Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in plasma free hemoglobin [ Time Frame: From Start of cardiopulmonary bypass procedure and end of cardiopulmonary bypass procedure (e.g. approximately 3 hours) ]
  2. Assessment of serious device related adverse events [ Time Frame: From time of enrollment through ICU discharge (e.g. ICU stay of approximately 4 days) ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Ventilator time [ Time Frame: From start of cardiopulmonary bypass procedure through ICU discharge (e.g. ICU stay of approximately 4 days) ]
  2. Time in the ICU [ Time Frame: From the end of cardiopulmonary bypass procedure through ICU discharge (e.g. ICU stay of approximately 4 days) ]
  3. Days in the hospital [ Time Frame: From the end of the cardiopulmonary bypass procedure through hopsital discharge (e.g. ICU stay of approximately 4 days) ]
  4. Incidence/progression of Acute Kidney Injury [ Time Frame: From Baseline through ICU discharge (e.g. ICU stay of approximately 4 days) ]
  5. mortality [ Time Frame: From time of enrollment through 30 days post procedure ]
  6. Adverse event rates [ Time Frame: through 30 days ]
  7. Vital signs [ Time Frame: From Baseline through ICU discharge (e.g. ICU stay of approximately 4 days) ]
  8. Safety Laboratory assessments [ Time Frame: From Baseline through ICU discharge (e.g. ICU stay of approximately 4 days) ]
