Intended Use
Use of the CODMAN MICROSENSOR Basic Kit is indicated when direct ICP monitoring is required. The kit is indicated for use in both subdural and intraparenchymal pressure monitoring applications only. Use of the CODMAN MICROSENSOR Plastic/Metal Skull Bolt Kit is indicated when direct intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is required. The kit is indicated for use in both subdural and intraparenchymal pressure monitoring applications. Use of the Ventricular Catheter Kit is indicated when direct intraventricular pressure monitoring is required. The kit is indicated for use in ICP monitoring and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage applications.
Device Description
The Microsensor monitors intracranial pressure (ICP) through either a stand-alone probe, or a probe coupled with an EVD catheter, and is intended to be used in conjunction with the Codman ICP Express (product code 82-6635) neuromonitoring platform products. The ICP Express and Codman Microsensor are intended for use in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). The Microsensor converts the pressure signal to a voltage signal. The monitor provides power to the Microsensor, interprets the voltage signal from the Microsensor, and displays the corresponding pressure measurements taken by the Codman Microsensor during a patient's treatment and during patient transport. There is no change to the Codman ICP Express monitor as a result of the probe modifications described in this submission. The Codman Microsensor probe contains a small, thin and delicate pressure sensor used to measure the intracranial pressure. The sensing element uses a strain gauge located at the tip of the probe. The sensing element is protected by a titanium housing and is exposed to the environment via a silicone membrane. The sensor is connected via wires to a plastic connector housing, and the wires are snaked through a nylon catheter. The connector housing includes a compensation/calibration passive circuit on a Printed Circuit Board and has an electrical connector to attach the ICP Express monitoring box. The Codman Microsensor Kits include components needed to facilitate the surgical implantation of the ICP Microsensor. The components that will be included with the proposed Codman Microsensor are currently cleared devices, and are identical to the components currently packaged within the current Codman Microsensor kits (i.e. via this 510k, there are no changes being made to the kit components, only the Microsensor is being updated). Each component and their function are described in the Description section of the Instructions for Use for each kit.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on a pressure sensor and its connection to a monitor, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data processing or interpretation. The performance studies are standard bench and safety tests, not related to AI/ML model validation.

No.
The device is used for monitoring intracranial pressure, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device measures intracranial pressure (ICP), which is a physiological parameter used to diagnose and monitor neurological conditions. The measurement of this parameter provides information about the patient's condition, making it a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly details hardware components such as a pressure sensor, strain gauge, titanium housing, silicone membrane, wires, plastic connector housing, and a Printed Circuit Board. It also mentions surgical implantation and compatibility with a neuromonitoring platform, indicating a physical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "direct ICP monitoring" and "cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage applications." This involves measuring pressure within the body (intracranial, intraventricular, subdural, intraparenchymal).
  • Device Description: The description details a "pressure sensor used to measure the intracranial pressure" and how it's implanted and connected to a monitor. This is a device that interacts directly with the patient's internal environment.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices that are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, outside of the body.

This device is an implantable or invasive medical device used for physiological monitoring, not for testing samples in a laboratory setting.

Device Description

The Microsensor monitors intracranial pressure (ICP) through either a stand-alone probe, or a probe coupled with an EVD catheter, and is intended to be used in conjunction with the Codman ICP Express (product code 82-6635) neuromonitoring platform products. The ICP Express and Codman Microsensor are intended for use in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). The Microsensor converts the pressure signal to a voltage signal. The monitor provides power to the Microsensor, interprets the voltage signal from the Microsensor, and displays the corresponding pressure measurements taken by the Codman Microsensor during a patient's

treatment and during patient transport. There is no change to the Codman ICP Express monitor as a result of the probe modifications described in this submission.

The Codman Microsensor probe contains a small, thin and delicate pressure sensor used to measure the intracranial pressure. The sensing element uses a strain gauge located at the tip of the probe. The sensing element is protected by a titanium housing and is exposed to the environment via a silicone membrane. The sensor is connected via wires to a plastic connector housing, and the wires are snaked through a nylon catheter. The connector housing includes a compensation/calibration passive circuit on a Printed Circuit Board and has an electrical connector to attach the ICP Express monitoring box.

The Codman Microsensor Kits include components needed to facilitate the surgical implantation of the ICP Microsensor. The components that will be included with the proposed Codman Microsensor are currently cleared devices, and are identical to the components currently packaged within the current Codman Microsensor kits (i.e. via this 510k, there are no changes being made to the kit components, only the Microsensor is being updated). Each component and their function are described in the Description section of the Instructions for Use for each kit.

Temperature SensitivityThe purpose of this test is to confirm the sensitivity of the pressure output to temperature changes.PASS:
Seal IntegrityThe purpose of this test is to confirm that there is no fluid ingress into the probe's sensing element. Seal integrity refers to the mechanical barrier that prevents fluids to contact the electrical components of the pressure probe sensing elements.PASS:
Bond StrengthThe purpose of this test is to confirm the mechanical strength of the device and determine if it meets the pull force requirements.PASS:
FlexibilityThe purpose of this test is to confirm the flexibility of the device (coiling) and determine if it affects its ability to measure pressure.PASS:
KinkThe purpose of this test is to confirm the kink resistance of the device and determine if it affects its ability to measure pressure.PASS:
Connector Cycles and ImpedanceThe purpose of this test is to confirm the reliability of the device's connector by measuring the input and output impedance after a connect/ disconnect simulation and to confirm that the input and output impedance values meet specifications.PASS:
Zero OffsetThe purpose of this test is to confirm that initial zero offset of the pressure sensor is within the specified value.PASS:
Heat TransferThe purpose of this test is to confirm that the heat dissipation of the implantable portion of the device does not exceed the maximum temperature recommended in ANSI AAMI NS28(1988)-R(2010).PASS:
Frequency ResponseThe purpose of this test is to confirm the frequency response (i.e., bandwidth) of the devicePASS:
EnvironmentalThe purpose of this test is to confirm that the device are not affected by transportation conditions (e.g., vibration and drops), that it can be stored at the specified temperature and humidity levels, and that it can operate within the expected environmental conditions including temperature, humidity and altitude.PASS:
