Health Effect - Clinical Code	Hydrocephalus (3272)
Type of Reportable Event	Serious Injury
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Visual inspection: during the investigation, no significant deformations or damage of the valves 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 the progav 2.0 is operating not within the accepted tolerance in the horizontal position.The shunt assistant 2.0 is operating within the specified tolerances in the vertical position.An accelerated outflow of progav 2.0 could be determined.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.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 at the progav 2.0 at the time of our investigation.The cause for the accelerated outflow could be the detected deposits.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.
