The proGAV 2.0 XABO is designed so that it
can be safely used with the shunt components
described in chapter 3.14. Catheters with an
inner diameter of 1.2 mm and an outer diame-
ter of approx. 2.5 mm should be used for con-
nection. In any case, catheters have to be care-
fully fixed with a ligature to the connectors of the
shunt components. Any kinks in the catheter
must be avoided.
Immediately before using the product, the ster-
ile packaging must be visually inspected in
order to check the integrity of the sterile barrier
system. The products should only be removed
from the packaging immediately prior to use.
The proGAV 2.0 XABO should be vented before
implantation and checked for permeability. The
most careful way of filling the valve is by
aspiration through a sterile single-use syringe
attached to the distal end of the catheter.
The distal end of the valve is connected and
immersed in a sterile physiological salt solu-
tion. The valve is patent if saline solution can be
extracted (Fig. 18).
