Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document provides detailed information about the Integra® Camino® Flex Ventricular Catheter, a medical device designed for continuous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage and intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring. It highlights the catheter's features, benefits, and clinical applications.

Specifications and Features
The Camino Flex Ventricular Catheter is designed with separate lumens for simultaneous CSF drainage and ICP monitoring. It supports a flow rate of approximately 300 ml/hr, significantly higher than the normal CSF production rate of 25 ml/hr. The catheter includes multiple drainage holes to reduce the risk of obstructions.

The sensor located at the catheter tip allows for continuous ICP measurement, independent of fluid flow, ensuring accurate monitoring even if the drainage lumen is occluded. The device is MR conditional at 1.5T and 3.0T.

Clinical Advantages
The catheter provides continuous monitoring with high-fidelity waveforms, capturing critical events and offering at least 24 hours of trending data. This helps in identifying changes in patient compliance and avoiding missed events of elevated ICP.

Designed for ease of use, the catheter requires only a one-time, 30-second auto-zeroing process, eliminating the need for frequent transducer maintenance.

Challenges and Solutions
Common intracranial conditions, such as slit or shifted ventricles, can complicate catheter placement. The Camino Flex Ventricular Catheter addresses these challenges by allowing continuous ICP monitoring even when CSF drainage is not possible.

Continuous digital recordings provide more accurate data compared to manual recordings, which often miss significant episodes of high ICP.

Clinical Studies and References
Several studies are referenced, highlighting the catheter's effectiveness in clinical practice. For instance, a study by Zanier et al. demonstrated the advantages of continuous monitoring over manual recording in detecting ICP episodes.

Ordering Information
The document includes catalog numbers and descriptions for ordering the Camino ICP and Temperature Monitor, Camino Flex Ventricular Catheter, and related accessories.

Conclusion
The Camino Flex Ventricular Catheter, supported by advanced monitoring systems, offers a comprehensive solution for neurosurgeons, enhancing patient outcomes through reliable and continuous ICP monitoring and CSF drainage.

Integra® Camino®Flex Ventricular Catheter Flex Ventricular Catheter Elevated ICP and Missed Events Can Be Detected With Continuous Monitoring • Continuous ICP waveforms can provide qualitative information regarding brain compliance.1 • In a retrospective study of 32 traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients, the authors concluded that manually recorded end-hour ICP measurements result in the omission of a significant number of important episodes of high ICP, some for a long duration. Manual recording methods, therefore, provide a clinical picture that may not be accurate or informative of the true...
