This is 1 of 2 reports linked to mfg report number: 3013886523-2025-00135.Event received from a post-market clinical program: a facility reported a hakim valve (id 823832) and a bactiseal catheter (id 823072) were implanted on (b)(6) 2022.One year after implantation procedure, (b)(6) 2023, the patient was admitted due to redness, swelling, and pain in the right upper abdominal wall.A routine color doppler ultrasound revealed localized fluid accumulation in the right upper abdominal wall, suggesting possible displacement of the abdominal end of the vp shunt.On (b)(6) 2023, the patient underwent vp shunt revision, exploratory laparotomy, intestinal perforation repair, omental release, and drainage of an abdominal wall abscess.Intraoperative findings showed that the abdominal end of the shunt catheter was partially transected, and the distal end was externalized and connected to an indwelling needle catheter and rubber tube for continuous drainage.Abscess cultures identified streptococcus anginosus and escherichia coli.Postoperative management included intensified antibiotic therapy, and follow-up imaging on (b)(6) 2023, indicated satisfactory recovery, leading to the patient¿s discharge on the same day.

Updated fields: d4, d9, g3, g6, h2, h3, h4, h6, h11.The hakim valve (id 823832) was not returned for evaluation as the product is not available for return as per customer; therefore, an evaluation of the device could not be performed.Lot number information has been provided; therefore, device history record (dhr) was reviewed, and no anomalies were found.The root cause(s) of the reported issue could not be determined, however, a probable root cause for the "displacement" issue reported by the customer could be linked to human misuse, and the probable root cause for the "infection" issue reported by the customer could be linked to the patient and hospital surroundings.If additional relevant information becomes available in the future, this complaint will be reopened, and the respective evaluation performed.Trends will be monitored for this and similar issues.At present, we consider this complaint to be closed.
