Intended Use
The XABO Catheters are used for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting.
Device Story
XABO Catheters are implantable devices for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting; manufactured from barium sulfate-filled silicone elastomer; impregnated with clindamycin hydrochloride and rifampicin for controlled release. Ventricular catheters feature 18 cm length, 1.2 mm ID/2.5 mm OD, 1 cm depth markers, and 16 flow holes; include pre-loaded stainless steel stylet and optional deflector. Peritoneal catheters measure 60 cm or 120 cm, 1.2 mm ID/2.5 mm OD, open-ended, trimmable. Used by neurosurgeons in clinical settings to manage hydrocephalus or related CSF disorders. Catheters articulate with existing Miethke Shunt Systems (e.g., M.blue, proGAV 2.0). Antibiotic impregnation aims to reduce colonization/infection risk. Deflector is MR Conditional (3-Tesla).
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance testing included ISO 7197 compliance, zone of inhibition, drug release kinetics, and crush resistance. Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1 included cytotoxicity, sensitization, genotoxicity, implantation, systemic toxicity, hemolysis, and pyrogenicity. Toxicological risk assessment performed for extractables/leachables. MRI safety testing conducted per ASTM F2213, F2182, F2119, and F2503.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Barium sulfate-filled silicone elastomer impregnated with clindamycin hydrochloride and rifampicin. Dimensions: 1.2 mm ID, 2.5 mm OD; lengths 18 cm (ventricular), 60/120 cm (peritoneal).

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 Kathy Racosky:
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).

{5}------------------------------------------------
The XABO Catheters are manufactured using barium sulfate fillcone elastomer and are impregnated with clindamycin hydrochloride and rifampicin designed to be released over time from the exterior and inner lumen surface once implanted.
The XABO Ventricular Catheters will be offered in 18 cm in length with an inner diameter of 1.2 mm and an outer diameter of 2.5 mm. Lengths are marked in 1 cm intervals starting from the catheter tip, thus enabling the surgeon to qauge the depth of penetration of the catheter into the lateral ventricle. The proximal end of the catheter has 16 flow holes around the catheter circumference.
Components supplied with the XABO Ventricular Catheter include a pre-loaded stainless steel stylet and depending on the confiquration may contain a deflector.
The XABO Peritoneal Catheters measure 60 cm or 120 cm in length, 1.2 mm in inner diameter, and 2.5 mm in outer diameter. There are no length markers or wall slits on the tip is open ended. The catheter may be trimmed to the proper length.
The XABO Catheters are designed to articulate with existing Miethke Shunt Systems, such as the M.blue Adjustable Shunt System. Miethke Shunt System GAV 2.0 and SA 2.0 Valves, proGAV 2.0 Adjustable Shunt System miniNAV valve, and the Miethke Shunt System (DSV, connectors, and reservoirs) cleared by FDA (K192266/K190174/K161853/K141687/K110206/K030698/K011030).
# Intended Use/Indications for Use
The XABO Catheters are used for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting.
## Indications for Use Comparison
The indications for use is the same as the reference device.
## Technological Comparison
As established in this submission, the XABO Catheters are antibiotic-impregnated catheters offered in similar dimensions, lengths, marker lengths and tip configurations that are substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference device is shown to be substantially equivalent and has the same technological characteristics to its predicate devices through comparison in design, function, principles of operation, intended use, material composition, and range of sizes.

Performance bench testing:
Testing was conducted in accordance with ISO 7197 (2006). Testing results confirm that the XABO Catheters meet performance specifications.
Zone of Inhibition, Druq Content, Druq Release Kinetic and Crush Resistance Comparison testing of the XABO Catheters and the predicate device show that they have the same characteristics.
MRI Safety Testing according to ASTM F2213, ASTM F2182 and ASTM FF2119 demonstrated that the deflector is MR Conditional in 3-Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging systems per ASTM F2503.
All testing was performed on the worst-case final finished device.
Biocompatibility testing:
A biocompatibility evaluation was condance with ISO 1099-1 and "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process", as recognized by FDA. Biocompatibility testing included Cytotoxicity, Sensitization/Reactivity, Genotoxicity, Implantation, Acute Systemic Toxicity, Sub- Chronic, Hemolysis, and Pyrogenicity. Chronic systemic toxicity and carcinogenicity endpoints have been addressed by a chemical characterization (extractable and leachable studies).
A toxicological risk assessment evaluated the risk of chronic toxicity, and developmental and reproductive toxicity to patients associated with exposure to the extractable compounds to adult, pediatric an dneonatal patients.
The XABO Catheters and deflector are considered an implant device of permanent duration (>30 days). While the stylet is classified as indirect contact in the area of tissue/bone intended for less than 1 hour duration.
#### Conclusion:
Results of all testing confirm that the XABO Catheters as a component of a sceptance criteria for the specified shelf life, conform to applicable standard ISO 7179, and are equivalent in function to the predicate device, the Medtronic ARES Antibiotic-Impregnated Catheters.
Results of the conducted comparative performance testing confirm that the performance characteristics for both devices, the XABO Catheters and Medtronic ARES Antibiotic-Impregnated Catheters, are substantial equivalent.
