Intended Use
The Cordis Cyst Puncture Catheter Kit is intended to facilitate puncturing thick-walled or mobile intracranial cysts, allowing insertion of a ventricular catheter for cyst drainage.
Device Description
The Cordis Cyst Puncture Catheter kit consists of a ventricular catheter with enlarged holes whose distal tip has been modification allows the sharpended stylet to be inserted through and locked into the distal tip. This facilitates cyst puncture. The kit also includes sharp- and blunt-ended stylets to facilitate catheter placement. The catheter is manufactured from silicone elastomer made radiopaque with barium sulfate.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and materials, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts like image processing, training data, or performance metrics associated with AI/ML algorithms.

Yes
The device is described as facilitating cyst puncture and allowing insertion of a ventricular catheter for cyst drainage, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is intended to facilitate puncturing cysts and inserting a ventricular catheter for drainage, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a catheter, stylets, and materials (silicone elastomer, barium sulfate), indicating it is a hardware medical device kit.

Based on the provided information, the Cordis Cyst Puncture Catheter Kit is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate a surgical procedure (puncturing and draining intracranial cysts) within the body. IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter and stylet system designed for direct insertion into the body. This is characteristic of a medical device used for intervention, not for analyzing samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any process that would be performed in vitro.

Therefore, the Cordis Cyst Puncture Catheter Kit is a medical device used for a surgical procedure, not an IVD.

Device Description

The Cordis Cyst Puncture Catheter kit consists of a ventricular catheter with enlarged holes whose distal tip has been modification allows the sharpended stylet to be inserted through and locked into the distal tip. This facilitates cyst puncture. The kit also includes sharp- and blunt-ended stylets to facilitate catheter placement. The catheter is manufactured from silicone elastomer made radiopaque with barium sulfate (see Section 5 for Biocompatibility Assessment and Appendix III for Radiopacity Validation Data).

Standard stereotactic techniques are used to localize the cyst entry point. The bluntended stylet, included in the kit, inserted into the catheter to approach the cyst wall. After contacting the cyst wall, the blunt-ended stylet is exchanged for the sharp-ended stylet. The sharp-ended stylet is pushed through the small hole in the distal catheter tip until the flange is seated against the molded shelf of the catheter. The stylet/catheter assembly is then advanced until the sharp-ended stylet punctures the cyst wall. The ventricular catheter can then be advanced into the lumen of the cyst. The stylet is then withdrawn, leaving the catheter in place to drain the cyst.

§ 882.5550 Central nervous system fluid shunt and components.

(a)
Identification. A central nervous system fluid shunt is a device or combination of devices used to divert fluid from the brain or other part of the central nervous system to an internal delivery site or an external receptacle for the purpose of relieving elevated intracranial pressure or fluid volume (e.g., due to hydrocephalus). Components of a central nervous system shunt include catheters, valved catheters, valves, connectors, and other accessory components intended to facilitate use of the shunt or evaluation of a patient with a shunt.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
