The AccuDrain® External CSF Drainage System is used to drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the ventricles of the brain or the lumbar subarachnoid space to a drainage bag. System components facilitate CSF drainage, CSF sampling and Intracranial Pressure (ICP) monitoring. Monitoring of Intracranial Pressure (ICP) is usually performed in selected patients with severe head injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, Reyes syndrome or similar encephalopathies, hydrocephalus, hydrocephalic shunt infections, intracranial hemorrhage and pre and/or post operative monitoring Common features to the System include a closed sterile fluid path, calibrated 75ml graduated burette, 700ml drainage bag, anti-microbial hydrophobic vent, two needleless sampling sites, a patient stopcock, a four-way high flow burette stopcock, cord suspension, red burette height indicator, and integral pole attachment feature. A line level or laser device can be attached. The transparent graduated burette provides visualization of the flow and clarity of the CSF, and allows for volumetric readings to be made prior to fluid entering the drainage bag.
