Event Description

It was reported that the hakim programmable valve had stator dislodgement approximately two years after implantation and was revised.Initial settings are unknown.The patient was examined for follow up, and it seemed that the cam was dislodged from the valve, so revision surgery was performed.The distance between the ruby ball and the cam part was from 3.91 mm to 5.36 mm.The surgeon commented that it was spreading due to cam dropping.No further information was provided by hospital.The products will be returned to your site.
