## Indications for Use

Lumbar Drainage System is intended for use as a means of temporary external lumbar drainage, monitoring and collection of cerebrospinal fluid from the subarachnoid space. It is designed for use with the Phoenix Fifth Ventricle Collection Bag. Percutaneous lumbo-peritoneal shunting may be utilized in the treatment of communicating hydrocephalus. It is designed to shunt CSF from the subarachnoid space to the peritoneal cavity. The shunting may be used for evaluation or treatment of normal pressure communicating hydrocephalus. A percutaneous lumbo-peritnoeal shunt is also useful in the management of persistent cerebrospinal fluid fistulas, bulging cranial and suboccipital decompressions and transient CSF absorption defects, e.g. post meningitic or post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus.

## Device Story

Lumbar Drainage Systems and Lumbo-Peritoneal Shunts facilitate CSF management. Lumbar drainage system provides temporary external diversion, monitoring, and collection of CSF from subarachnoid space; used with Phoenix Fifth Ventricle Collection Bag. Lumbo-peritoneal shunts divert CSF from subarachnoid space to peritoneal cavity. Used in clinical settings for hydrocephalus management and CSF fistula treatment. Operated by physicians. Benefits include pressure relief and CSF absorption support.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Central nervous system fluid shunt and components (21 CFR 882.5550). System includes drainage catheters, shunts, and collection components (Phoenix Fifth Ventricle Collection Bag). Mechanical fluid diversion and collection system. No software or electronic components described.

## Regulatory 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.

## Reference Devices

Dear Ms. Smith:

Wc have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Codc of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.
