App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
The deflector may not move freely on the ventricular catheter. The deflector comes pre-positioned at the 5 cm mark on the catheter. In some cases the surgeon will want to adjust the deflector to a different location on the catheter before placing it in the ventricle. There is a small percentage of cases where aggressively attempting to adjust the deflector has a potential to cause the catheter
