A. DESCRIPTION
SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O is a new-concept microporous hollow fibre membrane
oxygenator It is composed of a gas exchange module connected to an integrated
heat exchanger, an arterial filter and a collapsible venous reservoir.
The self-debubbling arterial filteris made up ofa 40 µm filter screen.
SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O is coated with Phosphorylcholine (Ph.I.S.I.O).
Devices coated with Ph.I.S.I.O are used when a coated blood path is desired. The
Ph.I.S.I.O coating improves the blood compatibility of the device byreducing platelet
adhesion on the coated surfaces.
The device is single-use, non-toxic, apyrogenic, supplied STERILE in individual
packaging. Sterilized by ethylene oxide.
The level of ethylene oxide residuals in the device is in conformity with the
provisionsofthe legislation in force in thecountry ofuse.
The device is available in the following version:
[A] SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O with integrated arterial filter and collapsible
venousreservoir.

C. INTENDED USE
SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O is intended for use in cardiopulmonary bypass circuits as
substitute for the lungs (transferof oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide), to control
the arterial/venous temperature, and as venous blood reservoir and filter element to
eliminate blood component aggregates larger than 40 µm. The blood to be treated
must contain anticoagulant.
SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O is an ADULT oxygenator intended for use in operations on
adults patients.
SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O must not be used for longer than 6 hours. Contact with
blood for longer periods is inadvisable.
SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O must be used in combination with the medical devices
listed in sectionL (Medical devices for use with SYNTHESIS C Ph.I.S.I.O).
D. SAFETY INFORMATION
Information intended to attract the attention of the user to potentially dangerous
situations and to ensure correct and safe use of the device is indicated in the text in
the following way:
WARNING indicates serious adverse reactions and potential safety hazards for
the practitioner and/or the patient that may occur in proper use or misuse of

The following is general safety information with the aim of advising the operator in
preparing touse the device.
Specific safety information is also given in the instructions for use at locationsin the
text where that information is relevant forcorrect operation.
-The user should carefully check the device for leaks during set-up and
priming.. Do not use if any leak is detected.
-The device must be used in accordance with the instructions for use
provided in this manual.
-For use by professionally trained personnelonly.
-SorinGroup Italia isnot responsible for problems arising from inexperience
or improper use.
-FRAGILE. Handle with care.
-Keep dry. Store at room temperature.
-Always apply and maintain a correct dose and accurately monitor the
anticoagulant before, during and after the bypass.
-For single use and for single-patient use only. During use the device is in
contact with human blood, body fluids, liquids or gases for the purpose of
eventual infusion, administration or introduction into the body, and due to
its specific design it cannot be fully cleaned and disinfected after use.
Therefore, reuse on other patients might cause cross-contamination,
infection and sepsis. In addition, reuse increases the probability of product
failure (integrity, functionality and clinical effectiveness).
-The device must not undergo any further processing.
-Do not resterilize.
