Manufacturing and quality control data: due to the missing product investigation is restricted to tracability of manufacturing and quality control data.The progav 2.0 shunt system was manufactured by a qualified employee in february 2023.Deviations during assembly did not occur.The product was finally tested as article fx603t and released for packaging and sterilization and was sterilized by miethke.The progav 2.0 has a normal pressure range of 0 to 20 cmh2o.The parameters after completion of the valve assembly were tested at a flow rate of 5 ml/h or 50 ml/h at set pressures of 0, 5, 10 and 20 cmh2o, and were found to meet specifications.The valve was pre-adjusted to 5 cmh2o in accordance with the specification.The shuntassistant 2.0 has a fixed pressure of 25 cmh2o.The parameters after completion of the valve assembly were tested at a flow rate of 5 ml/h or 50 ml/h at a fixed pressure of 25 cmh2o, and were found to meet range the tolerances.All tested parameters were assessed according to specifications.Conclusion information : an investigation was not possible because no product was return for investigation.Based on the traceability data and the final tests before packing and shipping, no functional deviation can be determined.All tests were successfully completed according to the product specification.At this time, the reason for the above-mentioned problem is unclear.Due to the missing sample for examination, a meaningful analysis is not possible.Likewise, we cannot make a meaningful analysis based on the submitted pictures.
