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 minimized 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:

Cortiva™ BioActive Surface

  • Durable, Non-leaching End Point Attached Heparin
  • Provides thromboresistance and enhanced blood compatibility 

Balance™ Biosurface*

  • 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 pediatric 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.

Warnings: A strict anticoagulation protocol should be followed and anticoagulation should be routinely monitored during all procedures. The benefits of extracorporeal support must be weighed against the risk of systematic anticoagulation and must be assessed by the prescribing physician. 

Caution: Federal law (USA) restricts devices coated with Cortiva™ BioActive Surface and Balance Biosurface to sale by or on the order of a physician.
