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
Horizontal-Vertical Lumbar Valve Systems: The Horizontal-Vertical Lumbar Valve System is an implantable device that provides controlled intraventricular pressure and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage from the lumbar subarachnoid region to the peritoneal cavity. The system minimizes overdrainage by automatically compensating for changes in CSF hydrostatic pressure when the patient changes from a recumbent to an upright position. Spetzler Lumbar Peritoneal Shunt Systems: The Spetzler Lumbar Peritoneal Shunt Systems are designed to shunt cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lumbar subarachnoid space to the peritoneum. Due to the small diameter of the catheter tubing, shunting may be accomplished by percutaneous techniques. The lumbar catheter is inserted into the lumbar subarachnoid space through a 8.89cm (3½-inch), 14- gauge Tuohy spinal needle with a Huber tip. A catheter passer and peritoneal trocar may be used to bring the peritoneal catheter section around the flank and into the peritoneal cavity. A variety of devices are available: a one-piece model without a reservoir; separate large or small reservoirs that contain a one-way valve, which may be used when a flushing capability is required; and a separate miter valve, available in low, medium, or high pressure, which may be used when added resistance is desired.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical components and fluid dynamics for CSF shunting, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is used for the treatment of communicating hydrocephalus by shunting cerebrospinal fluid.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The shunt may be used for diagnosis, evaluation or treatment of normal pressure communicating hydrocephalus."

No

The device description clearly states it is an "implantable device" and describes physical components like valves, catheters, and needles, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The described devices (Horizontal-Vertical Lumbar Valve Systems and Spetzler Lumbar Peritoneal Shunt Systems) are implantable devices used to shunt cerebrospinal fluid from one part of the body to another. Their function is to manage fluid flow and pressure within the body, not to analyze specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states they are for the "treatment of patients with communicating hydrocephalus to shunt cerebrospinal fluid" and for managing conditions like "persistent cerebrospinal fluid fistulas." This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical components and how they are implanted and function within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

While the antechamber allows for CSF sampling, this is a feature to facilitate a separate diagnostic procedure (CSF sampling), not the primary function of the device itself as an IVD. The device's core purpose is the physical shunting of fluid.

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 perioneal 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 perioneal 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-memingitic 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.

The proposed Horizontal-Vertical Lumbar Valve Systems and Spetzler Lumbar Peritoneal Shunt Systems have the same technological characteristics compared to the predicate devices of the same name (K101381) as shown in the table below. The update of the MRI safety information in the labeling to increase the maximum spatial gradient and to align with the FDA's guidance document "Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment to the labeling does not alter the indications for use, intended use, materials of composition, manufacturing and sterilization process, or the fundamental scientific technology of the devices. This update to the labeling is consistent with that cleared under K152897, which serves as a reference device for this submission.
