The Medos hilite 7000 oxygenator is indicated for use in procedures requiring the extracorporeal oxygenation of and carbon dioxide removal from human blood. It is designed to operate at a blood flow rate of one (1.0) to seven (7.0) liters per minute.
A device designed for the extracorporeal diffusion of oxygen into blood across a gas-permeable membrane during a cardiopulmonary bypass or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation procedure. It includes a membrane that separates a thin layer of blood from the oxygenating gas; oxygen diffuses from the gas compartment into the blood, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood through the membrane and is flushed out of the oxygenator by the oxygen flow. The device may include an integrated heat exchanger, arterial filter, or cardiotomy/venous reservoir. This is a single-use device.
