Intended Use
The Strata NSC Lumboperitoneal Shunt System provides continued cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow from the subarachnoid space into the peritoneal cavity. The Strata NSC Lumboperitoneal Valve allows the physician to non-invasively adjust the pressure/flow performance level pre- and post-implantation without the need for radiographic confirmation in order to address changing patient needs. The Strata NSC Lumboperitoneal Shunt System is designed for management of communicating hydrocephalus.

More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical shunt system with an adjustable valve, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is designed to manage communicating hydrocephalus by providing continued cerebrospinal fluid flow, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device, a lumboperitoneal shunt system, is designed for the management and diversion of cerebrospinal fluid, which is a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple implantable hardware components, including a valve, catheters, strain relief, and fixation tabs.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Strata NSC Lumboperitoneal Shunt System is an implantable medical device designed to divert cerebrospinal fluid within the body. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it provides "continued cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow" and is for the "management of communicating hydrocephalus." This describes a treatment, not a diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The components listed are all implantable parts of a shunt system, not laboratory equipment or reagents used for testing samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Strata NSC Lumboperitoneal Shunt System is a therapeutic medical device, 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)

Intended Use

The Strata NSC Lumboperitoneal (LP) Valve and Shunt System are designed for the management of communicating hydrocephalus, including normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), also known as pseudotumor cerebri.

Indications for Use

The Strata NSC Lumboperitoneal Shunt System provides continued cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow from the subarachnoid space into the peritoneal cavity. The Strata NSC Lumboperitoneal Valve allows the physician to non-invasively adjust the pressure/flow performance level pre- and post-implantation without the need for radiographic confirmation in order to address changing patient needs. The Strata NSC Lumboperitoneal Shunt System is designed for management of communicating hydrocephalus.

Technological Comparison and Performance Characteristics

The predicate Strata NSC Valve was cleared in April 2004 (K033850) and was developed to serve those patients who needed an adjustable valve technology but without the siphon control feature. The predicate CSF-Lumboperitoneal Shunt was cleared in August 1983 (K831396). The Strata NSC LP Valve and Shunt System utilize the same fundamental scientific technology, materials, and sterilization method as the predicates. The device combines the Strata-type adjustable technology with geometrical shunt features that are tailored for use in the lumboperitoneal configuration (shunting from the intrathecal space of the spine to the peritoneal cavity).

Test Data

Testing performed on the Strata NSC LP Valve and Shunt System verified that the system met the required specifications and acceptance criteria.

Summary

Based upon the product technical information, intended use, and test data, the Strata NSC LP Valve and Shunt System have been shown to be substantially equivalent to currently marketed predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Henderson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
