Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Investigation: visual inspection: during the investigation, some residue tissues on the device were determined.No significant deformations or damage of the outer housing of the prosa could be determined, but the measurement of the plane parallelism has revealed with a value of -0.039 mm [outside the tolerance of 0 ± 0.02 mm] a deformation.Permeability test: a permeability test has shown that all components are permeable.Computer controlled test: to investigate the claim of under-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 operates within the accepted tolerance in the horizontal position.The prosa does not operate within the specified tolerances in the vertical position.An accelerated outflow of prosa could be determined.Adjustment test: both valves were tested and are 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 valves.Internal inspection: after dismantling of the valves, deposits were found in both valves.Results : based on our investigation results, we can determine an accelerated outflow and adjustment difficulties.The determined deposits can be named as the cause for the functional deviation.Organic material 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.
