2 of 2 reports linked to mfg report number: 3013886523-2022-00358.A physician reported a hakim programmable valve was implanted in a 15 year-old male patient to treat aqueductal stenosis with hydrocephalus but later developed bilateral subdural collections.The subdural collections were evacuated, shunt was revised and changed to a programmable vp shunt with pressure at 70mmh2o on (b)(6) 2022.Then patient developed recurrence of bilateral subdural collection.The patient was transferred to another facility where he underwent on a re- evacuation of subdural hematoma on (b)(6) 2022 and pressure setting was increased to 110mm.He underwent a repeat ct imaging that showed no significant increment in ventricle size and hence pressure setting were against changed to 140 and later to 200.He also underwent repeat evacuation of bilateral subdural hematoma on (b)(6) 2022 because of shunt over drainage.Repeat imaging are suggestive that the pressure changes in the shunt are not working and hence shunt was ligated on (b)(6) 2022 and on (b)(6) 2022 the valve was removed.

The hakim valve was not returned for evaluation, after three good faith attempts (gfes) were made.Lot number information has been provided.Therefore, device history record (dhr) was reviewed, and no anomalies were found.The root cause of the reported issue could not be determined.However, a probable root cause for the reported complaint is due, to biological debris and protein build up interfering with the valve mechanism.If additional relevant information becomes available in the future, this complaint will be reopened, and the respective evaluation performed.Trends will be monitored for this and similar issues.At present, we consider this complaint to be closed.
