Perfusion Insider Summer 2016

A unique collaboration between perfusionists and Medtronic yielded 79 design enhancements on the Affinity Fusion oxygenation system. Enhancement #24 is the back-to-front flow created by the placement of the venous inlet at the back of the CVR.

Enhancement #24: Uniform Flow Distribution

Back to Front Flow minimizes areas of stagnation. The result – horizontal blood flow proactively managing suboptimal conditions such as air, fibrin, or particulate that may be present in the blood stream.
