← Product Code LXC · K041771 # TWIN STAR COMPARTMENT SYNDROME PRESSURE MONITORING AND FLUID COLLECTION CATHETER SYSTEM (K041771) _Twin Star Medical, Inc. · LXC · Sep 14, 2004 · OR · SESE_ **Canonical URL:** https://fda.innolitics.com/device/K041771 ## Device Facts - **Applicant:** Twin Star Medical, Inc. - **Product Code:** LXC - **Decision Date:** Sep 14, 2004 - **Decision:** SESE - **Submission Type:** Traditional - **Device Class:** Class U - **Review Panel:** OR ## Intended Use The Twin Star Compartment Pressure Monitoring and Fluid Collection Catheter System is intended for the immediate or continuous measurement of intracompartmental pressure and is intended for the withdrawal of fluid for subsequent analysis. The measured pressures and the withdrawal of fluid are used as an aid in the diagnosis of compartment syndrome. ## Device Story System comprises introducer (sheath over stainless steel trocar) and indwelling catheter; used for intramuscular compartment pressure monitoring and interstitial fluid sampling. Introducer facilitates access to targeted muscle compartment; catheter allows pressure measurement and fluid withdrawal for up to 24 hours. Device interfaces with external equipment including vacuum pump, infusion pump, pressure transducer, and monitor. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings. Output (pressure readings and fluid samples) assists physicians in diagnosing compartment syndrome. ## Clinical Evidence Evidence includes animal model testing and human clinical studies comparing the subject device to the predicate system for measuring intracompartmental pressure. ## Technological Characteristics System includes introducer (sheath and stainless steel trocar) and indwelling catheter. Designed for use with external pressure transducers, monitors, and pumps. Intended for short-term (up to 24 hours) use. ## Predicate Devices - Stryker Intra-Compartment Pressure Monitor System ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
