Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Precision and Accuracy Study of the Codman Valve Position Verification (VPV) System. (NCT NCT00196196)

NCT ID: NCT00196196

Last Updated: 2012-05-28

Results Overview

Up to 5 attempts to achieve "Adjustment Complete" using the Codman Valve Position Verification (VPV) system for each Subject. Agreement in 2 of 3 valve X-ray readings by independent radiologists for each Subject was considered "consensus X-ray". All participants included achieved "Adjustment Complete" and a "consensus X-ray reading".

Participant Flow

Subjects were enrolled between September 29, 2004 and October 13, 2006. Twelve (12) investigational sites within the US enrolled 274 Subjects.

Of the 274 Subjects enrolled, 5 were determined to be ineligible - did not have hydrocephalus, a required condition per inclusion/exclusion criteria. Two (2) Subjects withdrew early. Overall, 267 Subjects were eligible for analysis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1

Percentage of agreement between consensus X-ray readings and the intended setting programmed by the Codman Valve Position Verification (VPV) system. This was assessed at various steps (intervals of mmH20) as increments allow on the Codman Hakim Programmable Valve. (1 step = 10 mmH20, 2 steps = 20 mmH20, +2 steps = \>20 mmH20)
