- **Decision:** SESE
- **Submission Type:** Traditional
- **Device Class:** Class U
- **Review Panel:** OR

## Intended Use

The Twin Star Compartment Pressure Monitor and Fluid Collection Catheter System (CMS-II) is intended for the immediate or continuous measurement of intracompartmental pressures and/or the withdrawal of fluid for subsequent analysis. The measured compartmental pressures can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of compartment syndrome.

## Device Story

System consists of introducer (tear-away sheath over stainless steel trocar), pressure monitoring and fluid collection (PMFC) catheter, fluid collection (FC) catheter, and compartment pressure monitor. Introducer facilitates placement of indwelling catheter into muscle compartment. Catheter monitors intramuscular pressure and allows interstitial fluid sampling for up to 24 hours. Monitor displays intracompartmental pressure. Used in clinical settings to aid compartment syndrome diagnosis. Provides healthcare providers with real-time pressure data to inform clinical decision-making and patient management.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evidence includes biocompatibility, electrical safety testing, and design verification. Risk analysis and software validation were conducted to confirm system operations.

## Technological Characteristics

System includes stainless steel trocar, plastic tear-away sheath, and indwelling catheters. Features include pressure sensing, fluid collection capability, and electronic pressure display. Single-patient use. Electrical safety testing performed. Software-based system operations validated.

## Predicate Devices

- Twin Star Compartment Monitoring and Fluid Collection Catheter System (Catheter, [K041771](/device/K041771.md))
- Twin Star Compartment Pressure Monitoring and Fluid Collection Monitor (CMS Monitor, [K060963](/device/K060963.md))

compartment to facilitate the placement of the indwelling Pressure Monitoring Fluid Collection / Fluid Collection catheter. The indwelling Catheter is designed to monitor intramuscular compartment pressure as well as provide a means to sample interstitial fluid for laboratory analysis. The indwelling Catheter is designed for use up to 24 hours. The Twin Star Compartment Pressure Monitoring provides a means of displaying the intracompartmental pressure.

Bench testing was performed to support a determination of substantial equivalence and consisted of biocompatibility, electrical safety testing and design verification. Results from this testing provide assurance that the proposed device has been designed and tested to assure conformance to the requirements for its intended use. A risk analysis of the system and its software was performed and testing was conducted to validate the systems overall operations.

The Twin Star Compartment Pressure Monitor and Fluid Collection Catheter System (CMS-II) utilizes substantially equivalent performance attributes and safety components as the predicate devices. It shares the following similarities to the predicate devices:

- Monitoring Pressure .
- Fluid Collection
- Membrane Diameter
- Single Patient Use .
- Pressure Sensor Location
- Electrical Safety .
- Vacuum Source
- Principles of operation

Based on the similar indications for use, technological characteristics and performance testing, Twin Star Medical, Inc. believes the proposed device, the Twin Star Compartment Pressure Monitor and Fluid Collection Catheter System (CMS-II), is substantially equivalent to the Twin Star Compartment Monitoring and Fluid Collection Catheter System (Catheter, K041771). Twin Star Compartment Pressure Monitoring and Fluid Collection Monitor (CMS Monitor, K060963), Synthes (USA) Compartmental Pressure Monitoring System (K031555) and the Stryker Compartment Syndrome Pressure Monitoring System (K844214).

Dear Mr. Sachs:

We 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 additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820);
