Indications for Use
Integra DP Valve Systems are implantable devices which serve as a parallel flow pathway to divert cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the cerebral ventricles to an appropriate drainage site. They provide controlled intraventricular pressure and CSF drainage in patients with hydrocephalus or other conditions in which CSF flow and/or absorption is impaired. The very low pressure valve (blue band) is used for postoperative drainage of hygromas and other extraventricular conditions. Burr Hole Reservoirs Hydrocephalus valve components are elements used in the implantation of hydrocephalus valve systems. In addition, the burr hole reservoir may be used in conjunction with a ventricular catheter to access ventricular CSF. Gravity Compensating Accessory The Gravity Compensating Accessory is an implantable device which is implanted in series with a hydrocephalus valve to control cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage from the cerebral ventricles to an appropriate drainage site. It is designed to minimize the excessive reduction in intraventricular pressure (relative to atmosphere) and CSF volume caused by the "pull" exerted by the fluid column within the outflow catheter when the patient is sitting or standing.
Device Story
Implantable CSF shunt system; diverts CSF from cerebral ventricles to drainage site (e.g., peritoneal cavity). System uses ball-in-cone valve mechanisms; synthetic ruby ball held against stainless steel seat by spring; spring tension determines operating pressure. Valve opening adjusts automatically based on flow rate/viscosity to maintain constant differential pressure. Gravity Compensating Accessory (GCA) installed in series; uses stainless steel balls to add resistance to flow when patient is vertical, counteracting fluid column 'pull' to prevent overdrainage. Used by neurosurgeons in clinical settings. Provides controlled pressure/drainage; benefits patients by managing hydrocephalus symptoms and preventing excessive pressure reduction.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included magnetically induced displacement force (ASTM F2052-06e1), torque (ASTM F2213-06), RF heating (ASTM F2182-09), image artifact (ASTM F2119-07), and functionality verification post-MRI exposure. Results confirm MR Conditional status at 1.5T and 3.0T.
Technological Characteristics
Implantable ball-in-cone valve mechanism; materials include stainless steel and silicone elastomer (polypropylene also used for some reservoirs). Mechanical operation; passive flow control via spring-loaded ruby ball. MR Conditional. Sterilization method not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with hydrocephalus or conditions with impaired CSF flow/absorption requiring controlled intraventricular pressure and drainage; very low pressure valve indicated for postoperative drainage of hygromas and other extraventricular conditions.

# 807.92(a)(4) - Device description
The Integra DP™ Valve Systems are implantable central nervous system fluid shunt devices which incorporate two ball-in-cone valve mechanisms. They provide constant differential pressure across the valve and continuous, controlled drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the cerebral ventricles to the peritoneal cavity (or another appropriate drainage site). Each unidirectional valve unit consists of two ball-in-cone valve mechanisms, each enclosed in a stainless steel housing. In each ball-in-cone valve mechanism, a synthetic ruby ball is held against a cone-shaped, stainless steel seat by a stainless steel spring.
The tension of the spring determines the operating pressure of the valve. Depending on the CSF flow rate and/or the viscosity, the ball moves back and forth within the cone under the control of the spring. As the ball moves, the effective cross section of the valve through which CSF flows increases or decreases. Thus, the size of the valve opening is adjusted automatically, and the differential pressure is controlled.
A variety of system configurations are available (Standard Valve Systems, Pediatric Valve Systems, Burr Hole Shunt Systems, Valve Unit only). Most valve systems include the necessary components required for an implantation procedure (such as peritoneal and ventricular catheters, plastic subcutaneous tube passers, introducing rod, and connectors). Several color-coded pressure ranges are offered.
The Burr Hole Reservoir is a component of a central nervous system fluid shunt. It is used to connect the ventricular catheter to a silicone elastomer burr hole reservoir cap with integral side-arm leading to the valve tubing. In this configuration, it serves to transmit CSF from this catheter to the valve. It may also be used as a CSF reservoir with a ventricular catheter alone when a burr hole cap without side-arm is used. This reservoir facilitates CSF sampling or intracranial pressure measurement when the burr hole reservoir cap is punctured with a small gauge needle. Configurations include 6.4 mm or 10 mm outer diameter reservoir and regular (2.5 mm) or shallow (0.8 mm) depth. The Burr Hole reservoirs are included as a part of the Integra DPTM Burr Hole Shunt System, or the Burr Hole reservoir and cap can be ordered separately.
The Gravity Compensating Accessory (GCA) is designed to counterbalance gravity's effects on the fluid column within the outflow (drainage) catheter of an implanted shunt system. The GCA can be placed anywhere deemed appropriate by the surgeon along the distal shunt tubing. Its operating characteristics are not dependent on its location along the tubing.
The GCA consists of a silicone elastomer encased stainless steel housing with a ruby ball held in a stainless steel seat (in the vertical orientation) by two to four stainless steel balls. Each ball contributes resistance to flow within the system. Depending on the number of balls, resistance to flow is added to the resistance of the implanted valve system when the patient assumes a vertical posture. In the horizontal orientation, a minimal resistance to flow is added to the svstem.

807.92(a)(6) Summary of the technological characteristics of the device compared to the predicate
The proposed Integra DPTM Valve Systems and Gravity Compensating Accessory have the same technological characteristics compared to the predicate devices of the same name. The addition of MRI safety information to the labeling does not alter the intended use, materials of composition, manufacturing and sterilization process, or the fundamental scientific technology of the devices.
The proposed Integra DPTM Valve Systems indications for use include the claim that they "provide controlled intraventricular pressure", which was not included with the predicate cleared under K861377. This claim was cleared through the Omnishunt System, K903844, on December 28, 1990. The Omnishunt Valve and DP Valve use the same ball-in-cone valve mechanism. The only difference is that the DP Valve contains two mechanisms while the Omnishunt Valve has one.
The Burr Hole Reservoirs are available in either stainless steel or polypropylene. The polypropylene models were cleared under K925810. These devices have the same intended use. The reservoirs differ in material composition. The stainless steel burr hole reservoirs underwent non-clinical testing, as described below, to include MRI safety information in the labeling that accounts for this material difference.
807.92(b)(1-2) – Nonclinical and clinical tests submitted
{7}------------------------------------------------
Non-clinical testing was performed to support MRI Labeling for Integra Shunts and Implanted Accessories, ensuring the safety and effectiveness was maintained following device modifications. Testing included:
- . Magnetically Induced Displacement Force (ASTM F2052-06e1): This test assessed if the amount of magnetically induced force on the device is less than or equal to the force on the device due to gravity. The magnetically induced force for the Integra DPTM Valve Systems, Burr Hole Reservoirs, Gravity Compensating Accessory, and connectors were considered to meet the acceptance criteria in both 1.5T and 3.0T MR environment, thus supporting the MR Conditional claim. The maximum acceptable spatial gradient was determined on the basis of the component with the largest deflection, and is listed in our labeling.
- Magnetically Induced Torque Test (ASTM F2213-06): This test assessed if the amount . of magnetically induced torque on the device is less than or equal to the gravitational torque. The magnetically induced torque for the Integra DPTM Valve Systems, Burr Hole Reservoirs, Gravity Compensating Accessory, and connectors were considered to meet the acceptance criteria in both 1.5T and 3.0T MR environments, thus supporting the MR Conditional claim.
- RF Heating Test: ASTM F2182-09: The acceptance criterion for this test was that no ● portion of the implanted device exhibits an increase in temperature of more than 2℃ at a whole body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) of 2W/kg and head average SAR of 3.2 W/kg (Normal Operating Mode). All tested implants met this acceptance criterion, thus supporting the MR Conditional Claim. Our labeling includes a statement on RF heating that the expected temperature rise is less than 0.4℃ after 15 minutes of continuous scanning (in both 1.5 T and 3.0 T MR environments).
- . Image Artifact Test: ASTM F2119-07: Image Artifact information was collected for the devices in both 1.5T and 3.0T MR environments. For each device, scans were made in three planes (sagittal, coronal, and axial) for T1 weighted Spin Echo. Our labeling lists the worst-case image artifact for T1 weighted Spin Echo.
- . Functionality Verification Test: The valve components were tested both before and after exposure to an MR scan per our internal procedures to verify impact on pressureflow characteristics. Results demonstrated that MR exposure had no impact on the functionality of the valves, thus supporting the MR Conditional claim.
The results of this testing have demonstrated that the Integra DP™ Valve Systems, Burr Hole Reservoirs, Gravity Compensating Accessory and connectors are MR Conditional and support the conditions as defined within the labeling.
{8}------------------------------------------------
# 807.92(b)(3) – Conclusions drawn from non-clinical and clinical data
The proposed Integra DPTM Valve Systems, including the Burr Hole Reservoirs and stainless steel connectors, are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Integra DP™ Valve Systems which were previously cleared to market by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on June 19, 1986 under K861377 (Standard/Pediatric Cordis Hydrocephalus Valve Systems). In addition, the polypropylene version of the burr hole reservoirs was cleared on March 2, 1994 under K925810. The proposed Gravity Compensating Accessory is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Gravity Compensating Accessory which was previously cleared to market by the FDA on July 20, 1994 under K932429 (Cordis Gravity Compensating Accessory).
The addition of MRI safety information to the labeling does not alter the indications for use, intended use, materials of composition, manufacturing and sterilization process, or the fundamental scientific technology of the devices. The safe-use conditions provided in the proposed labeling do not impact the safety and efficacy of the proposed devices, and in fact, are being added to the labeling in order to improve the safe and effective use of the devices. The non-clinical testing has demonstrated the implanted Integra DPTM Valve Systems, including the Gravity Compensating Accessory, Stainless Steel Burr Hole Reservoirs, and associated connectors, are MR Conditional. A patient with these devices can be safely scanned in an MR system meeting the conditions defined within the labeling.
