Intended Use
The STRATA™ Valve is a shunt component designed to provide continued Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) flow from the ventricles of the brain into the right atrium of the heart or the peritoneal cavity. The design allows the physician to non-invasively adjust valve pressure/performance level pre- and post-implantation by using a special magnetic adjustment tool. The tamper resistant design helps ensure that the valve's performance level is not inadvertently changed.
Device Description
The STRATA™ Valve incorporates a ball and cone pressure valve in series with a normally closed siphon control mechanism. This combination enables the valve to maintain intraventricular pressure (IVP) within a normal physiological range, regardless of a patient's CSF flow requirements or body position. Similar to the Hakim Programmable Valve and the Sophysa Pressure Adjustable Valve, the STRATA™ Valve incorporates the following features: (1) valve mechanism (spring biased ball in cone/seat), (2) 316L Stainless Steel spring coils for pressure flow regulation, (3) internal magnet, (4) valve element (ruby), (5) outer jacket (silicone elastomer). Additionally, the STRATA™ Valve incorporates a tamper-resistant internal dis-adjustment mechanism to prevent extreme changes in pressure (i.e., from the highest to the lowest settings) and a strong return spring to stabilize the rotor. The STRATA Valve is available with the BioGlide surface modification, identical to that reviewed under K951258. The product is also provided as part of a shunt configuration equivalent to that reviewed under K900676 and K951258. The shunt consists of the valve and a proximal and distal catheter, equivalent to those reviewed under K792007 and K792005.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical components and physical mechanisms for regulating CSF flow and pressure. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is a shunt component designed to provide continued Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) flow from the ventricles of the brain, which treats a medical condition (hydrocephalus) by replacing or restoring a bodily function.

No

The device is a shunt component designed to manage cerebrospinal fluid flow, not to diagnose a condition. Its function is therapeutic/management, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details physical components such as a ball and cone pressure valve, spring coils, internal magnet, ruby valve element, and silicone elastomer outer jacket. It is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a "shunt component designed to provide continued Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) flow from the ventricles of the brain into the right atrium of the heart or the peritoneal cavity." This describes a device that is implanted in the body to manage fluid flow, which is a therapeutic or surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components and mechanism of the valve, all of which are related to its function within the body for CSF management. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition
    • Use in a laboratory setting

Therefore, the STRATA™ Valve is a medical device used for the treatment of hydrocephalus or similar conditions requiring CSF diversion, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 882.5550 Central nervous system fluid shunt and components.

(a)
Identification. A central nervous system fluid shunt is a device or combination of devices used to divert fluid from the brain or other part of the central nervous system to an internal delivery site or an external receptacle for the purpose of relieving elevated intracranial pressure or fluid volume (e.g., due to hydrocephalus). Components of a central nervous system shunt include catheters, valved catheters, valves, connectors, and other accessory components intended to facilitate use of the shunt or evaluation of a patient with a shunt.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Intended Use Predicate Device:

Hakim Programmable Valve

A shunt component designed to provide continued Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) flow from the ventricles of the brain into the right atrium of the heart or peritoneal cavity. The design allows the physician to non-invasively adjust valve pressure/performance level pre- and post-implantation by using a special valve programming unit.

Sophysa Pressure Adiustable Valve System

An implantable device designed for the treatment of hydrocephalus in adult and pediatric patients by shunting, thereby providing continuous controlled intraventricular pressure and CSF drainage from the cerebral ventricles. Intraventricular pressure is maintained at a constant level by the device's ball in cone valve seat design, and the valve is pressure adjustable transcutaneously.

Delta Valve

A shunt component designed to provide continued Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) flow from the ventricles of the brain into the right atrium of the heart or peritoneal cavity with a siphon control component to minimize the influence of negative hydrostatic pressure caused by the vertical siphon effect of the distal catheter, thereby minimizing over-drainage of the ventricles of the brain which result from a siphon condition.

Technological comparison: The STRATA™ Valve is equivalent to the Hakim Programmable Valve, Sophysa Pressure Adjustable Valve, Delta Valve and BioGlide CSF Flow Control Shunt Kit in components, materials, construction and performance specifications. All components have been deemed biocompatible and chemically acceptable and are, thus, safe and effective for the valve's intended use.
