Investigations: visual inspection: deposits on the product.Permeability test: a permeability test has indicated that the progav 2.0 valve has a blockage and that the shuntassistant 2.0 and the prechamber is permeable.Adjustment test: the progav 2.0 was tested and is adjustable to all specified pressures.Klick force and brake function test: the brake functionality test has shown that the brake function is fully operational and the klick force is within the given tolerances.Internal inspection: after dismantling of the valves, some deposits were found in both valves.Results: it should be noted that the product was received dry (i.E.Not submersed in liquid as recommended).The investigation of dry items is not significant due to the affect dry deposits of liquor and blood can have on product performance.In spite of this, we have investigated the valve to the best of our abilities.Based on our investigation, we confirm the presence of occlusion in the system at the time of investigation.This is likely due to the deposits observed inside the valves.As described in scientific literature, the problem encountered is one of the known, inevitable risks of hc-therapy by shunt implants.We can exclude a defect at the time of release.The shunt system met all specifications of the final inspection when released from christoph miethke (b)(4).No further regulatory actions are required from our point of view.
