6 To select English, press the "30" pressure selection button. To view the next two
language choices, press the "200" pressure selection button until the desired
language is displayed. Press the appropriate pressure selection button that is
displayed next to the desired language. The available languages are:
40 = DEUTSCH
50 = FRANÇAIS
60 = ITALIANO
70 = ESPAÑOL
80 = PORTUGUÊS
90 =
7 Each time the power is turned on, the programmer display will return automatically
to the selected language.
8 To change the language again, it is necessary to turn the power off, then on again.
Press the "30" pressure selection button as soon as the initial screen is displayed:

Then follow Steps 5 and 6 above.
Preimplantation Programming Familiarization Procedure
To become familiar with valve programming, perform the following preimplantation
programming procedure while the valve remains in the blister package. It is highly
advisable to program the valve before it is implanted, both for ease of programming
and to provide immediate visual confirmation of the correct pressure setting.
1 Follow Steps 1 through 4 of the Programmer Initialization and Language Selection
Procedure to set up the equipment and turn on the power. The LCD panel will
illuminate and display the following message:
2 Select the desired pressure setting by pushing the appropriate pressure
selection button on the front panel. The programmer will emit a beep sound;
the corresponding blue LED will illuminate and the lamps on the transmitter will
illuminate. At the same time, the display will change to:
TRANSMITTER
PRESS START
3 Place the transmitter's four prongs in the four depressions in the blister around the
inlet valve. Point the arrow on the transmitter in the same direction as the arrow on
the blister (the direction of flow). Look through the illuminated center hole of the
transmitter to verify that the inlet valve is centered in the opening.
4 Push the transmitter's START button. The LCD panel message will change to:
PROGRAMMING
5 During programming, the pressure selector buttons light sequentially until the
selected pressure setting is attained.
6 When programming is completed (approximately 2 seconds), the programmer will
emit a long beep sound and the display will change to:

7 After a short wait, the LCD panel will change to the original message once again:
Note: After several programming attempts, the transmitter may become warm and will
signal the need to cool down by displaying the following message:
TRANSMITTER
Allow the transmitter to cool before proceeding. When the transmitter is ready, the
programmer will display the following message:
Note: If the above message does not appear within one hour, it could be a sign of a
damaged transmitter. Return the transmitter for repair. Also see the section entitled
"The Effect of Ambient Temperature on Valve Programming".
Postimplantation Programming Procedure
1 Follow Steps 1 through 4 of the Programmer Initialization and Language Selection
Procedure to set up the equipment and turn on the power. The LCD panel will
illuminate and display the following message:
2 Select the desired pressure setting by pushing the appropriate pressure
selection button on the front panel. The programmer will emit a beep sound;
the corresponding blue LED will illuminate and the lamps on the transmitter will
illuminate. At the same time, the display will change to:
TRANSMITTER
3 Note: It is not necessary to shave the scalp for this procedure. Palpate the scalp to
locate the implanted valve; specifically, the inlet valve. A fluoroscopic screen may
assist in this process. Place the tip of the left forefinger precisely over the inlet valve,
keeping the index finger parallel to the valve system and pointing in the direction of
flow (see Figure 5).
4. Place the transmitter's four prongs around the inlet valve so that the prongs
are sitting on the scalp. The arrows on the transmitter should be parallel to the
forefinger and pointing in the direction of flow (Figure 6).
5 Center the transmitter so that the illuminated opening is directly above the nail of
the index finger (Figure 7).
6 Push the transmitter's START button. The LCD panel message will change to:
