Intended Use
The Spectrum® VentriClear™ II Ventricular Drainage Catheter Set is intended for obtaining access to a ventricular cavity of the brain for short-term use to externally drain fluid for the purpose of relieving elevated intracranial pressure or fluid volume. The device is supplied sterile and is intended for one-time use.
Device Story
The Spectrum® VentriClear™ II is a silicone ventricular drainage catheter (2.8 mm/9 Fr, 33 cm length) featuring 16 sideports and numbered markings. The catheter is impregnated with minocycline and rifampin to provide antimicrobial properties. It is used by clinicians to access the brain's ventricular cavity for short-term external drainage of cerebrospinal fluid. The device is supplied sterile for one-time use. It functions as a passive drainage conduit to manage intracranial pressure. Clinical benefit is derived from the reduction of intracranial pressure and fluid volume in patients requiring neurosurgical drainage.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included HPLC, tensile strength, liquid leakage, burst pressure, biocompatibility, and gravity flow rate testing to ensure design reliability and performance.
Technological Characteristics
Silicone catheter, 2.8 mm (9 Fr) diameter, 33 cm length, 16 sideports. Impregnated with minocycline and rifampin. Sterile, single-use. Passive drainage mechanism.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring short-term external ventricular drainage to relieve elevated intracranial pressure or fluid volume.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A ventricular catheter is a device used to gain access to the cavities of the brain for injection of material into, or removal of material from, the brain.

Dear Dr. Heise:
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 (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. 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 (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls.
