  • Disposable Scalp Retractor (Model OS0001B)
  • Disposable Drill Bit with Collar (Model 10008C)
  • Disposable Torque Wrench (Model OS0004C)
  • Disposable Antenna Holster (Model 10007A)
    Package 2) AURA™ Monitor Pack (Model TK101-A)
  • AURA™ Monitor (Model T0011B)
  • AURA™ Antenna (Model T0010A)
  • 2x Lithium-Ion 11v Rechargeable Batteries (Model T0032A)
  • Two-bay battery charger (Model T0014A)
    Package 3) AURA™ Data Receiver Pack (Model DG101-A)
  • AURA™ Data Receiver (Model D0004B)
AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study information for the AURA™ ICP Monitoring System, based on the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The FDA 510(k) summary provides a list of non-clinical bench tests performed to support substantial equivalence and demonstrate device performance. For the direct ICP measurement, the relevant standard is ANSI/AAMI NS28:1988(r)2010. While specific numerical acceptance criteria and precise reported device performance values for ICP measurement itself are not detailed in the provided text beyond meeting the standard, the document states:

Acceptance Criterion (Test Name)Reported Device Performance
ICP Monitor performance testing (ANSI/AAMI NS28:1988(r)2010)Meets pre-defined acceptance criteria (implied compliance with standard)
Pressure measurement resolution testingMeets pre-defined acceptance criteria (implied satisfactory resolution)
Barometric pressure compensation testingMeets pre-defined acceptance criteria (implied satisfactory compensation)
System response time testingMeets pre-defined acceptance criteria (implied satisfactory response time)

For Biocompatibility, specific results are provided:

Test (ISO 10993 Series)Acceptance Criterion (implicitly, "non-cytotoxic," "non-sensitizer," etc.)Reported Device Performance
MEM Elution (ISO 10993-5)Non-cytotoxicNon-cytotoxic: score of 0.
Sensitization Maximization Extract (ISO 10993-10)Non-sensitizerNon-sensitizer: No irritation was found on any of the negative control or test animals.
Intracutaneous Reactivity (ISO 10993-10)Non-IrritantNon-Irritant: The test device score for both extracts was 0.
Acute Systemic Injection (ISO 10993-11)No systemic toxicityNo systemic toxicity: No test or control animals exhibited signs of toxicity.
Subacute and Subchronic Toxicity (IV) (ISO 10993-11)No systemic toxicityNo systemic toxicity: No systemic toxic effects were observed.
Subacute and Subchronic Toxicity (IP) (ISO 10993-11)No systemic toxicityNo systemic toxicity: No systemic toxic effects were observed.
Genotoxicity - Ames (ISO 10993-3)Non-mutagenicNon-mutagenic: The test article did not cause an increase in revertant colonies for any strain greater than two-fold over negative control values.
Genotoxicity - Mutagenicity (ISO 10993-3)Non-clastogenic & non-genotoxicNon-clastogenic & non-genotoxic: No statistical significant differences (p ≥ 0.05) were noted between the test and control extracts.
Genotoxicity - Mouse Lymphoma (ISO 10993-3)Non-mutagenic & non-clastogenicNon-mutagenic & non-clastogenic: RTG was > 10%.
Subcutaneous Implantation (ISO 10993-6)Acceptable tissue reactionMacroscopic reaction not significant compared to control; microscopically, slight irritant.
Brain Tissue Implantation (ISO 10993-6)Acceptable tissue reactionNeurobehavioral, gross pathological, clinical reactions not significant; histologically, minimal or no reaction.
Mediated Material Pyrogenicity (ISO 10993-11)Non pyrogenicNon pyrogenic: Temperature increase was
