A physician reported they noticed the shunt was not functioning as it should and they performed a surgery to remove the shunt and the bactiseal catheter (id (b)(4)).However, they just removed the catheter, it was calcified and broke into pieces, so they needed to take their time to cut out piece by piece (also enlarging the incision).The event led to 30 minutes surgical delay.
