## Device Story

The Maurice Worldwide Shunt System is a medical device component used to manage hydrocephalus.

The device is intended for use by physicians or qualified personnel under physician direction. By facilitating CSF drainage, the system helps manage intracranial pressure in hydrocephalic patients.

## 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.
