Intended Use
The polyurethane-coated Delta Valves, polyurethane-coated CSF-Flow Control Valves, Contoured, and Burr Hole are components of polyurethane shunt systems designed for use in shunting cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricles of the brain into the right atrium of the heart or to the peritoneal cavity. The Polyurethane shunt and shunt components are designed to eliminate patient exposure to silicone elastomer. The polyurethane-coated Delta Valve minimizes the excessive reduction of intraventricular pressure and volume due to excessive drainage of CSF, which may be caused by the siphoning effect of hydrostatic pressure of the distal catheter. The siphon effect may be created by the elevation of the ventricular catheter with respect to the distal catheter (i.e., when the patient sits, stands, or is held erect).
Device Description
A Ventricular Catheter manufactured of Polyurethane tubing. A Flow Control Valve manufactured of a Polypropylene base and a silicone elastomer housing which incorporates a Tecoflex elastomer resin, polyurethane coating. A Cardiac/Peritoneal Catheter manufactured of Polyurethane tubina.

No
The document describes a mechanical shunt system and its components, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
This device is a therapeutic device because its intended use is to shunt cerebrospinal fluid from the brain to the heart or peritoneal cavity, which directly treats a medical condition (e.g., hydrocephalus).

No

This device is a shunt system designed to drain cerebrospinal fluid, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components made of polyurethane, polypropylene, and silicone elastomer, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The described device is a shunt system designed to drain cerebrospinal fluid from the brain into the heart or peritoneal cavity. This is a surgical implant and a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a procedure to manage cerebrospinal fluid flow within the body, not to analyze a sample for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The components are catheters and valves designed for implantation and fluid management, not for performing laboratory tests.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of an implantable medical device used for therapeutic purposes, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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).
