ACCESSORIES

Caution: Due to magnets inside the proGAV
Tools, do not use the proGAV Tools nearby
pacemakers.
Further more do not use the proGAV Tools
nearby MRI scanner, since there is a danger
of damaging the MRI-scanner.
proGAV Verifi cation Tool
The proGAV Verifi cation Tool is used for rea-
ding the valve opening pressure setting. First,
the proGAV Verifi cation Tool should be placed
on the valve. The marking (3) on the proGAV
Verifi cation Tool must be in line with the proxi-
mal (ventricular) catheter. The tool contains two
magnets. As soon as the button on the proGAV
Verifi cation Tool is pushed (2) the magnets in
the tool align with the magnets in the valve. The
opening pressure is shown on the scale (1).

proGAV Masterdisc

The proGAV Verifi cation Tool can be easily che-
cked by using the proGAV Masterdisc before
measuring the opening pressure of the valve.
On the disc the positions 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20
cmH O are indicated. If the proGAV Verifi cation
2
Tool is placed on the disc the opening pressure
shown by the instrument should be aligned to
the value of the proGAV Masterdisc.
Example: The proGAV Verifi cation Tool is put on
the proGAV Masterdisc so that the marking on
the instrument is in line with the value 10 cmH
on the proGAV Masterdisc.
The proGAV Verifi cation Tool should indicate
the value of 10 cmH

proGAV Compass

Alongside the proGAV Compass there is an
additional device for measuring the adjusted
opening pressure. The proGAV Compass can
be used to locate the valve when palpation is
not possible. The proGAV Compass is set on
the skin over the implanted valve and moved in
a circling motion until the internal disc is fi xed
over the valve. The opening pressure corre-
sponds to the value indicated towards the di-
1
rection of the ventricular catheter.
