Intended Use
The EDM Ventricular Catheters with BioGlide are designed for use as the proximal component for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage and/or monitoring from the lateral ventricles of the brain.
Device Story
Translucent silicone elastomer ventricular catheter with barium-impregnated stripe; incorporates BioGlide surface modification on interior and exterior surfaces. Used as proximal component for external cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage and monitoring from lateral ventricles. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings. Catheter facilitates reduction and control of intracranial volume and pressure. BioGlide modification intended to improve surface properties. Device is sterile, single-use.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design, material, and intended use comparisons to legally marketed predicate devices.
Indicated for drainage and/or monitoring of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lateral ventricles of the brain in patients requiring intracranial pressure management or fluid drainage when permanent internal shunting is 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.

## Dear Mr. Ruedy:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket-notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
