proGAV Adjustment Tool

The proGAV Adjustment Tool is used for adju-
sting the valve opening pressure. First the in-
tended pressure setting is selected at the knur-
led dial (1), the opening pressure is shown on
a scale (2). Then the proGAV Adjustment Tool
is placed central on the valve. By pushing the
button (3), the adjustment tip (4) appears, the
brake is decoupled, the rotor turns and the ad-
justed pressure is achieved.
The marking (5) on the proGAV Adjustment Tool
has to point towards the proximal catheter (lea-
ding to the ventricle).
Warning note: If the implantation site is
poorly selected or if the skin over the val-
ve is too thick, adjustment of the proGAV
can be diffi cult or sometimes impossible.
The valve works then as gravitational valve
with constant opening pressure. The patient
should be informed about the risk.

proGAV Adjustment Disc

The proGAV Adjustment Disc offers an other
option to adjust the pressure setting.
The proGAV Adjustment Disc is placed central-
ly over the valve. The desired pressure setting
should be aligned with the proximal catheter
(leading to the ventricle). By pressing down the
proGAV Adjustment Disc on the valve, the bra-
ke is decoupled and the opening pressure of
the proGAV is changed.
Ensure that the pressure setting is changed
