Intended Use
The Miethke Shunt System is intended to shunt cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lateral ventricles of the brain into the peritoneum.
Device Description
The Miethke Shunt System miniNAV Valve is used in the treatment of hydrocephalus. The miniNAV Valve is a small cylindrical tube with inlet and outlet connections at opposite ends. A ball-in-cone valve is integrated in the inlet of the device. A spiral spring maintains the opening pressure of the ball-in-cone valve. A sapphire ball ensures the precise closure of the valve. The housing of the miniNAV Valve is manufactured from titanium. The miniNAV Valve is available as a single device as well as in combination as shunt assistants, catheters, connectors, deflectors and reservoirs. The McLanahan reservoir is a flushing reservoir. It has an integrated occlusion mechanism while flushing in both the proximal and distal directions. The McLanahan reservoir is manufactured of silicone elastomer and titanium.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical components and material properties, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended to shunt cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the treatment of hydrocephalus, which directly addresses a pathological condition in a patient.

No

The device is a shunt system used to physically drain cerebrospinal fluid, which is a treatment for hydrocephalus, not a diagnostic tool for identifying or characterizing a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly details physical components made of titanium and silicone elastomer, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Miethke Shunt System is a medical device implanted in the body to physically drain cerebrospinal fluid. It does not analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information based on those samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "to shunt cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lateral ventricles of the brain into the peritoneum." This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Miethke 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)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
