INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE
MONITORING KIT
MODEL 110-4BT
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Intracranial Pressure-Temperature Monitoring
Kit consists of a sterile transducer-tipped
pressure monitoring catheter with thermistor and
accessory items to be used as a diagnostic tool for
rapidly determining 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 Intracranial Pressure-Temperature
Monitoring Kit contains the following accessory
items for use with the Camino Catheter:
• Camino Bolt with Compression Cap and
Turning Wings,
• 0.106 inches (2.71 mm) diameter No. 36 Drill
Bit with Safety Stop,
• Spacer to adjust seating depth of the bolt,
• Strain Relief-Protective Sheath,
• 0.050 inches (1.3 mm) diameter Stylet,
• Hex Wrench,
• Zero Adjustment Tool,
• Thermistor Connector Cover.
Note: A hand drill and various standard surgical
instruments and supplies are required to place
the ICP/ICT monitoring system.
INDICATIONS
The Camino Intracranial Pressure Temperature
Monitoring Kit is indicated for use by qualified
neurosurgeons for measurement of intracranial
pressure and temperature in the parenchyma.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• This device is not intended for any use other
than that indicated.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Safety Information: The Camino 110-4BT
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 Camino Pressure-
Temperature Monitoring Kit is essential. Sterile
technique should be used at all times when
inserting, adjusting and securing the Camino
Bolt and 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 Camino Bolt must be carried
out by a qualified neurosurgeon to avoid
penetration of the cerebral cortical surface
during the drilling process, which requires
