The Lilliput PH.I.S.I.O Infant Oxygenator, manufactured by Dideco S.P.A., received FDA clearance via the 510(k) pathway on April 25, 2000. It is classified as a Class 2 device under product code DTZ.

What It Is

The Lilliput PH.I.S.I.O Infant Oxygenator is a hollow fiber oxygenator designed for use in extracorporeal circulation during infant cardiac surgeries. It works by facilitating gas exchange, allowing for the removal of carbon dioxide and the addition of oxygen to the blood. The phospholipidic inert surface reduces the risk of clotting and inflammatory responses, which is crucial in delicate neonatal and pediatric populations.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in neonatal and pediatric cardiac surgery settings, particularly during procedures that require cardiopulmonary bypass. It is essential for maintaining adequate oxygenation in infants with congenital heart defects undergoing surgical repair. Pediatric cardiac surgeons and perfusionists in specialized cardiac centers are the primary users of this device.

Indications for Use

The Lilliput PH.I.S.I.O Infant Oxygenator is indicated for use in infants requiring cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery. It is specifically designed for patients with congenital heart conditions that necessitate surgical intervention.

Practical Considerations

The device is typically sized for infants, ensuring compatibility with the smaller blood volumes and flow rates in this population. It is important to ensure proper setup and priming to minimize air embolism risks. Compatibility with standard cardiopulmonary bypass equipment is generally expected.
