Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Asymptomatic men or women 40 years old or older and have a ventriculoperitoneal shunt placed for normal pressure hydrocephalus and are visiting for routine care.
* Capable of providing valid signed informed consent, or has a legal guardian, health care agent, or surrogate decision maker capable of providing valid, signed informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

* Presence of multiple shunts, or presence of more than one distal shunt catheter (regardless of function) crossing the clavicle ipsilateral to the shunt with suspected obstruction;
* ShuntCheck test would interfere with standard patient care, or emergency shunt surgery that cannot be delayed is indicated;
* Presence of an interfering open wound or edema over any portion of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
