracorporeal circulation. A heart lung machine is used in different surgical and non-surgical specialties. Cardiac surgical procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass comprise the vast majority of applications. However, there are some very special procedures that may require a heart-lung machine for extracorporeal bypass support. During these procedures the HL 20 adopts the blood pumping function of the heart while a disposable oxygenator takes over the gas exchange functionalities of the lung."
An assembly of devices that provides mechanical circulatory support during open-heart surgery, bypassing the heart to facilitate surgery on the organ. The basic function of the machine is to oxygenate the body's venous supply of blood and then pump it back into the arterial circuit. It will typically provide intracardiac suction, filtration, and temperature control. This device typically consists of mains electricity (AC-powered) console with roller pumps, oxygenators, a heat exchanger, temperature regulators, a reservoir, filters, a defoamer, and a handcrank for manual emergency rotation of a blood pump. Some systems are manufactured as a single unit while others are made up of modules.
