Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a progav 2.0 shunt system (#fx441t) was implanted during a procedure performed on (b)(6)2021.According to the complainant, the shunt system caused an overdrainage and had adjustment difficulties.The patient underwent a revision procedure on (b)(6)2024.The complained product was not yet sent to the manufacturer for investigation.No patient complications were reported as a result of the revision procedure.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Investigation: visual inspection: during the investigation, no significant deformation or damage of the valve 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 valves operate not within the permissible tolerance in the respective relevant positions an accelerated outflow of both valves 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 braking force can not be measured due to the non-adjustability of the valve.Internal inspection : after dismantling of the valves, deposits were found in both valves.Summary of the investigation results: based on our investigation results, we can determine an accelerated outflow and a non-adjustability at the shunt system.The visible deposits in the valves have led to the functional impairment.Deposits caused by substances naturally present in the patient's 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 organic material can affect the integrity of the valve.No further actions are required as a result of the complaint.
Event or Problem Description
The complained product was sent to the manufacturer for investigation.
