The CERTAS Plus programmable valve offers the ability to optimize the opening without SiphonGuard with SiphonGuard pressure of a shunt system before and after implantation. A shunted patient's condition will often change over the course of their treatment making pressure changes necessary. The CERTAS Plus programmable valve allows a surgeon to non-invasively change the opening pressure to one of eight performance settings, which range from 1 (low-pressure) to 7 (high-pressure), plus performance setting 8, which is a "Virtual Off." This programmability may negate the need for revision surgery to alter the valve pressure. Testing shows that the valve mechanism is resistant to unintended changes in the setting in a 3 Tesla MRI.
