4.5.2 SAFETY NOTICES AND WARNINGS
WARNING
GAV 2.0 XABO must not be immersed
in antibiotic solutions. The contact of the
catheter with sterile water or sterile saline
solution should be limited to a minimal
period of time and should be done immedi-
ately prior to implantation. The solution may
take on a faint orange colour.
Frequent pumping of the Reservoir can
result in excessive shunting and thus lead
to pressure conditions outside the normal
physiological range. The patient should be
properly informed about this risk.
The gravitational unit of the GAV 2.0 XABO
is posture-dependent. For that reason, care
must be taken to implant the gravitational
unit is implanted parallel to the body axis.
CAUTION
Silicone is extremely electrostatic. Care
must be taken to avoid the catheters coming
into contact with dry cloths, talcum powder
or rough surfaces. Clinging particles could
lead to tissue reactions.
When using sharp instruments, care should
be taken to avoid cuts and scratches in the
silicone elastomer.
XABO Catheters
CAUTION
It must be ensured that the ligature is not
tightened excessively. Damage may result
in a loss of integrity of the shunt and thus
necessitate a revision.
The catheters should only be blocked with a
sheathed clamp and not directly behind the
valve as they might be damaged otherwise.
