Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Visual inspection: during the investigation, scratches on the outer housing of the valves, but no significant deformations or damage were 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 valves operate within the permissible tolerance in their respective relevant positions.Adjustment test: the progav 2.0 was tested and is not adjustable.Braking force and brake function test: the brake functionality test has shown that the brake function operates as expected; however, the breaking 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 deposits in the shunt system more visible, they were colored using a staining solution.Results: based on our investigation results, we can determine that the progav 2.0 cannot be adjusted.The visible deposits found in the valve may have led to the functional impairment.Deposits caused by natural substances in the body, such as protein, blood or tissue particles, are among the known and unavoidable risks and side effects of hydrocephalus therapy.Even small amounts of proteins can impair the integrity of the valve.Based on our investigation results, we cannot detect any functional deviations or other abnormalities in the shuntassistant 2.0.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.
