Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a progav 2.0 shuntsystem(#fx576t) was implanted during a procedure performed on (b)(6) 2025.According to the complainant, the shunt system caused an underdrainage and had adjustment difficulties.The patient underwent a revision procedure on (b)(6) 2025.The complained product was sent to the manufacturer for investigation.No patient complications were reported as a result of the revision procedure.
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 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 progav 2.0.Results: based on our investigation results, we can determine visible deposits in the progav 2.0.The deposits did not affect the technical properties at the time of the examination.At the time of the examination, we were unable to determine how the aforementioned functional impairment occurred.Organic material in the patient's own cerebrospinal fluid may have temporarily affected the function and is a known side effect of hydrocephalus therapy.Not every deposit in a shunt system, depending on its location, quantity, and consistency, leads to a deterioration in performance.Furthermore, we cannot determine any functional deviations or other abnormalities in the shuntassistan 2.0.The valve is operating within specifications.The examination of the returned item is complete with the preparation of this report.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.
