FDA has cleared a LivaNova 510(k) for its LifeSPARC system, a new circulatory support pump and controller, intended for use in providing temporary support for emergent rescue patients in a variety of settings. The device includes four specialized and ready-to-deploy kits, each designed to support diverse cannulation strategies, the company says. It is intended to pump blood through an extracorporeal circuit for periods lasting less than six hours for the purpose of providing either: (**1**) full or partial cardiopulmonary bypass (i.e., circuit includes an oxygenator) during open surgical procedures on the heart or great vessels; or (**2**) temporary circulatory bypass for diversion of flow around a planned disruption of the circulatory pathway necessary for open surgical procedures on the aorta or vena cava.
