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 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 progav 2.0 does not operate within the accepted tolerance in the horizontal position.The shuntassistant 2.0 operates within the specified tolerances in the both positions.An accelerated/slower outflow of progav 2.0 could be determined.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.Results: based on our investigation results, we can determine a slower outflow and adjustment difficulties in the progav 2.0.The determined deposits can be named as the cause for the functional deviations.Furthermore, we can determine deposits int the shuntassistant 2.0.The deposits had no affect to the technical properties at the time of the investigation.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.No further regulatory actions are required from our point of view.
