The major indication for use of the External CSF Drainage Management Systems is the management of hydrocephalic shunt infections. If an internal shunt is not indicated, treatment of other cerebral conditions such as pre-operative drainage, intraventricular hemorrhage and post-operative pressure monitoring may also require external drainage to control increased intracranial pressure. This device should only be used by a physician or qualified personnel under the direction of a physician. Care must be taken to ensure compliance with the manufacturer's instructions for use. Prescription Use Only (Per 21 CFR 801.109)
Device Story
External CSF drainage management system; facilitates drainage and monitoring of intracranial pressure. Device functions via gravity-based drainage; intracranial pressure controlled by system height relative to patient. Used in clinical settings by physicians or qualified personnel. Output consists of CSF drainage and pressure monitoring data; allows healthcare providers to manage intracranial pressure and monitor for shunt failure. Benefits include controlled pressure relief and management of infections or hemorrhage. Not intended for drug administration.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Determination of safety and efficacy is based on clinical history and substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
External CSF drainage and monitoring system. Materials are consistent with previously cleared Heyer-Schulte systems (K864676A). Operates via gravity-based fluid drainage; pressure control is dependent on system height adjustment. Non-electronic, mechanical device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring external cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage for management of hydrocephalic shunt infections, pre-operative drainage, intraventricular hemorrhage, or post-operative intracranial pressure monitoring when internal shunts are not indicated.
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.

## SECTION 2 -510(k) SUMMARY
NOV - 3 1997
## 510(k) Summary:
The determination of safety and efficacy for the Heyer-Schulte NeuroCare External CSF Drainage Management Systems is based on years of clinical history with external drainage systems manufactured from the same materials beginning with the Heyer-Schulte Hermetic External CSF Drainage System (K864676A), which was approved by FDA for market in 1982.
The Heyer-Schulte NeuroCare External CSF Drainage Management Systems are substantially equivalent to other legally marketed products; the P-S Medical Becker External Drainage and Monitoring System, the Codman External Drainage System II. the Hever-Schulte/Camino Ventricular Drainage System (K932769) and the Heyer-Schulte Hermetic External CSF Drainage System (K864676A) with respect to functionality, design, placement and use.
Hydrocephalic patients with cerebrospinal fluid drainage systems must be kept under close observation for signs and symptoms of changing intracranial pressure due to shunt failure. These signs and symptoms may vary from patient to patient. Increasing intracranial pressure is characterized by headache, vomiting, irritability, listlessness, drowsiness, other signs of deterioration of consciousness and nuchal rigidity. In the infant, increased scalp tension at the anterior fontanelle and congestion of scalp veins will be noted.
Proper placement of the drainage system is critical. Intracranial pressure is controlled only by the height of the system. It is essential that neither the patient nor the drainage system be raised or lowered accidentally. Height changes should only be made by qualified personnel on the orders of the physician.
These products have not been tested for drug compatibility and are not intended for drug administration.
Heyer-Schulte NeuroCare determines substantial equivalence and safety and efficacy of the Hever-Schulte NeuroCare External CSF Drainage Management Systems based on predicate and currently marketed devices as noted in the summary above.
