## Indications for Use

Codman Hakim Shunt Systems are implantable devices that provide constant intraventricular pressure and drainage of cerebrospinal fluid for the management of hydrocephalus. Codman Hakim Shunt Systems are available with or without CODMAN BACTISEAL Catheters, which are intended for use in the treatment of hydrocephalus as a component of a shunt system when draining or shunting of cerebrospinal fluid is indicated. Codman Hakim Shunt Systems are also available with or without SIPHONGUARD. The SIPHONGUARD device is designed to reduce the potential hazards of excessive lowering of intraventricular pressure (with respect to atmospheric pressure) when a patient is in an upright position.

## Device Story

Implantable shunt system for hydrocephalus management; provides constant intraventricular pressure and cerebrospinal fluid drainage. System components include programmable/precision valves, catheters (optionally BACTISEAL), and anti-siphon devices (SIPHONGUARD). Device modification adds silicone platform to valve base. Operates via mechanical pressure regulation to manage fluid flow; prevents excessive pressure drops in upright positions. Used by neurosurgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Benefits patients by maintaining intracranial pressure balance and preventing complications associated with hydrocephalus.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Implantable cerebrospinal fluid shunt system. Components include programmable/precision valves, catheters, and anti-siphon devices. Modification involves addition of a silicone platform to the valve base. Mechanical pressure regulation principle. No software or electronic components.

## Regulatory 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. Kanerviko:

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
