Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Visual inspection: during the investigation, deposits on the devices were determined.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 valves operate within the permissible tolerance in their respective relevant positions.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 operates as expected 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 deposits in the shunt system more visible, they were colored using a staining solution.Results: based on our investigation results, we can detect visible deposits on both valves.The deposits did not affect the technical properties at the time of the inspection.At the time of the examination, it is not clear to us how the aforementioned functional impairment occurred.Proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid can have a temporary effect on function and are known side effects of 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.
