Intended Use

Horizontal-Vertical Lumbar Valve Systems are implantable devices used in the treatment of patients with communicating hydrocephalus to shunt cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lumbar subarachnoid region to the peritoneal cavity. They provide controlled intraventricular pressure and CSF drainage in patients with hydrocephalus. The antechamber can be electively mounted in line with the Valve Unit to allow for CSF sampling or injections in the subarachnoid space.

Percutaneous lumbar peritoneal shunting may be utilized in the treatment of communicating hydrocephalus. It is designed to shunt CSF from the lumbar subarachnoid space to the peritoneal cavity.

The shunt may be used for diagnosis, evaluation or treatment of normal pressure communicating hydrocephalus.

A percutaneous lumbar peritoneal shunt is also useful in the management of persistent cerebrospinal fluid fistulas, bulging cranial and suboccipital decompressions and in transient CSF absorption defects, e.g. post-meningitic or post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus.

The In-Line Valve, available as a separate component of the system, is indicated for use where added resistance is desired to alleviate symptoms of low pressure in the small percentage of patients who, after normal drainage and in the normal course of treatment, develop such symptoms.

Device Description

The Horizontal-Vertical Lumbar Valve and the Spetzler Lumbar-Peritoneal Shunt systems are implantable devices used in the treatment of patients with communicating hydrocephalus to shunt cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lumbar subarachnoid region to the peritoneal cavity. Both are differential pressure valves designed to open when the difference between ventricular or lumbar pressure and outlet cavity pressure exceeds a certain threshold.

AI/ML Overview

The Integra LifeSciences K101381 submission describes the Horizontal-Vertical Lumbar Valve Systems and Spetzler Lumbar Peritoneal Shunt Systems, which are implantable devices for shunting cerebrospinal fluid. The submission focuses on adding MRI safety information to the labeling, classifying the devices as "MR Conditional."

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Design Verification TestAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Visual InspectionAll test samples shall be complete and free of visible damage.(Not explicitly stated for the "reported device performance" section, but the overall conclusion implies compliance.) The non-clinical testing demonstrated the devices are MR Conditional.
Magnetically Induced Displacement Force Test (ASTM F2052)The amount of magnetically induced force on the device shall be less than or equal to the force on the device due to gravity."Integra NeuroSciences tests indicate that MRI exposure does not affect pressure valve settings. No significant forces or temperature changes were noticed during MRI exposure." (From the comparison table for the predicate device, which is stated to be identical.) This directly implies that the displacement force criterion was met.
Magnetically Induced Torque Test (ASTM F2213)The amount of magnetically induced torque on the device shall be less than or equal to the gravitational torque."Integra NeuroSciences tests indicate that MRI exposure does not affect pressure valve settings. No significant forces or temperature changes were noticed during MRI exposure." (From the comparison table for the predicate device, which is stated to be identical.) This directly implies that the torque criterion was met.
RF Heating Test (ASTM F2182)No portion of the implanted device shall exhibit an increase in temperature of more than 2°C at a SAR of 2W/kg."Integra NeuroSciences tests indicate that MRI exposure does not affect pressure valve settings. No significant forces or temperature changes were noticed during MRI exposure." (From the comparison table for the predicate device, which is stated to be identical.) This directly implies that the temperature increase criterion was met.
Image Artifact Test (ASTM F2119)There is no acceptance criterion as per ASTM standard; this test is performed to gather information relating to image artifacts caused by the device. This information can be included in labeling.The test was performed to gather information. (No specific numerical performance is required or reported for this test, as per the acceptance criteria itself. The intent is to provide information for labeling.) The non-clinical testing demonstrated the devices are MR Conditional, implying this information was gathered and would be included in the labeling.

Summary of Device Performance: The non-clinical testing, which included the tests listed above, demonstrated that the Horizontal-Vertical Lumbar Valve Systems and Spetzler Lumbar Peritoneal Shunt Systems are MR Conditional, as defined in the ASTM 2503-05 Standard. This classification signifies that the devices pose "no known hazards in specific MR environment with specified conditions."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance:

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact number of devices or components used for each of the non-clinical tests (Magnetically Induced Displacement Force, Torque, RF Heating, Image Artifact). It only refers to "All test samples" for visual inspection and "the device" for the other tests.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was conducted by "Integra NeuroSciences" which indicates the tests were performed internally by the manufacturer. The data is from non-clinical bench testing, not from human subjects. The country of origin is not explicitly stated for the testing, but Integra LifeSciences is based in Plainsboro, NJ, USA. The data is prospective in the sense that the tests were performed specifically for this submission to support the MR Conditional claim.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts:

This submission did not involve a test set requiring human expert ground truth. The "ground truth" for these tests are the objective physical measurements and adherence to ASTM standards regarding magnetic forces, heating, and image artifacts. These are quantifiable engineering and physics measurements.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable, as this was non-clinical bench testing involving objective measurements against defined standards, not subjective assessments requiring expert consensus or adjudication. The results would be objectively measured and compared to the predefined acceptance criteria.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

Not applicable. This submission is for medical devices (shunt systems) and focuses on their physical properties and safety in an MR environment, not on an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, an MRMC study related to human reading improvement with AI is irrelevant here.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI-powered device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

The "ground truth" for this non-clinical testing comprises:

  • Defined ASTM standards (ASTM F2052, ASTM F2213, ASTM F2182, ASTM F2119, ASTM 2503-05).
  • Objective physical measurements of magnetic force, torque, temperature increase, and observation of image artifacts, performed according to these standards.
  • The criterion for MR Conditional classification ("no known hazards in specific MR environment with specified conditions").

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set. The devices are physical medical implants.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

4. Device Description

The Horizontal-Vertical Lumbar Valve and the Spetzler Lumbar-Peritoneal Shunt systems are implantable devices used in the treatment of patients with communicating hydrocephalus to shunt cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lumbar subarachnoid region to the peritoneal cavity. Both are differential pressure valves designed to open when the difference between ventricular or lumbar pressure and outlet cavity pressure exceeds a certain threshold.

The primary issues affecting the safety and compatibility of passive implants in the MR environment concern magnetically induced displacement force and torque, radio frequency (RF) heating, and image artifacts. The addition of MRI Safety information to the labeling is intended to provide for safe use of the shunt systems by clarifying the conditions required to safely use these devices in an MR environment in a readily available, clear and concise manner, to healthcare providers.

5. Intended Use/Indications for use

Horizontal-Vertical Lumbar Valve Systems

Horizontal-Vertical Lumbar Valve Systems are implantable devices used in the treatment of patients with communicating hydrocephalus to shunt cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lumbar subarachnoid region to the peritoneal cavity. They provide controlled intraventricular pressure and CSF drainage in patients with hydrocephalus. The antechamber can be electively mounted in line with the Valve Unit to allow for CSF sampling or injections in the subarachnoid space.

Spetzler Lumbar Peritoneal Shunt Systems

Percutaneous lumbar peritoneal shunting may be utilized in the treatment of communicating hydrocephalus. The Spetzler Shunt systems are designed to shunt CSF from the lumbar subarachnoid space to the peritoneal cavity.

The shunt may be used for diagnosis, evaluation or treatment of normal pressure communicating hydrocephalus.

A percutaneous lumbar peritoneal shunt is also useful in the management of persistent cerebrospinal fluid fistulas, bulging cranial and suboccipital decompressions and in transient CSF absorption defects, e.g. post-meningitic or post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus.

The In-Line Valve, available as a separate component of the system, is indicated for use where added resistance is desired to alleviate symptoms of low pressure in the small percentage of patients who, after normal drainage and in the normal course of treatment, develop such symptoms.

7. Non-Clinical Testing

The Horizontal-Vertical Lumbar Valve Systems and Spetzler Lumbar Peritoneal Shunt Systems are identical in design. performance, and materials of composition to the currently marketed predicate systems. Since the proposed shunts and accessories are identical to the currently marketed shunts and accessories, all performance testing to the performance of the predicate devices also supports the proposed devices, and remains unchanged. Additional bench testing was performed to determine the safe use conditions for these products in the MR environment, as described below. Testing was also performed to confirm that the performance of these devices remains the same after use in an MR environment.

DESIGNVERIFICATION TESTAcceptance
Visual InspectionAll test samples shall be complete and free of visible damage.
Magnetically InducedDisplacement Force TestASTM F2052The amount of magnetically induced force on the device shall be lessthan or equal to the force on the device due to gravity.
