proGAV Check-mate

The proGAV Check-mate is delivered sterile
and is intended to be re-sterilised. It is possi-
ble to change and to verify an applied pressure
setting on the valve directly. To verify the actual
pressure setting the proGAV Check-mate has
to be put centrally over the valve. The proGAV
Check-mate will immediately start to move. If
it remains stable, the pressure setting can be
read in allignment to the inlet connector.
To adjust a new pressure setting, the proGAV
Check-mate has to be placed centrally over the
valve. The new pressure setting has to point
towards the proximal catheter (leading to the
ventricle). By pressing down slightly the proGAV
Check-mate, the brake of the valve is decou-
pled, the rotor turns and the opening pressure
of the proGAV is changed.
Please be aware that the steps for changing
the pressure setting should not be more than
8 cmH O per step.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE |

ADJUSTING THE ADJUSTABLE DP-UNIT

Please verfify specifically before using any tool
for verifying or adjusting the opening pressure:
for the adjustable DP-unit, use only proGAV
Tools
and
for the adjustable gravitational-unit, use
only proSA Tools
Each proGAV is calibrated under strict quality
control procedures. The presetting of the ad-
justable DP-unit is 5 cmH
checked before implantation. The setting is
changed in the following steps:
1. Locating the valve
The valve is located under the skin
