Affinity Pixie™
Oxygenation System
AFFINITY PIXIE™ OXYGENATION system
The Affinity Pixie™ Oxygenation System delivers performance and versatility for neonates, infants and small children requiring cardiopulmonary bypass at flow rates up to 2.0 L/minute. Its comprehensive system design offers ease of setup, ease of use, and minimised prime volumes.
The system features the Affinity Orbit™ Holder System, which provides even greater device positioning flexibility to adapt to your preferred circuit setup.
Two biocompatible surface options are provided for the oxygenator and cardiotomy/venous reservoir:
- Durable, Non-leaching End Point Attached Heparin
- Provides thromboresistance and enhanced blood compatibility
- A hydrophilic biosurface option without heparin
- Reduces platelet activation
- Reduces platelet adhesion
- Preserves platelet function1
AFFINITY PIXIE™ OXYGENATOR
Advanced Affinity™ Oxygenator Technology in a compact, low-prime design
This paediatric oxygenator features:
- 2.0 L/min maximum flow rate with just 48 mL prime
- The Medtronic proprietary graduated fiber bundle density technology, together with a radial-radial flow path, which create a uniform blood flow distribution through the bundle, enhance gas transfer, reduce pressure drop, and decrease fiber bundle prime volume
- Cortiva™ and Balance™ Biosurface*
- Device and accessories do not contain DEHP.
AFFINITY PIXIE™ CARDIOTOMY/VENOUS RESERVOIR
Ergonomic, easy-to-use design. Minimised blood contact with antifoam
This paediatric cardiotomy/venous reservoir features:
- 2.0 L/min maximum flow rate
- 1200 mL volume capacity
- 20 mL minimum operating volume without vortex formation
- Non-foaming blood does not contact antifoam at typical reservoir operating levels
- Independent rotation of venous inlet and cardiotomy turret
- Vacuum assisted venous drainage-ready design
- Cortiva™ and Balance™ Biosurface*
- Device and accessories do not contain DEHP.
