Intended Use
The ICP Monitor is intended for use as an interface between compatible strain gauge type pressure transducers and standard physiological pressure monitoring systems. The ICP Monitor is also intended for use as an independent pressure monitor for displaying the mean, systolic and diastolic values of a physiologic pressure waveform in the absence of an external patient monitor. The CereLink ICP Extension cable is intended for use as a connecting cable between the ICP input channel of the CereLink ICP Monitor and a CereLink ICP Sensor.
Device Description
The CereLink ICP Monitor is indicated for use in the ICU or Operating Room (OR) environment for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) via a solid-state sensor placed directly in parenchymal tissue or integrated into an external ventricular drainage catheter placed in the ventricle. In addition to monitoring ICP and activating alarms when the intracranial pressure is outside user-set limits, the device performs these functions: - Displays ICP Waveform - Displays Mean ICP numeric - Displays the historic mean pressure as a trend - Displays trend statistics (Pressure Time Dosage (PTD), time above threshold, boxplot, histogram) - Stores 14-days' worth of mean ICP values - Stores 24 hours of pressure waveform - Can capture and store screen-shots - Can download various data to a USB device for printing or analysis - Real-time data streaming of mean ICP and waveform via USB connection - Connect to external patient monitor The CereLink ICP Monitor can be transported with the hospital to continuously record data. The monitor includes a 7" color touch screen that is compatible with the use of gloves. The monitor is provided to the user with a CereLink ICP Extension Cable, external power supply, and comes equipped with an internal rechargeable battery. The monitor has one output channel to transfer physiological data to a compatible Patient Monitor, as well as one input channel to receive ICP readings from the implanted CereLink ICP sensor. The implanted sensor is connected to the CereLink ICP Monitor by way of the CereLink ICP Extension Cable; the CereLink ICP Monitor connects to compatible patient monitors through the patient monitor interface cables.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on standard physiological monitoring functions, data display, storage, and connectivity, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.

No.
The device is a monitor used to display and track intracranial pressure, and while this information is critical for patient management, the device itself does not provide a therapeutic intervention.

Yes

The device monitors, displays, and records intracranial pressure (ICP) values and waveforms, as well as providing alarms when ICP is outside user-set limits. These functions are performed to assist in the diagnosis and management of conditions related to intracranial pressure.

No

The device description explicitly states that the CereLink ICP Monitor includes hardware components such as a 7" color touch screen, an internal rechargeable battery, and input/output channels for connecting to sensors and external monitors. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The CereLink ICP Monitor is designed to directly measure intracranial pressure (ICP) within the patient's body using an implanted sensor. It monitors physiological parameters in vivo (within a living organism), not in vitro (in a test tube or laboratory setting).
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for monitoring intracranial pressure via a sensor placed directly in parenchymal tissue or integrated into an external ventricular drainage catheter. This is a direct physiological measurement, not a test on a sample.

Therefore, the CereLink ICP Monitor falls under the category of a physiological monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance testing has been conducted in support of the substantial equivalence determination. All testing was performed on production equivalent devices. Results of verification and validation testing conducted on the CereLink ICP Monitor and CereLink ICP Extension Cable demonstrate that the device performs as designed, is suitable for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

To reproduce the conditions that lead to the CereLink out-of-range errors, an in-vitro platform was developed and has been named the "electrical stress setup." The electrical stress setup simulates the external factors and elements that leads the CereLink system into the Out-of-Range state. The external factors are electrical and chemical in nature, and all must be present at a sufficient level to reproduce the failure.

The Electrical Stress Setup can consistently reproduce the Out-of-Range failures at a significantly higher rate than the failures seen in the clinical setting, allowing the setup to be used as part of design verification to demonstrate the reliability and effectiveness of the CereLink ICP Extension Cable design change. The Electrical Stress Setup was used as part of ICP Drift Test and Out of Range Failure Test.

In the ICP Drift Test, the CereLink Systems were exposed to the Electrical Stress Setup, with the ICP Extension Cable Patient Lead correctly connected. During 30 days of continuous testing, the ICP drift was found to meet the specification.

In the Out-of-Range Test, the CereLink Systems were exposed to the Electrical Stress Setup, with the ICP Extension Cable Patient Lead connected incorrectly. As expected, all CereLink Systems were induced in to the out-of-range failure within the specified time. The ICP Extension Cable Patient Lead was then connected correctly, and the test demonstrated that all CereLink Systems recovered from the failure within the specified amount of time.

Based on the testing performed, the CereLink ICP Monitor with the proposed changes to the CereLink ICP Extension Cable does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness and supports substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

807.92(b) 1-2: Summary of Nonclinical and Clinical Testing Performed

The following performance testing has been conducted in support of the substantial equivalence determination. All testing was performed on production equivalent devices. Results of verification and validation testing conducted on the CereLink ICP Monitor and CereLink ICP Extension Cable demonstrate that the device performs as designed, is suitable for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

To reproduce the conditions that lead to the CereLink out-of-range errors, an in-vitro platform was developed and has been named the "electrical stress setup." The electrical stress setup simulates the external factors and elements that leads the CereLink system into the Out-of-Range state. The external factors are electrical and chemical in nature, and all must be present at a sufficient level to reproduce the failure.

The Electrical Stress Setup can consistently reproduce the Out-of-Range failures at a significantly higher rate than the failures seen in the clinical setting, allowing the setup to be used as part of design verification to demonstrate the reliability and effectiveness of the CereLink ICP Extension Cable design change. The Electrical Stress Setup was used as part of ICP Drift Test and Out of Range Failure Test.

In the ICP Drift Test, the CereLink Systems were exposed to the Electrical Stress Setup, with the ICP Extension Cable Patient Lead correctly connected. During 30 days of continuous testing, the ICP drift was found to meet the specification.

In the Out-of-Range Test, the CereLink Systems were exposed to the Electrical Stress Setup, with the ICP Extension Cable Patient Lead connected incorrectly. As expected, all CereLink Systems were induced in to the out-of-range failure within the specified time. The ICP Extension Cable Patient Lead was then connected correctly, and the test demonstrated that all CereLink Systems recovered from the failure within the specified amount of time.

Based on the testing performed as summarized, the CereLink ICP Monitor with the proposed changes to the CereLink ICP Extension Cable does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness and supports substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
