Medtronic Select CAP Arterial Cannulae. Vented, models 78818 (18 Fr.), 78820 (20 Fr.), 78822 (22 Fr.). Non-Vented Cannulae, model 78920 (20 Fr.), 78922 (22 Fr.), 78924 (24 Fr.). Sterilized using Ethylene Oxide. Non-pyrogenic. The Cannula consists of a curved, angled or beveled tip with or without flange that is permanently attached to a molded, clear, flexible PVC tapered body or wirebound PVC body. The cannula body features a tip orientation line to indicate direction of the cannula tip during cannulation. The proximal end of the cannula includes a connection site or a molded 0.95 cm (3/8 in) barbed connector with or without a molded plastic vent plug or peel cap. The vent plug or peel cap allows air to be vented from the cannula before connection to the perfusion line. The proximal end features a pressure monitoring line with a 3-way stopcock. These cannulae are intended for use in perfusion of the ascending aorta during short term (6 hours or less) cardiopulmonary bypass.

Reason: Medtronic is recalling all models of its Select 3D and Select CAP Arterial Cannula product families due to reports of the cannula body splitting near the suture collar.
