OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The telemetric system serves to measure
CSF pressure readings whose relative, time-
dependent changes and characteristics may
allow conclusions as to the function of an
implanted ventricular drainage system. Diag-
nostic methods can be used to initiate a pres-
sure change in the shunt system, which can
then be interpreted. The M.scio's measured
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE | GB
data can be read out and displayed with the
Reader Unit. Measured data are automatically
stored on the SD card and can thus be evalu-
ated at a later stage. The relative behaviour of
the CSF pressure in the shunt system can pro-
vide information about its function. This per-
mits the non-invasive detection and localisa-
tion of an occlusion within the shunt system
and also of a mechanical loss of function.
