Intended Use

The NeuroSensor™ system has been designed for use by a qualified neurosurgeon in monitoring cerebral blood flow in patients at risk of cerebral ischemia, and for the direct monitoring of intracranial pressure in both sub-dural and intraparenchymal applications.

Device Story

NeuroSensor system provides real-time monitoring of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and intracranial pressure (ICP). System includes single-use 2mm parenchymal probe, monitor, cranial access port (titanium alloy bolt), and procedure kit. CBF measured via Laser Doppler flowmetry; 780nm laser light transmitted through central fiber; reflected light from moving red blood cells collected by fiber array; signal processed to determine perfusion flux. ICP measured via solid-state sensor at probe tip. Monitor displays real-time digital/trace data; accepts external arterial pressure input to derive cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and cerebrovascular resistance (CVR). Data stored for trend analysis (15 min to 24 hours). Used by neurosurgeons in clinical settings to manage patients at risk of cerebral ischemia; output aids clinical decision-making regarding intracranial hemodynamics.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. In vitro testing demonstrated that the device meets performance specifications comparable to predicate devices. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Combined 2mm parenchymal probe; Laser Doppler flowmetry (780nm laser); solid-state ICP sensor; titanium alloy cranial access bolt. Monitor features color LCD, data storage, and trend graphing. Single-use probe components. Factory pre-calibrated sensors with stored identification/calibration values.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients at risk of cerebral ischemia requiring monitoring of cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure (sub-dural or intraparenchymal). Intended for use by qualified neurosurgeons.

#### Device Description 4

The NeuroSensor™ system consists of a single-use combined 2mm diameter parenchymal probe for the real-time measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and intracranial pressure (ICP) and a monitor for the display and storage of these measured variables and the computation and display of derived variables.

CBF is measured using Laser Doppler flowmetry and provides real-time measurements of local blood flow in the brain. In the NeuroSensor™ system, low power laser light at 780nm is transmitted down a central fiber to the tip of the probe and illuminates the cerebral tissue. The laser light is scattered by the moving red blood cells and is collected by an array of collecting fibers at the tip of the probe. The reflected light is measured and the resulting signal processed to produce a measure of the perfusion or flux of blood in the local tissue sample volume. The flow measurement is converted into absolute units of ml/min/100g using an algorithm determined by a comparison between measurements made using the combined Laser Doppler probe and the reference method of Quantitative Autoradiography.

ICP is monitored directly by a solid state sensor mounted on the side of the NeuroSensor™ probe close to its tip. The sensor is precalibrated in the factory with probe identification and calibration values stored within each probe and there is no requirement for the user to calibrate the probe before use.

The NeuroSensor™ monitor uses a color LCD display to show the two measured variables CBF and ICP continuously in real time, both in digital form and as a realtime trace. The monitor can accept measured arterial pressure from an external patient monitor, and can use this data and the measured CBF and ICP to derive cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and cerebrovascular resistance (CVR). Data is stored by the monitor and can be displayed as a trend graph over a period of 15 minutes, or 1,2,8 or 24 hours.

Completing the system is a single-use cranial access port featuring a titanium alloy bolt, and a convenience procedure kit for cranial access.

#### 5 Intended Use

The NeuroSensor™ system has been designed for use by a qualified neurosurgeon in monitoring cerebral blood flow in patients at risk of cerebral ischemia, and for the direct monitoring of intracranial pressure in both sub-dural and intraparenchymal applications.

#### Summary of Substantial Equivalence 6

The NeuroSensor™ system is similar in design, construction, materials, intended use and performance characteristics to the predicate devices. It differs in combining the measurement of CBF and ICP into a single combined probe. In vitro testing shows that the device meets similar performance specifications as those for the predicate devices. No new issues of safety or effectiveness are introduced by using this device.
