Investigation: visual inspection: during the investigation, no significant deformations or damage of the valve was determined.Permeability test: a permeability test has shown that the valve is permeable.Computer controlled test: to investigate the claim of flow problems, the opening pressure is measured using a miethke computer controlled testing apparatus which simulates a cerebrospinal fluid flow.The valve is tested in both positions.The results show that the m.Blue operates within the acceptable tolerance in either position.Adjustment test: the m.Blue valve 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 is fully operational and the braking force is within the given tolerances.Internal inspection : after dismantling of the valve, no organic deposits or other abnormalities were found.Results: based on our investigation results, no functional deviation of the valve were determined.The valve operated within all specifications.No further regulatory actions are required from our point of view.
