Automated CSF drainage and pressure monitoring
with LiquoGuard® 7
From manual risk to controlled precision: automated, monitored CSF drainage for safe and efficient workflows.
Manual CSF drainage
requires constant attention.
Conventional CSF drainage systems may require frequent adjustments, manual checks and constant attention from staff. In busy intensive care units, this can increase the workload, contribute to process variability and restrict patient mobility.
Challenges in day-to-day practice:
- Frequent manual adjustments, for example when switching between drainage and pressure measurement, or re-levelling following changes in patient position
- Continuous monitoring of drainage
- Restricted mobility of patients during active drainage
From manual complexity to
automated CSF monitoring
Traditional drip chambers require numerous manual steps, continuous monitoring and are heavily dependent on the user’s experience. LiquoGuard® 7 automates key steps in CSF management – from pressure and volume control to continuous monitoring. As a result, the device helps clinical teams to reduce repetitive manual tasks and implement standardised care.
Manual CSF-Drainage*:
- Frequent manual checks and adjustments
- Air in the system can affect pressure measurement and drainage
- Re-levelling required if the position changes
- Switching between drainage and pressure measurement
- Continuous monitoring of drainage is necessary
- Restricted mobility whilst drainage is active

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is automated CSF drainage?
Automated CSF drainage facilitates the controlled drainage of cerebrospinal fluid by continuously monitoring pressure and controlling drainage in accordance with defined pressure and volume parameters.
How does LiquoGuard® 7 support teams in the intensive care unit?
LiquoGuard® 7 helps to reduce manual handling, support standardised workflows and provide real-time monitoring with alarm functions for drainage-related events.
Can LiquoGuard® 7 be used for EVD and lumbar drainage?
LiquoGuard® 7 supports ventricular and lumbar drainage workflows, as well as pressure- and volume-controlled CSF drainage.
Does LiquoGuard® 7 support patient mobility?
LiquoGuard® 7 enables patient mobility during active drainage and helps to reduce the limitations of traditional gravity-based drainage systems.
