- 2017-04-19FDA-DeviceMedtronic NeurosurgeryClass IThe Medtronic StrataMR adjustable valves and shunts are designed to provide continuous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow from the ventricles of the brain into the right atrium of the heart or the peritoneal cavity. The design enables the physician to non-invasive adjust valve pressure/performance level pre- and post-implantation by using magnetic adjustment tools without the need for radiographic confirmation. After surgical implantation, the Medtronic Neurosurgery StrataMR valves provide a non
Incorrect valve rotor orientation due to misalignment and/or off-center positioning of the StrataMR Locator Tool: When the StrataMR valve is set in the incorrect orientation, higher valve opening pressures result leading to a corresponding underdrainage in CSF fluid performance. This condition may result in the following adverse health consequences: ventriculomegaly, headaches, nausea, vomiting and lethargy. If left untreated, underdrainage has the potential to lead to coma and death.
