SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The Camino Micro Ventricular Pressure-
®
Temperature Monitoring Kit consists of a sterile
transducer-tipped pressure monitoring catheter
with thermistor and accessory items which
provide a means of access to the cerebral
ventricles for CSF sampling and drainage,
fluid injection and continuously monitoring
intracranial pressure and temperature. Since
its method of measuring pressure is unique,
please read this section carefully.
Unlike ordinary pressure monitoring systems,
the Camino Catheter has a miniature transducer
and thermistor 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.
The Micro Ventricular Pressure-Temperature
Monitoring Kit contains the following accessory
items for use with the Camino Catheter (Figure 1):
• Camino Ventricular Access Device with
Ventricular Catheter, Bolt, Female Luer Lock
and Stylet,
• 0.209 inch (5.31 mm) diameter No. 4 Drill Bit
with Safety Stop,
• Additional Luer Lock Port to connect
drainage system,

INDICATIONS
The Camino Micro Ventricular Bolt Pressure-
Temperature Monitoring Kit is indicated for use
by qualified neurosurgeons for measurement
of intracranial pressure and temperature in the
ventricles and for cerebrospinal fluid drainage.
The Camino Micro Ventricular Bolt Pressure-
Temperature Monitoring Kit is intended to be
used with an external drainage system as
indicated by individual manufacturers.
