The Guardian™ Burr Hole Cover System is intended for use during cranial surgery as an implantable 14 mm burr hole cover for the skull. It can also be used to secure a lead with a 1.29 mm (0.051 in) or 1.39 mm (0.055 in) diameter.
Device Story
Guardian Burr Hole Cover System is an implantable device used during cranial surgery to cover a 14 mm burr hole in the skull. It acts as a physical barrier to protect exposed brain tissue. The system includes a base, clip, and cover, with ancillary components (base holder, cranial screws, insertion tool, screwdriver) to assist placement. The device provides both temporary and permanent lead fixation for compatible 1.29 mm or 1.39 mm leads. The surgeon installs the base into the burr hole, uses the screwdriver to secure it to the skull, and uses the clip insertion tool to actuate the clip/insert for lead restraint. The device is a single-use, sterile implant.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Testing included preconditioning, accelerated aging, drop/shock testing, lead restraint performance, rotation testing, stylet/guide tube removal, multiple actuation, vibration testing, cover shear testing, and affixation checks. Biocompatibility testing followed ISO 10993 standards (cytotoxicity, intracutaneous reactivity, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, particulate load, and chemical characterization).
Indicated for use during cranial surgery as an implantable 14 mm burr hole cover for the skull; also used to secure 1.29 mm or 1.39 mm diameter leads.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A burr hole cover is a plastic or metal device used to cover or plug holes drilled into the skull during surgery and to reattach cranial bone removed during surgery.

| Trade Name: | GuardianTM Burr Hole Cover System |
| Common Name: | Cover, Burr Hole |

| Classification Name: | 882.5250 Burr Hole Cover |
| Predicate Device: | NeuroPace, Inc. Burr Hole Cover (K123163) and (K141368) |
| Device Description: | The GuardianTM burr hole cover system consists of three main features: base, clip, and cover. The GuardianTM burr hole cover system is used to close a cranial burr hole and can be used to secure an implanted compatible lead (1.29mm and 1.39mm). The burr hole cover is mated with the burr hole that is drilled in the patient's skull during the cranial surgery. The burr hole cover acts as a physical barrier protecting the exposed brain by covering the burr hole. The burr hole cover can also be used to provide temporary and permanent lead fixation.<br>There are ancillary components of the system (base holder with cranial screws, clip, insertion tool and screw driver) that aid in the placement of the burr hole cover system. The base holder is intended to align the base with the burr hole and to maintain the cranial screws in place in the package and during installation.<br>A clip insertion tool is intended to actuate the clip/insert and place it in the base. A screw driver is used to install the screws to the skull. |
| Intended Use:<br>(Indications for Use) | The GuardianTM Burr Hole Cover System is intended for use during cranial surgery as an implantable 14 mm burr hole cover for the skull. It can also be used to secure a lead with a 1.29 mm (0.051 in) or 1.39 mm (0.055 in) diameter. |

| Comparison to<br>Predicate<br>Devices | The Guardian™ Burr Hole Cover System has substantially equivalent intended use and<br>fundamental scientific technology as the predicate device. The technological<br>characteristics of the Guardian™ Burr Hole Cover System are substantially equivalent<br>to the predicate device. | | |
|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | The design comparison between the Guardian™ Burr Hole Cover System and the<br>predicate device indicate dimensional differences in the burr hole and lead<br>compatibility that does not affect the device intended use of covering a hole in the<br>cranium, as confirmed by the pre-clinical testing. The minor dimensional design<br>difference between the Guardian™ Burr Hole Cover System and the predicate device<br>is not imperative to establish the performance equivalence between the two systems. | | |
| | The Guardian™ Burr Hole Cover System includes an ancillary clip which can be used<br>for temporary restraint of the lead. The predicate device cover allows for both<br>temporary and permanent restraint of the lead, so this does not introduce new issues of<br>safety and effectiveness. | | |
| | Both use Polyaryletheretherketone (PEEK) as the main material for the Burr Hole<br>Cover. All the other additional materials do not affect the substantial equivalence and<br>intended use of the device due to contact type or duration. Both the devices are single<br>use and are sterilized using Ethylene oxide (EO). | | |
