Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Visual inspection: during the investigation, deposits on connecting catheter was determined.Permeability test: a permeability test has shown that all components are permeable.Computer controlled test: to investigate the claim of over- 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 both valves do not operate within the permissible tolerance in their respective positions.Adjustment test: the progav was tested and is not adjustable.Braking force and brake function test: the brake functionality test has shown that the brake function is operational; however, the braking force cannot be measured due to the non-adjustability of the valve.Internal inspection: after dismantling of the valves, deposits were found in both valves.To make the proteins / deposits in the shunt system more visible, they were colored using a staining solution.Results: based on our investigation results, we can determine an accelerated outflow and a non-adjustability in the valves.The determined deposits can be named as the cause for the functional deviation.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 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.
