Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a progav 2.0 shunt system (part # fx577t) was implanted during a procedure performed on (b)(6) 2022.According to the complainant, the shunt system was believed to be blocked and the intraoperative measured pressure did not correspond to the valve setting.The patient underwent a revision procedure performed on (b)(6) 2022.The complaint device was returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.No patient complications were reported as a result of the revision procedure.Age: 40 years.Height: 180 centimeters (cm).Weight: 110 kilograms (kg).Gender: unknown.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Visual inspection: tissue residues on the incoming product.Permeability test: a permeability test has shown that both valves are permeable.Computer controlled test: to investigate the claim of under-drainage, the opening pressure is measured using a miethke computer controlled testing apparatus which simulates a cerebrospinal fluid flow.The valves are tested in both the horizontal as well as the vertical positions.The results show that the progav 2.0 is operating within the accepted tolerance in the horizontal position.The shuntassistant® 2.0 is operating not within the specified tolerances in the vertical position.Adjustment test: the progav 2.0 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.Internal inspection: after dismantling of the valves, deposits were found in both valves.Results: based on our investigation results, we determine an accelerated outflow in the shunt system at the time of the 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 gmbh & co.Kg.No further regulatory actions are required from our point of view.
