Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Visual inspection: a deformation of the outer housing of the prosa valve was observed through the visual inspection.The measurement of the plane parallelism could confirm that with a value of -0,076 mm the housing membrane is clearly outside tolerance (0 ± 0.02 mm).Permeability test: a permeability test has shown that the valve is permeable.Adjustment test: the prosa valve was tested and is adjustable to all specified pressures.Braking force and brake function test: the brake functionality test has shown that the brake function is fully operational and the braking force is within the given tolerances.Computer controlled test: to investigate the claim of over/ under-drainage, the opening pressure is measured using a miethke computer controlled testing apparatus which simulates a cerebrospinal fluid flow.The results show that the valve operates within the accepted tolerance in the vertical position.Internal inspection: after dismantling of the valve, no deposits were found in prosa.Results for the sake of thoroughness and transparency, we would like to point out that a permeability test was already carried out after the revision at the hospital.Based on our investigation results, we can determine a deformation of the outer housing.The deformation had no effect to the technical properties at the time of the investigation.The cause of the aforementioned functional impairment is not known to us at the time of the examination.We can exclude a defect at the time of release.The valve met all specifications of the final inspection when released from christoph miethke gmbh & co.Kg.No further regulatory actions are required from our point of view.
