M Scio Dome Implant with distal catheter - Cerebrospinal fluid shunt sensor/port/reservoir

Intended purpose

It is used for intracranial pressure measurement within the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF); it measures intracranial pressure, allows for hypodermic infusion/injection of materials, drains cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and diverts CSF to manage elevated pressure. It has a polymer puncturable dome with distal catheter.

Functional description

The M.scio Dome with distal catheter, an active implantable device with the catheter which integrates into a shunt, functioning as a conventional reservoir. Its measuring cell, housed in the reservoir, has a pressure-sensitive membrane facing the ventricle. Measurement data is collected electronically, read out telemetrically, displayed non-invasively on the Reader Unit Set, and stored on an SD card for user analysis.
