Tubes placed fully under the skin that move fluid from the chest or abdomen to somewhere the body can absorb it, so there is no drain to empty.
Shunts are FDA product code KPM (shunt, peritoneal). Denver Biomedical's pleural effusion shunt with external pump chamber (K011020, 1 June 2001) and ascites shunt with percutaneous access kit (K011862, 12 July 2001) are in the database. Pleural Dynamics' Automatic Continuous Effusion Shunt (ACES) system (K231096, 18 August 2023) is indicated for adults over 21 with chylothorax or "intractable aseptic pleural effusion".
A one-way valved catheter carries fluid from the pleural or peritoneal cavity to the peritoneum or a central vein, moved by a manual pump chamber or by pressure differences.
