Intended Use
The Miethke proSA Adjustable Shunt System is intended to shunt cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lateral ventricles of the brain into the peritoneum. Adjustments of the proSA shunt can be verified by using the verification instrument but must be confirmed by radiograph (X-ray).
Device Description
proSA is an adjustable gravitational valve that can be set for a range of pressures. The proSA valve is comprised of a titanium housing that contains a tantalum weight, leaf spring and ball mechanism. The pressure setting is magnetically controlled by internal magnets. Several manual devices are available to verify the pressure setting and to set or re-set the pressure. These manual accessories are for external use by the physician. Once verified using the verification instrument the setting must be confirmed with an X-ray. The proSA adjustable gravitational valve includes the same legally marketed accessories that are available with the Miethke Shunt Systems.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and magnetic properties, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms or data processing for decision-making. The verification process is manual and requires radiographic confirmation.

Yes
The device is intended to shunt cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to the peritoneum to manage intracranial pressure, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is a shunt system that diverts CSF; it does not diagnose a condition. While it has an accessory for verification and requires X-ray confirmation of its setting, these steps are for confirming the device's function and position, not for diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical, implantable shunt system made of titanium with internal components and manual external accessories. It is not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Miethke proSA Adjustable Shunt System is an implantable device designed to drain cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to the abdomen. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for shunting CSF, not for performing diagnostic tests on bodily fluids or tissues.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical components and how it functions as a shunt, not on analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, assays, sample collection, or any other elements typically associated with IVD devices.

While the device's setting is verified using an external instrument and confirmed by X-ray (an imaging modality), these are part of the device's operation and verification process, not diagnostic tests performed on biological samples.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Preclinical testing was performed to demonstrate that the Aesculap Miethke proSA Adjustable Shunt System performs as intended and is safe and effective. Testing was conducted in accordance with ISO 7197:2006 and included Leak, Pressure-Flow, Overpressure, Dynamic Break Strength, Bursting Pressure, Reflux performance, and Long Term Stability. Angle dependence testing was also performed.

In addition testing was performed according to the following MRI standards:

  • ASTM F2119 Evaluation of MR Image Artifacts.
  • ASTM F2182 Measurement of Radio Frequency Induced Heating During. Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • ASTM F2213 Qualitative Measurement of Magnetically Induced Torque in the Magnetic Resonance Environment
  • ASTM F2052 Measurement of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force on.
  • the in the Magnetic Resonance Environment

The results and evaluation conclude that the device is MR Conditional in 3-Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems according to ASTM F 2503 and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Ms. Racosky:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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.
