SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The Post Craniotomy Subdural Pressure
Monitoring Kit contains a sterile transducer-
tipped pressure monitoring catheter to be used
as a diagnostic tool for rapidly determining and
continuously monitoring intracranial pressure.
Since its method of measuring pressure is
unique, please read this section carefully.
In addition to the catheter, the following accessories
are included with the 110-4G (see Figure 1).
• Zero adjustment tool.
• (1) each 0.125" (3.17 mm) stainless steel
trocar with scalp tunneling sheath.
Unlike ordinary pressure monitoring systems,
the Camino Catheter has a miniature transducer
®
at the distal tip. This unique design eliminates
the need for a "fluid-filled system" to carry
pressure waves to an external transducer.
Thus, the problems inherent in such fluid-filled
systems are eliminated. The result is a precise
pressure measurement and an artifact free,
high fidelity waveform trace.
Note: A hand drill and various standard surgical
instruments and supplies are required to place
the ICP monitoring system.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

• This device is not intended for any use other
than that indicated.
• Magnetic Resonance
Safety Information: The Camino
is MR Unsafe. Do not bring catheter or
accessories into the MR environment.
RISK AND COMPLICATIONS
Maintenance of sterility during placement and
subsequent handling of the Post Craniotomy
Subdural Pressure Monitoring Kit is essential.
Sterile technique should be used at all times
when inserting, adjusting and securing the
Camino Catheter.
If monitoring is continued for more than 5
days, placement of a new system under sterile
conditions is recommended.
Placement of the Post Craniotomy Subdural
Pressure Monitoring Catheter must be carried
out by a qualified neurosurgeon using standard
surgical procedure and skill. Appropriate
measures to avoid infection and complications
are the sole responsibility of the neurosurgeon
in charge.
