Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 7197 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 150, Implants for surgery, Subcommittee SC 3,
Neurosurgical implants.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 7197:2006) which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— complete revision of 4.1 “MRI compatibility”;
— additional clarifying edits regarding terminology and updated standard references.

Introduction
A shunt is defined as an artificial connection of two compartments inside the body. For the treatment of
hydrocephalus, the ventriculo‑atrial shunt has been introduced initially to control the intraventricular
pressure in the brain of the patients. Today ventriculo‑peritoneal shunts are preferably implanted. In
special cases, a lumbo‑peritoneal shunt is implanted. Normally a hydrocephalus shunt includes a valve
which determines the resulting intraventricular pressure in the brain of the patients and influences the
flow rate through the shunt.
The following types of valve are currently commercially available.
a) Conventional differential-pressure valves (DP-valves) are designed as ball-in-cone valves,
membrane valves or silicone slit valves. They have one characteristic opening pressure. If the
difference pressure between inlet and outlet exceeds this opening pressure the device opens.
After opening, the different types of DP‑valve show a wide range of different flow characteristics.
Differences due to a changed posture of the patient have no intended impact on the function of the
devices.
b) Adjustable DP‑valves act like conventional DP‑valves. In contrast to non‑adjustable devices they
introduce the possibility of a non‑invasive readjustment of the opening characteristic after
implantation. They do not take into account changes due to a changed posture of the patient.
c) Gravitation valves or hydrostatic devices take into account the changed physics in a shunt due
to a changed posture of the patient. These devices aim to avoid an unphysiological negative
intraventricular pressure in the upright position of the patient, which might be the consequence
of the hydrostatic pressure in shunts with adjustable or not adjustable DP‑valves. There are three
different hydrostatic devices commercially available: flow‑reducing devices, valves with a so‑called
“anti‑siphon‑device” or “siphon‑control‑device” and gravity‑assisted devices.
d) Other adjustable valves, e.g.:
— gravitation valves: adjustable hydrostatic devices present in addition to the characteristics of
hydrostatic devices (group 4) with the possibility of a non‑invasive readjustment of the opening
performance of the device;
— adjustable anti‑siphon‑device valves;
— adjustable flow‑reducing valves.
Due to the important technical differences, specific testing procedures are necessary to investigate the
performance of the different valves.
