Intended Use
The use of IRRAflow CNS System is indicated when intracranial pressure monitoring is required and for externally draining intracranial fluid as a means of reducing intracranial pressure in patients where an external drainage and monitoring system is needed for ≤ 24 hours.
Device Description
The IRRAflow® CNS System is an intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring and drainage system. The IRRAflow CNS System consists of an IRRAflow Control Unit and two sterile disposable parts, the IRRAflow Tube Set and the IRRAflow Catheter. The drainage flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into the IRRAflow Catheter is uni-directional and gravity-driven; there is no recirculation of the CSF. A parallel line from the saline infusion bag is used in case clearance at the tip of the catheter is required. The IRRAflow Tube Set has a cassette that clicks on to the IRRAflow Control Unit and aligns the tubing against a peristaltic pump and pinch valve. An aspiration bag is attached to the Control Unit tape measure, defining the height of the bag relative to the catheter's tip position in the patient's head and thus controlling the speed of drainage. The tubing and catheter can be disconnected and connected by standard Luer-Lock connectors. Settings can be changed via the user interface on the Control Unit. The default mode provides drainage and measuring ICP, allowing single bolus injections when indicated. The bolus injections allow the catheter to be flushed when it becomes clogged. CSF or intracranial fluid samples can be taken from the aspiration port.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical and gravity-driven fluid management with a peristaltic pump and pinch valve, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

Yes.

The device is indicated for "reducing intracranial pressure" by "externally draining intracranial fluid," which are therapeutic actions.

No

The device is primarily an intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring and fluid drainage system. While it monitors ICP, its main function is therapeutic (reducing pressure by draining fluid) rather than diagnostic (identifying a disease or condition).

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a Control Unit and sterile disposable parts (Tube Set and Catheter), which are hardware components. The performance studies also include testing on these physical components (Biocompatibility, Bench and Electrical, Shelf Life, Sterilization).

Based on the provided information, the IRRAflow CNS System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for intracranial pressure monitoring and external drainage of intracranial fluid in patients. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic and monitoring purposes.
  • Device Description: The device description details a system that is inserted into the brain ventricles to drain fluid and measure pressure. This is an invasive procedure performed on the patient.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The IRRAflow CNS System does not perform any analysis on specimens outside the body. While samples can be taken from the aspiration port, the device itself is not performing the diagnostic test on those samples.

The IRRAflow CNS System is a medical device used for monitoring and therapeutic intervention directly on the patient.

Discussion of differences in Table 1

IFU:

EVD Catheter:

Both systems attach to a separate commercially available EVD catheter. The IRRAflow CNS system user manual instructs the users to only use approved IRRAflow catheters, which are provided by IRRAS Inc.

This does not impact the functionality or intended use of the system as compared to its predicates.

Method to control gravity drainage of CSF:

The IRRAflow CNS System has built in functionality to control the drainage of CSF which is different than the predicate, which relies on manual methods. This minor difference does not impact the functionality or intended use of the system when compared to its predicate.

Software-based. Powered Console:

For the predicate, a transducer can be attached that allows for ICP measurement and visual display via a connected monitor to provide a display and user interface for ICP monitoring.

The IRRAflow CNS System has this functionality built into the central unit reducing the risk of faulty connections impacting the readings. This minor difference does not impact the functionality or intended use of the system as compared to its predicate.

8

Method to account for location of ventricles via patient head position:

Both systems have methods to account for the location of the ventricles via the patient head position. The predicate uses a laser to align with the patient. The IRRAflow CNS System uses zero-line markings on the unit itself to align with the patient's head position.

This minor difference does not impact the functionality or intended use of the system as compared to its predicate.

Measured Pressure Range:

The predicate range of 0 to 31 cm H20 translates to 0 to 22.8 mmHg. The wider range of the IRRAflow CNS System (-80 to 100 mmHz) does not impact the functionality or intended use of the system as compared to its predicate. The purpose of the larger ICP range is to provide the physician a broader breadth of data and information during treatment.

Any differences between the IRRAflow CNS System and the predicate systems do not alter the substantial equivalence or intended use of the IRRAflow CNS System. The substantial equivalence of the IRRAflow CNS System as compared to the predicate devices has been demonstrated via bench testing.

Battery Back-up:

The IRRAflow CNS System is designed with a battery backup which is an improvement over the predicate device. This minor difference does not impact the functionality or intended use of the system as compared to its predicate.

Any differences between the IRRAflow CNS System and the predicate systems do not alter the substantial equivalence or intended use of the IRRAflow CNS System. The substantial equivalence of the IRRAflow CNS System as compared to the predicate device has been demonstrated via bench testing.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The IRRAflow CNS System's Catheter technological characteristics and principles of operation are similar to the VentriClear II Ventricular Drainage catheter (K160223).

Comparison of these Catheters is provided in table 2 below

Table 2 - Substantial Equivalence Comparison - Catheters

Discussion of differences in Table 2

Catheter Working Length:

The working length of the VentriClear II Catheter is 330mm; the IRRAflow Catheter working length is 400 cm.

The difference in catheter working length is not significant and does not impact the functionality or intended use of the system as compared to its predicates. The working lengths of both the VentriClear II Catheter reference device and the IRRAflow Catheter are within the range of working lengths of ventricular drainage catheters.

This does not impact the functionality or intended use of the system as compared to its predicates.

10

Antimicrobial Agents:

The VentriClear II Catheter material includes antimicrobial agents (minocycline and rifampin). The IRRAflow Catheter material does not include any antimicrobial agents. The absence of antimicrobial agents in the IRRAflow Catheter does not impact the functionality or intended use of the Catheter.

This does not impact the functionality or intended use of the system as compared to its predicates.

Shelf Life:

The VentriClear II Catheter has a shelf life of 2 years, whereas the IRRAflow Catheter currently has a listed shelf life of 18 months. The current difference in catheter shelf life is not significant and does not impact the functionality or intended use of the system as compared to its predicates.

Verification and Validation Documentation:

The IRRAflow CNS System tests include verification and validation performance testing as well as externals standards testing to demonstrate no new safety and effectiveness issues are raised with this new device. Analyses demonstrate that system accuracy and performance are adequate for the established intended use. In conclusion, the IRRAflow CNS System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Substantially equivalent summary:

Performance data demonstrate that the IRRAflow CNS System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Conclusion:

The IRRAflow CNS System is substantially equivalent to the predicate, the Medtronic PS Medical External Drainage and Monitoring System (Becker EDMS) (K984053) and the VentriClear II Ventricular Catheter (K160223). The IRRAflow CNS System has the same indications for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the predicate devices. The minor technological differences between the IRRAflow CNS System and the predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness.
