Use of the CODMAN EDS 3 CSF External Drainage System is indicated for draining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and other fluids of similar physical characteristics as a means of reducing intracranial pressure and CSF volume when the insertion of a permanent, internal shunt is not indicated.
Device Story
The Codman EDS 3 is an external drainage system designed to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and similar fluids from a patient. It operates based on differential pressure between the device and the patient to control the rate of fluid collection. The system is used to reduce elevated intracranial pressure and CSF volume in clinical settings where a permanent internal shunt is not indicated. The device is operated by healthcare professionals. It functions as a passive collection system; it does not involve complex electronic processing or automated decision-making. The output is the physical collection of CSF, which allows clinicians to monitor and manage intracranial pressure, potentially benefiting patients by preventing complications associated with elevated pressure.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
External CSF drainage system; operates via differential pressure; mechanical fluid collection; no electronic components or software; non-powered.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or similar fluids to reduce intracranial pressure and CSF volume when permanent internal shunting is not indicated.
Regulatory Classification
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.

CODMAN® EDS 3™ CSF External Drainage System Proprietary Name: Common Name: External CSF Drainage System
Classification Name: Central nervous system fluid shunt and components
Predicate Device: K902257 External Drainage System II K910938 External Drainage System II K954021 External Drainage System II
Device Description: The EDS 3 system is designed to collect cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and other fluids of similar physical characteristics from a patient at a controlled rate based on differential pressure between the device and the patient. Collecting CSF from the patient is performed in efforts to reduce elevated intracranial pressure (ICP).
- Intended Use: Use of the EDS 3 system is indicated for draining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and other fluids of similar characteristics as a means of reducing intracranial pressure and CSF volume when the insertion of a permanent, internal shunt is not indicated.
- Performance Data: The fundamental scientific technology of EDS 3 is the same as EDS II. Bench testing was performed for the EDS 3 system. The modified device was deemed acceptable according to the acceptance criteria; therefore, the safety and efficacy of the product was not affected.
