Indications for Use
The Precision Flow OSV II intended use is the same as the Orbis Sigma Valve: it is an implantable system used in the treatment of patients with hydrocephalus, to shunt CSF from the ventricles to the peritoneal cavity or other appropriate drainage site such as the heart's right atrium.
Device Story
Precision Flow OSV II is an implantable variable resistance valve system for hydrocephalus treatment. It shunts cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from ventricles to the peritoneal cavity or right atrium. The device operates via a flow-restricting diaphragm, a seat, and a notched pin housed in a polysulfone casing. It functions in three stages: Stage I (low differential pressure, 5-18 ml/hr flow); Stage II (flow regulation, 18-30 ml/hr flow); and Stage III (pressure relief mode for rapid flow during abrupt intracranial pressure elevation). The system maintains drainage rates near physiological CSF secretion (~20 ml/h). It is surgically implanted by a neurosurgeon. The device provides passive, pressure-responsive flow regulation to prevent intracranial hypertension and normalize intraventricular pressure, benefiting patients by managing hydrocephalus symptoms.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical data provided. The device relies on clinical validation of the flow regulation concept established by the Orbis Sigma Valve, supported by over seven years of clinical use and previous premarket notifications (K913636).
Technological Characteristics
Variable resistance valve; polysulfone casing; synthetic ruby seat and notched pin; flow-restricting diaphragm. Operates via mechanical pressure response. Dimensions/form factor not specified. Sterilization method not specified. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with hydrocephalus requiring CSF shunting from ventricles to peritoneal cavity or other drainage sites (e.g., heart's right atrium).
Regulatory Classification
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.
