Intended Use
The LiquoGuard CSF system is indicated for the external drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It connects to any drainage catheter (not part of the product) which is usually inserted by the doctor into the lateral or third ventricle of the brain or lumbar subarachnoid space in selected patients to reduce intracranial pressure. The LiquoGuard CSF system controls CSF pressure using pressure sensors and a pump, thus taking the role of the conventional CSF dripping chamber and collection bag (predicate devices). The LiguoGuard CSF system also monitors intracranial pressure up to 75 mmHg and cerebrospinal fluid flow during CSF drainage, and provides many alarm functions not offered by the passive dripping chamber systems.
Device Story
LiquoGuard CSF System is an active, pump-driven external CSF drainage and monitoring device. It accepts input from an external intrathecal drainage catheter via a disposable tube set equipped with dual piezo-resistive pressure sensors. The device uses a peristaltic pump to actively control CSF drainage based on preselected target pressures, replacing passive dripping chambers. It operates in clinical settings (e.g., ICU, OR) and is managed by healthcare professionals. The system provides real-time monitoring of ICP (up to 75 mmHg), CSF flow, and pressure trends, with integrated alarms for pressure deviations, catheter occlusion, sensor failure, and battery status. Data logging and bedside monitor connectivity are supported. By automating drainage and providing active monitoring, the device aims to improve safety, simplify handling, and enhance patient mobility via battery backup.
Clinical Evidence
Retrospective study of 413 patient records comparing LiquoGuard to traditional drip chambers. Primary endpoint was incidence of adverse events. Results showed similar safety profiles between the two methods, with small variations in favor of the LiquoGuard system. Bench testing included pressure measurement precision, alarm functionality (pressure, pulsation, occlusion), mechanical durability, and battery performance; all tests passed predetermined criteria.
Technological Characteristics
System consists of a pump unit and disposable tube set. Sensing: dual piezo-resistive pressure transducers. Energy: battery-backed AC power. Dimensions: 315mm x 210mm x 280mm; weight 4.8 kg. Connectivity: external bedside monitor interface. Software: microcontroller-based for pump control, data logging, and alarm management. Sterilization: disposable tube set.
Indications for Use
Indicated for external drainage of CSF in patients requiring intracranial pressure reduction via lateral/third ventricle or lumbar subarachnoid space catheterization. Used for trauma, post-op, shunt infection, subarachnoid hemorrhage, vascular surgery monitoring, and NPH diagnosis.
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.

### Name of Device:
| Common Name: | External CSF Drainage System |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Proprietary Name: | LiquoGuard CSF System<br>Consists of: LiquoGuard CSF System pump and LiquoGuard CSF System tube set |
| Classification: | Shunt, Central Nervous System and Components, Class II, 21 CFR § 882.5550 |
| Product Code: | JXG |
### Device Description:
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage and pressure monitoring in lumbar and ventricular applications is the "gold standard" for cases involving trauma, post-operation, shunt infection, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) therapy, neurophysiological monitoring during vascular surgery (e.g. TAA and TAAA) and normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) diagnosis. For CSF drainage, dripping chambers are still being used widely. In contrast, dripping chambers for IV infusion have been mostly replaced by perfusors (syringe pumps).
The LiquoGuard CSF System consists of a pump and a corresponding tube set with pressure sensors. The dynamic range of this system is from -15mmHg to +75 mmHg. The tube set is inserted into the pump, connected to the intrathecal drainage catheter (not part of the product) via Luer-Lock and the LiquoGuard CSF System device via cable connector. The device then continuously measures the pressure inside the tube and operates a tube pump whenever the actual pressure is higher than a preselected target pressure. Thus the LiquoGuard CSF System combines CSF drainage and intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring with integrated alarm and documentation/data logging functions, improving safety, simplifying the handling and enhancing patient mobility (by its battery back-up).

### K962928
By using the LiquoGuard CSF System, in the same way as in existing systems, intrathecal pressure can be measured; critical intrathecal pressure in the patient can be recognized, thereby enabling the required diagnostic and treatment steps to be taken. Since the pressure measurement in systems is done via piezo-resistive pressure sensors that are attached at reference height to the patient, there is no difference in intrathecal pressure measurement.
Additional details for comparing these CSF Systems are contained in Table 8 and Table 9.

### Summary of substantial equivalence discussion
Many if not all risks leading to accidental, cerebral herniation in both systems (traditional drainage and ICP monitors) can be reduced or even eliminated by the LiquoGuard CSF Svstem.
The LiquoGuard CSF System is working equivalently to a drip chamber, with the additional safety that, using LiguoGuard CSF System, a partial or intermittent catheter occlusion may be detected in many cases: In difference to the dripping chamber which must be an open system during drainage the LiquoGuard CSF System can measure the hydrostatic pressure inside the tube (drainage system) during drainage because the drainage system is closed, combined with a CSF pressure monitor and its features like displaying pressure values, curves and trends and enabling alarm functionality. The principles of measurement are comparable to the ICP monitor and its pressure transducer as both systems measure the pressure of the surrounding liquid. The only difference is the position of the transducers, and the fact that LiquoGuard uses dual transducers for redundancy.
The LiguoGuard CSF System behaves comparable to a traditional drainage system even in the case of a clotted catheter or collapsed ventricles. It is able to sound and display alarms to operators, is portable, can be used while not connected to the mains, records and stores data and can be connected to bedside monitor systems, same as the Multi Parameter Monitor.
By combining the functionality of dripping chambers with the features of a computer operated device (ICP monitor) and adding a peristaltic pump the LiguoGuard CSF System benefit is potentiated as some major problems are solved (elimination of sensor drift problematic, protection of accidental over and / or under drainage, pressure measurement simultaneously with CSF drainage, etc.).
### Summary and Conclusion of the Performance Testing:
The LiguoGuard CSF System has the same indication for use as the predicate devices (measurement and drainage of CSF). In addition, the LiquoGuard CSF System tubing set is made from the same materials as the predicate devices, and because the risks associated with the surgical insertion of a CSF drain are not dependent on the CSF drainage system chosen, no new safety or effectiveness concerns are introduced over the predicate devices. Please refer to Table 10 for the list of bench tests - there you find a list of all bench tests that have been performed.
The test series exhibits a very wide range of performance tests and all necessary and required tests for the LiquoGuard were appropriate performed and all tests passed according to the predetermined passifiall criteria. Particularly highlighting are tests which serve to check the pressure and alarm systems. For this purpose, a plurality of measurements has been carried out to verify the critical components.

### Summary and Conclusion of the Clinical Study:
Drawing on the user base and combining similar, independent studies from several hospitals into one data basis, we collected 413 patient records on treatments using the LiquoGuard (LG) as well as the predicate devices (drip chambers). We identified a number of "adverse events" and compared their rate of incidence for both cases (LG vs. predicate) for the total patient population as well as certain patient categories, e.g. medical indication.
Since the two CSF drainage methods (LiquoGuard and drip chamber) apply the same therapy (drainage) to the patients, we expected to obtain similar results. Indeed, the data show a great similarity. E.g., total rates of incidence of adverse events are for each type of event very close, with most small variations in favor of the LiquoGuard.
The findings support the equivalence of LiquoGuard and the listed predicate devices.
