Visual inspection: in the first step of our investigation, we performed a visual inspection of the product.We have checked for possible damage, deformation of the housing, deposits or other abnormalities.The following observations were made during the visual inspection: deposits.Permeability test: the permeability test was performed at a hydrostatic pressure difference of the pressure setting of the progav 2.0 upon receipt plus 30 cmh2o in the horizontal direction of flow.The test showed that the sprung reservoir is permeable.Results: based on our investigations, we can detect deposits but no further problems on the sprung reservoir.Proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid can influence the function temporarily and are known side effects in hydrocephalus therapy.We can exclude a defect at the time of release.The valve / shunt system met all specifications of the final inspection when released from christoph miethke gmbh & co.Kg.Further actions: from our point of view, no further regulatory actions are required.
