## Indications for Use

The CODMAN® VPV™ System is designed for use only with CODMAN® HAKIM™ Programmable Valves in the treatment of hydrocephalus when shunting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the ventricles of the brain. It is used to non-invasively adjust the CODMAN HAKIM Programmable Valve to the selected setting and provides confirmation of the valve adjustment, without the need for radiographic imaging when an "Adjustment Complete" message is displayed.

## Device Story

The CODMAN VPV System is an accessory used by clinicians to non-invasively adjust the settings of implanted CODMAN HAKIM Programmable Valves. The system consists of a programming unit, transmitter unit, power cord, and ultrasound gel. The clinician operates the device to transmit adjustments to the valve; the system provides confirmation of the adjustment via an "Adjustment Complete" message, eliminating the need for radiographic imaging. This allows for precise, non-invasive management of CSF shunting to meet individual patient clinical needs.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence based on physical, mechanical, and in vitro performance testing.

## Technological Characteristics

System includes programming unit, transmitter unit, power cord, and ultrasound gel. Non-invasive adjustment mechanism for programmable valves. Class II device (21 CFR 882.5550).

## Regulatory Identification

A central nervous system fluid shunt is a device or combination of devices used to divert fluid from the brain or other part of the central nervous system to an internal delivery site or an external receptacle for the purpose of relieving elevated intracranial pressure or fluid volume (e.g., due to hydrocephalus). Components of a central nervous system shunt include catheters, valved catheters, valves, connectors, and other accessory components intended to facilitate use of the shunt or evaluation of a patient with a shunt.
