Reason

CODMAN Neuro is recalling and replacing the CODMAN CERTAS Therapy Management System (TMS), 1st generation, with the CODMAN CERTAS tool kit, 2nd generation, that contains improvements for the indication and adjustment of the valve setting. Some components of the 1st generation are not compatible with the components of the 2nd generation, and the incompatibility could result in reduced indicating/adjusting performance and lead to symptoms associated with over/under drainage of cerebrospinal fluid. This incompatibility is between tool kit components only.
