Physician Preference Study of ShuntCheck - Madsen

CSF Flow Through the Shunt of a Hydrocephalus Patient Clinical Trial

Official title: Physician Preference Study of the Utility of ShuntCheck to Detect Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) in Patients With Ventriculo-Peritoneal CSF Shunts

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

ShuntCheck can be used to detect CSF flow in asymptomatic hydrocephalus patients and can be used to detect no-flow in symptomatic patients with shunt obstruction.

Secondarily, the ShuntCheck test will yield the clearest results when patients are tested sitting up (or alternatively while supine)
