Cardioplegia plays a critical role keeping the heart protected and arrested during cardiopulmonary bypass, by maintaining a desired ratio of blood and cardioplegic solution at a prescribed temperature.

The Medtronic MYOtherm XP Cardioplegia Delivery System was specifically designed to effectively handle air, in a low prime design, while providing fast responses through efficient heat transfer.

The MYOtherm XP System has advantages that set it apart from other cardioplegia products.

• Unique design of the blood inlet port promotes even blood flow over the stainless-steel bellows for single-pass heat exchange


• Heat Exchanger diverter wall traps air as it directs the flow of blood from the bellows to the top of the outlet chamber


• “Bottom-in, Bottom-out” design provides fast response times over a range of flow rates


• Temperature-monitoring site (TMA) in middle of the blood outlet for accurate temperature monitoring

150 micron filter captures any air emboli and particulates as blood exits the outlet chamber

• Pressure relief valve protects the heat exchanger from over-pressurization


• Available in Medtronic's custom tubing packs

*Available with Carmeda BioActive Surface or Trillium BioSurface for your "tip-to-tip" needs.
