ShuntCheck-Micro-Pumper (SCMP)
"ShuntCheck uses thermal dilution to detect flow in CSF shunts. CSF is cooled transcutaneously with an ice pack and ShuntCheck's thermosensor detects a temperature drop due to CSF flow downstream of the ice. Micro-Pumper is a handheld device which vibrates the shunt valve to generate a temporary increase in CSF flow in patent but temporarily non-flowing shunts. This flow increase can be detected by ShuntCheck."
