Intended Use
Draining and monitoring of CSF flow from the lateral ventricles or lumbar subarachnoid space is indicated in selected patients to reduce intracranial pressure (ICP), e.g. preintra- or postoperative; monitor CSF chemistry, cytology and physiology; provide temporary CSF drainage in patients with infected cerebrospinal fluid shunts. The monitoring of the intracranial pressure (ICP) is indicated in selected patients with severe head injury; subarachnoid hemormage graded III, IV or V preoperatively; Reyes syndrome or similar encephalopathies; hydrocephalus; intracranial hemorrhage or miscellaneous problems when drainage is to be used as a therapeutic maneuver. Monitoring can also be used to evaluate the status pre-and postoperatively for space occupying lesions.
Device Story
Becker EDMS is a closed system for draining and monitoring cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from lateral ventricles or lumbar subarachnoid space. System components include a non-distensible patient connection line, stopcock, mounting panel, injection sites, and a removable drainage bag with microbial filter. A graduated 50 cc flow chamber with drip former and conical bottom allows for volumetric measurement of CSF. Used in clinical settings by neurosurgeons and clinical staff to manage intracranial pressure (ICP) and monitor CSF chemistry/physiology. By providing temporary drainage and pressure monitoring, the device assists in therapeutic management of neurological conditions and post-operative status. Output is visual (fluid level in chamber/bag) and allows clinicians to assess patient intracranial status and adjust drainage therapy accordingly.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design, material, and performance characteristic comparisons to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
System includes non-distensible patient connection line, stopcock, mounting panel, non-latex injection sites, and drainage bag with microbial filter. Features a graduated 50 cc flow chamber with drip former and conical bottom. Materials are consistent with currently marketed devices. Non-electronic, mechanical system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring CSF drainage or ICP monitoring, including those with severe head injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage (grade III-V), Reyes syndrome, encephalopathies, hydrocephalus, intracranial hemorrhage, space-occupying lesions, or infected CSF shunts.
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.

## Determination of substantial equivalence
The ICP monitoring device and method were first described in an article published in 1973. Over the years the device has come into widespread use.
Medtronic PS Medical has, with input from neurosurgeons, developed a device design, which is considered to be equivalent to the predicate Codman External Drainage System II (K902257, 19249383 The Medtronic PS Medical Becker EDMS is a complete closed system indicated for the draining and monitoring of CSF flow from the lateral ventricles or lumbar subarachnoid space.
K910938 - listed incorrectly throughout Medtronic PS Medical considers the Medtronic PS Medical Becker EDMS to be substantially equivalent to the Codman External Drainage System II (K902257, K920938), currently in commercial distribution. The predicate device is used for draining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and other fluids of similar physical characteristics as a means of reducing and controlling increased intracranial volume and pressure when the insertion of a permanent internal shunt is not needed. A comparison of the Codman External Drainage System II and the Medtronic PS Medical Becker EDMS is included in Tables 1 and 2.
Medtronic PS Medical considers the Becker EDMS to be safe, effective and substantially equivalent in indications, physical characteristics and performance to the noted predicate device. Evidence of this is provided in predicate device product labeling (Attachment 2).
#### Device Name
Medtronic PS Medical Becker External Drainage and Monitoring System (Becker EDMS).
## Predicate Device(s)
Codman External Drainage System II (K902257, K920938)
#### Device Description
The Medtronic PS Medical Becker EDMS is indicated for the draining and monitoring of CSF flow from the lateral ventricles or lumbar subarachnoid space. The Becker EDMS is substantially equivalent in indications, materials of fabrication, performance characteristics and design specifications as compared with the predicate device, Codman External Drainage System II.
The materials utilized in the Becker EDMS are not substantially different to those used in currently marketed products. The Becker EDMS is comprised of a nondistensible blue striped (proximal end) patient connection line, patient line stopcock, mounting panel/main system section, three non-latex iniection sites, and a removable drainage bag with approximate volumetric graduations and microbial filter. A graduated 50 cc

flow chamber with drip former and conical bottom and locking bracket is included on the main system section.
A comparison of the Becker EDMS and predicate device is provided in Table 1.
# Intended Use
The Medtronic PS Medical Becker EDMS will be indicated for use as follows: "Draining and monitoring of CSF flow from the lateral ventricles or lumbar subarachnoid space is indicated in selected patients to reduce intracranial pressure (ICP), e.g. preintra- or postoperative; monitor CSF chemistry, cytology and physiology; provide temporary CSF drainage in patients with infected cerebrospinal fluid shunts.
