Intended Use
The Bactiseal EVD Catheter and Bactiseal Clear EVD Catheter sets are indicated for gaining access to the ventricles of the brain and can be used with dimensionally compatible devices for draining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and other fluids of similar physical characteristics as a means of reducing intracranial pressure and CSF volume.
Device Story
Ventricular catheter system; silicone tubing impregnated with rifampicin and clindamycin hydrochloride to reduce gram-positive bacterial colonization. Catheter placed in brain ventricles; CSF enters through inlet holes; drains into external drainage system. Includes barium sulfate for radiopacity; numerical depth markings; circumferential bands. Used in clinical settings (e.g., neurosurgery/ICU) by physicians to manage intracranial pressure. Output is physical drainage of CSF; enables pressure reduction and volume control. Modifications include updated MR Safe labeling and new supplier for clindamycin hydrochloride.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including drug equivalency per USP standards and drug effectiveness testing per USP <81> and internal methods.
Technological Characteristics
Silicone tubing impregnated with rifampicin and clindamycin hydrochloride; barium sulfate for radiopacity; ink-based depth markings/bands. MR Safe components (catheter, LUER-LOK connector, cap, anchoring clip). Sterilization process unchanged. Compliance with ISO 15223-1 for symbols.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring access to brain ventricles for CSF drainage to reduce intracranial pressure and CSF volume.
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.

## Dear Jocelyn Raposo:
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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. 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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

#### 807.92(a) (4) Device Description
The Bactiseal EVD Catheter Sets and Bactiseal Clear EVD Catheter Set include a ventricular catheter that is supplied with component accessories that facilitate placement and use of the catheter for reducing and controlling intracranial pressure due to excess cerebrospinal fluid. The ventricular catheter is subjected to a treatment process by which the silicone is impregnated with two antimicrobials, rifampicin and clindamycin hydrochloride. Laboratory studies show Bactiseal treated catheters reduce the colonization of gram-positive bacteria on the tubing surface. The ventricular catheter is placed in the ventricles of the brain and CSF enters the fluid conduit through the inlet holes near the tip of the catheter and drains into the external drainage system connected to the catheter. The catheter contains barium sulfate for radiopacity and includes numerical depth markings and circumferential bands, made of ink, from the proximal tip.
#### 807.92(a) (5) Indications for Use
The Bactiseal EVD Catheter Sets and Bactiseal Clear EVD Catheter Set are indicated for gaining access to the ventricles of the brain and can be used with dimensionally compatible devices for draining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and other fluids of similar physical characteristics as a means of reducing intracranial pressure and CSF volume.
#### 807.92(a) (6) Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate
The proposed Bactiseal EVD Catheter Sets and Bactiseal Clear EVD Catheter Set have the same intended use, design, materials, sterility, and fundamental operation as the predicate devices. The proposed changes to labeling and the supplier of the clindamycin hydrochloride do not impact the technological characteristics of the devices. The changes do not raise any new questions of safety and/or effectiveness.

### 807.92(b) 1-2: Summary of Nonclinical and Clinical Testing Performed
The following performance testing has been conducted in support of the substantial equivalence determination. The testing utilized well-established methods. All testing was performed on production equivalent devices.
| Performance Bench Test Results | |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------|
| Test | Conclusion |
| Drug Equivalency Testing per USP standards and USP<br>Monograph for clindamycin hydrochloride | Pass |
| Drug Effectiveness Testing per USP <81> and internal<br>test method. | Pass |
# Sterilization/Cleaning
There are no changes in sterility as a result of the proposed changes. A sterilization equivalency assessment was performed comparing the predicate devices to the proposed device, using clindamycin hydrochloride from the new supplier, and the results were deemed acceptable.
### Shelf Life
There are no changes in shelf life as a result of the proposed changes.
### Animal Studies
No animal studies were required as appropriate verification of the subject devices was achieved based on the comparison to the predicate devices and from the results of the bench testing and engineering analysis.
### Clinical Studies
No clinical studies were required as appropriate verification of the subject device was achieved based on the comparison to the predicate devices and from the results of the bench testing and engineering analysis.
### 807.92(b) (3) Conclusion
Based upon the intended use, design, comparison to the predicate device, and testing performed, Integra LifeSciences believes that the proposed modifications to the Bactiseal EVD Catheter Sets and Bactiseal Clear EVD Catheter Set do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness, and is therefore, substantially equivalent to the predicate Bactiseal EVD Catheter Sets and Bactiseal Clear EVD Catheter Set.
