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.
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 control unit for settings and monitoring, with no mention of AI/ML terms or capabilities.

Yes.
The device is used for reducing intracranial pressure through drainage and monitoring, which directly treats a medical condition.

Yes

The device "measures ICP" (intracranial pressure), which is a physiological parameter used to diagnose and monitor medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a Control Unit, Tube Set, Catheter, peristaltic pump, pinch valve, and aspiration bag, indicating it is a physical medical device with software control, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for monitoring intracranial pressure and draining intracranial fluid from the patient's body. This is a direct intervention on the patient, not the analysis of a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The device describes a system for drainage and monitoring in situ (within the patient's head). While it mentions that CSF samples can be taken from an aspiration port, the primary function is not the analysis of these samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health. The IRRAflow® CNS System does not perform this function.

The device is clearly described as a system for managing intracranial pressure and fluid within the patient.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

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.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The use of IRRAflow 0 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.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

Conclusion:

The IRRAflow® CNS System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K171880). The IRRAflow® CNS System has the same intended use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the predicate devices. The minor differences in the indications for use between the IRRAflow® CNS System and the predicate device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness.
