Instructions for Use
Note: Additional training materials are available from your local sales
representative.
SECTION A: Preparation and Set-Up
Pre-implantation: Confirm and/or adjust the performance setting before
implanting the CERTAS Plus Programmable Valve. This procedure is performed
before the sterile inner package is opened. Place the valve’s sterile package on
a non-metallic surface so the clear portion of the package faces up. Complete
the procedure as described in SECTION B.
Post-implantation: The valve may be adjusted any time after the implantation
surgery. If needed, apply a sterile drape over the incision site. The drape
will not interfere with the magnetic coupling of the adjustment procedure.
Position the patient for the indication and/or adjustment procedure prior to
turning on the device. Complete the procedure as described in SECTION B.
CAUTION: Excessive swelling or thick tissue may make it difficult to determine
and/or adjust the performance setting. If difficulty correctly positioning the
Locator persists, wait until the swelling is reduced. X-ray may be used to
confirm the valve setting.
SECTION B: System Start-up
1. Power on the Locator by pressing and holding the purple button on
the front of the device until the screen turns on. The CERTAS Plus logo
will appear followed by a calibration screen. Make sure the Adjustment
tool is at least 60 cm (24 in.) from the Locator to avoid influencing the
calibration.
