A central nervous system (CNS) catheter assembly (20) adapted for use as a ventriculostomy catheter and a spinal catheter includes a catheter body (28) defining at least one lumen (30) therethrough having a drug delivery branch (22) and a monitoring/sensing branch (24). The drug delivery branch (22) and the monitoring/sensing second branch (24) are in fluid communication with the lumen (30). The assembly further includes a filter assembly (36) disposed in fluid communication with the drug delivery branch (22) and a valve assembly (54) disposed in fluid communication with the monitoring/sensing branch (24). Also in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a temperature control system (170) for use in controlling the temperature of a location within the central nervous system such as the brain or the spinal cord. The system further includes a pump controller (180), a central processing unit or controller (194), a temperature sensing element (184), and a power supply (194) all operatively connected to the temperature control mechanism.

L'invention concerne un ensemble de cathéter (20) pour le système nerveux central (SNC), prévu pour servir de cathéter de ventriculostomie et de cathéter spinal. Cet ensemble comprend un corps de cathéter (28) définissant au moins une lumière (30) dans ce dernier, avec une tubulure d'administration de médicament (22) et une tubulure de contrôle/détection (24). Ces deux tubulures (22) et (24) sont en communication par le fluide avec la lumière (30). L'ensemble comprend également un ensemble formant filtre (36) placé en communication par le fluide avec la tubulure d'administration de médicament (22) et un ensemble de clapet (54) placé en communication par le fluide avec la tubulure de contrôle/détection (24). En outre, toujours selon l'invention, un système de commande de température (170) est prévu pour contrôler la température d'un emplacement dans le système nerveux central tel que le cerveau ou la moelle épinière. Ce système comporte aussi un contrôleur de pompe (180), une unité de traitement centrale ou un contrôleur (194), un élément de détection de température (184), et une alimentation en courant (194) tous reliés de manière opérationnelle au mécanisme de commande de température.
