SECTION C: Indication / Adjustment Procedure
1. Locate the valve and determine the general direction of flow.
Pre-Implantation: If in the package, ensure the direction of flow arrow
on the package and Locator are aligned (Figure 2).
Post-Implantation: For a valve implanted in a patient, locate and
determine the direction of flow of the valve by palpation, focusing
on the hard valve mechanism and inlet and/or outlet connections
(barbs/catheters).
2. Place the Locator on top of the blister or in contact with the patient,
oriented with the valve's direction of flow. A valve illustration is inside
the Adjustment Tool cavity to serve as a reference for the valve.
(Figure 2)
Note: If the Adjustment Tool is within
the Adjustment Tool Cavity of the
Locator, the screen will alert the
user to remove the Adjustment Tool.
Calibration cannot be completed until
the Adjustment Tool is removed from
the device.
Note: During post-implantation,
for best procedural results and
increased stability, grip the device
around its base and place the
concave portion of the Locator
perpendicular to the valve,
maximizing contact between
hand and patient. This will help to
maintain the appropriate position
above the valve mechanism.
