Vanguard Blood Cardioplegia Delivery Set

D921, D924, D924S, D928S, D924P are circuits designed to administer cardioplegic solution containing blood with a fixed blood/asanguineous cardioplegic solution ratio. Cardioplegic solution is used for perfusion of the coronaries during cardiopulmonary bypass, when the aorta is clamped, and the intention is to protect the myocardium during the anoxic phase.

The sets are disposable, non-toxic and non-pyrogenic and are supplier sterile in individual packs.

Vanguard Blood Cardioplegia Delivery Set

The sets differ in the ratios of blood to cardioplegic solution and whether or not they are equipped with shunt and luer.

  • Blood compartment inlet
  • Blood compartment outlet
  • Filtrate outlet (UFT)

Safety Information

Intended Use

Vanguard Cardioplegia Sets are for the administration of cardioplegic solution containing blood, with the aid of a low flow pump.

This set allows control of the flow, the temperature and infusion (line) pressure of the cardioplegic fluid. The pump permits total control of the infusion parameters, flow and quantity of solution delivered. The perfusion temperature depends on the thermal parameters of the cold water source which supplies the VANGUARD heat exchanger.
