The intended use of the DirectLink Module is to enable the connection of Codman intracranial pressure sensors to an available invasive blood pressure input channel on select commercially available third party patient bedside monitor systems. The DirectLink ICP Extension Cable is intended for use as a connecting cable between the DirectLink ICP Module and a Codman Microsensor ICP Transducer. The Patient Monitor Interface Cable is intended for use as a connecting cable between DirectLink ICP Module, and selected patient monitors available from third party suppliers.
Device Story
DirectLink ICP Module acts as an interface between Codman Microsensor ICP transducers and third-party patient bedside monitors; enables zeroing of ICP sensors; provides zero reference and calibration signals to the monitor; transfers ICP readings for visualization and storage. Powered by the connected patient monitor. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers. Facilitates integration of specialized ICP sensors into standard bedside monitoring workflows; allows continuous ICP monitoring to support clinical decision-making in neurocritical care.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Validation and verification included accuracy tests, output impedance, zero short-term drift, sensor signal stability, power consumption, hardware diagnostics, cable mechanical testing (flex cycles, mating force), and system-level usability testing with surgeons and nurses. Compliance with 60601-1 and 60601-1-2 standards was verified. No clinical or animal studies were required.
Technological Characteristics
Interface module and cabling system. Materials compatible with cleaning via quaternary ammonium/isopropyl alcohol or 70% isopropyl alcohol; extension cable autoclavable. Powered via connection to patient monitor. Connectivity: proprietary interface to Codman sensors and standard invasive blood pressure input channels on third-party monitors. Hardware-based signal conditioning and calibration.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring via Codman Microsensor ICP Transducers, facilitating signal transmission to third-party bedside patient monitors.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intracranial pressure monitoring device is a device used for short-term monitoring and recording of intracranial pressures and pressure trends. The device includes the transducer, monitor, and interconnecting hardware.

Dear Dr. Elena Jugo:
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. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the [kit/tray] have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit/tray. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, and labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638 2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address
