Intended Use

The major indication of external drainage is the management of hydrocephalic shunt infections. External drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to control increased intercranial pressure may also be indicated if an internal shunt is not indicated or during the treatment of other cerebral conditions such as pre-operative drainage, intraventricular hemorrhage and post-operative pressure monitoring. This device should only be used by a physician or qualified personnel under the direction of a physician.
