Intended Use
The use of the ACT II MP Monitoring System by a qualified neurosurgeon is indicated when direct measurement of intracranial pressure in patients is required and when the patient may require CSF drainage in the course of their care or when data from a second parameter may be deemed useful in optimum patient management.
Device Description
The ICP monitor uses a bolt anchored in the skull. The bolt holds an air-column catheter with a flaccid bladder on the distal end. The proximal end of the catheter is attached to a pressure transducer placed in the distal end of a standard cable. The cable can be attached directly to any patient monitor. The ICP monitoring technology is based on Boyle's law. The bladder volume changes to accommodate PTV =P2V2 The pressure in the bladder, catheter and transducer thereby mirrors that of ICP. The air required to activate the bladder is introduced into the bladder when a piston on the proximal end of the catheter is joined to a cylinder on the transducer housing. The bladder air is replaced once per shift by removing and replacing the transducer housing on the piston. A probe guide is incorporated into the cap placed on the bolt at the factory and into the cap that accompanies the drainage catheter. The guides direct the path of a probe inserted through the cap/bolt. The guide tube does not enter the brain but stops just above the drill hole. Both caps provide a compression fitting that secures and seals the probe to the cap. The catheter is a single lumen catheter. A preloaded stylet is used for catheter insertion and placement. A luer connector is provided to connect the catheter to a standard CSF collection system. The bolt provides an access port through which a ventricular catheter can be introduced if drainage is needed. Should drainage of CSF be indicated, the top cap of the bolt is removed and the ACT II Ventricular Catheter is inserted into a ventricle. Once the catheter is in place, a preinstalled elastomeric sleeve and compression cap are moved down the catheter to the bolt. The cap compresses the sleeve against the bolt and catheter anchors the catheter in place.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and physical principles (Boyle's Law, pressure transduction, mechanical anchoring) and standard biocompatibility/performance testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No.

The device is described as a monitoring system that measures intracranial pressure and can facilitate CSF drainage. While CSF drainage might alleviate symptoms, the primary stated function relating to patient management is measurement, not direct therapeutic intervention.

Yes.
The device's intended use is to "direct measurement of intracranial pressure," which is a diagnostic purpose to assess a patient's condition.

No

The device description clearly details multiple hardware components including a bolt, catheter, pressure transducer, cable, probe guide, and stylet. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This testing is performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The ACT II MP Monitoring System directly measures intracranial pressure within the patient's body (in vivo). It involves inserting a catheter and bolt into the skull.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "direct measurement of intracranial pressure in patients" and potential CSF drainage. This is an in-vivo procedure.

Therefore, the device's function and intended use fall outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

2.4 Equivalent device

The ACT II MP ICP Monitoring System is a substantially equivalent device to the ACT II ICP Monitoring System 510(k) K010422 by InnerSpace and to the introducer kits described in 510(k) K002765 by Licox.

2.5 Description of the ICP Monitoring Device

The ICP monitor uses a bolt anchored in the skull. The bolt holds an air-column catheter with a flaccid bladder on the distal end. The proximal end of the catheter is attached to a pressure transducer placed in the distal end of a standard cable. The cable can be attached directly to any patient monitor. The ICP monitoring technology is based on Boyle's law. The bladder volume changes to accommodate PTV =P2V2 The pressure in the bladder, catheter and transducer thereby mirrors that of ICP. The air required to activate the bladder is introduced into the bladder when a piston on the proximal end of the catheter is joined to a cylinder on the transducer housing. The bladder air is replaced once per shift by removing and replacing the transducer housing on the piston

2.6 Description of the probe guide

A probe guide is incorporated into the cap placed on the bolt at the factory and into the cap that accompanies the drainage catheter. The guides direct the path of a probe inserted through the cap/bolt. The guide tube does not enter the brain but stops just above the drill hole. Both caps provide a compression fitting that secures and seals the probe to the cap.

2.7 Description of the Ventricular Catheter

The catheter is a single lumen catheter. A preloaded stylet is used for catheter insertion and placement. A luer connector is provided to connect the catheter to a standard CSF collection system.

The bolt provides an access port through which a ventricular catheter can be introduced if drainage is needed. Should drainage of CSF be indicated, the top cap of the bolt is removed and the ACT II Ventricular Catheter is inserted into a ventricle. Once the catheter is in place, a preinstalled elastomeric sleeve and compression cap are moved down the catheter to the bolt. The cap compresses the sleeve against the bolt and catheter anchors the catheter in place.

The intent of the basic system design is to provide a minimally invasive ICP monitoring device to which a drainage capability can be added if needed. The intent of the MP system is to add a probe guide to the basic system. The probe guide can be seen in the graphics following the text of Section 5. For purposes of clarity, the graphics portraying the approved predicate device will be identified as the basic device. The graphics of the new device will be identified to as the MP device. A catheter capable of measuring another parameter, such as tissue oxygen, that may be inserted into the brain through the cap will be referred to as a probe.

Pressure sensor

The pressure sensor, its mounting and use are unchanged

Transducer housing

The housing that engages the bolt is unchanged.

2.7 Intended Use of the Device

The device is to be used in patients who require continuous ICP monitoring, who may require drainage of CSF and who may require monitoring of a second parameter such as tissue oxygen.
