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/fluid collection (PMFC) catheter, fluid collection (FC) catheter, and compartment pressure monitor. Introducer provides access to muscle compartment; indwelling catheter monitors intramuscular pressure and samples interstitial fluid for up to 24 hours. Monitor displays intracompartmental pressure. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers to aid in diagnosis of compartment syndrome. Benefits include real-time pressure monitoring and fluid access for analysis, facilitating timely clinical decision-making regarding compartment syndrome management. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Testing included ASTM 4169-09 (Distribution Cycle 13), electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), and EMC emissions/immunity (IEC 60601-1-2).

Catheter System (CMS-II). | | Intended use | The Twin Star Extremity Compartment Monitor and Fluid
Collection System (ECM-III) 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 Description | The Twin Star Extremity Compartment Monitor and Fluid
Collection System (ECM-III) consists of four major
components; an Introducer, a Pressure Monitoring and Fluid
Collection (PMFC) Catheter, a Fluid Collection (FC) Catheter,
and a Compartment Pressure Monitor. The Introducer consists
of tear-away plastic sheath placed over a stainless steel trocar.
The Introducer provides an access to the targeted muscle | | | 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 Extremity
Compartment Monitor and Fluid Collection System (ECM-III)
provides a means of displaying the intracompartmental pressure. | | Performance data | A risk assessment was conducted which covered (1) all aspects
of the possible effects on the safety and effectiveness of the
modified device, (b) described each device modification under
consideration, (c) the verification and validation activities with
acceptance criteria, (d) scientific justification for each activity
and (e) acceptance criteria. Testing included ASTM 4169-09,
Distribution Cycle 13, electrical safety (IEC 60601-1 - Medical
Electrical Equipment Part 1: General Requirements for Safety
1988 + A1: 1991 + A2; 1995) and EMC Emissions and
Immunity (IEC 60601-1-2:2001 + A1:2004 Ed. 2, Medical
Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Safety
